Review by Imagol Ronmantico
I know the valuation may be excessive, but this rum evokes all my youth and although it is not the best rum in the world I can drink it and enjoy every mix with Coca Cola as from the first day.
Review by Oskar Lango
From the Captain series I started my adventure with rum, this one was definitely the favorite so the sentiment remains. It can be drunk in cocktails at a price of less than £ 50 an item that will get away, especially if one likes spiced
Review by Josh Word
The old go to from my military days. Not even sure if i would still like it but i used to love it with Dr Peppet or Rootbeer. Definitely not a sipper.
Review by Kelvin Peeters
Nice rum for mixing🤌
Review by cigares
The nose is almost correct, with roast, spices and a hint of sake. On the palate, however, weakness is evident from the outset with a hollow mouthfeel, then some aromas appear with caramel and yogurt. The finish is minimal, but not unpleasant. A "rum" that doesn't dare call itself rum (because of the 35%?) or because of the additives? But all in all, a pleasant drink.
Review by Godspeed
The world’s most common spiced rum, very sweet but not badly integrated. Ah what to say, it’s just an inexpensive cocktail tool that does the job when you need a spiced rum.

Just okay. Used in eggnog mixed with other rum to balance the sweetness.
Review by LukaŽiga
4,9:Right from the start, the nose reveals a fairly frank alcohol that evaporates and doesn't return. What follows is a great wave of vanilla mixed with sweet spices. This vanilla is extremely present, sweetened and coated like a candy. The indulgence continues with a little milk chocolate. It's very light in flavor, simple but not unpleasant when you love vanilla!On aeration, guess who steals the show once again? More vanilla, for an even sweeter sensation. The candy aspect is now reminiscent of a large packet of marshmallows. The sweet spices are still present, represented by cinnamon. The longer you wait, the more the vanilla fades in favor of sugar, but this rum isn't meant to wait in a glass, as it's more of a cocktail product. 5,5:On the palate, as you'd expect, it's round and very light. A hint of caramel precedes the avalanche of vanilla and marshmallows. The palate, too, is very simple. 4,5:The finish is short, with vanilla, sweetness and a drying finish..

Good for making cocktails. Smooth impractical!
Review by Rumbaer
Ein Spiced Rum halt. Geeignet für Rum Cola und bedingt für Cuba-Libre. Die alte Abfüllung des Captain mit dem damaligen Logo hatte einen besseren Geschmack als die neue Abfüllung mit "modernem" Logo. (Auf meinem Bild ist die alte Flasche) Nichts zum pur Trinken!
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is very sweet. There's a touch of being stood near a chlorinated pool about this. There's also a vanilla cake nearby. The palate is very sweet but there's sweeter out there. Nothing interesting or complex. Vanilla, caramelised ginger. The finish is short, sweet again. Reminds me of white chocolate cake icing. Honestly, not as bad as expected to drink neat. It's thin but that's the 35% ABV. Not good but I'm not offended.
Review by Andi
Without cola, very thin and watery.
Review by Tim
So viel wie von diesem Rum habe ich wahrscheinlich von noch keinen anderen Rum getrunken. Oops. Mit Cola und Limette ein Klassiker. Durch die Vanille in dieser Kombination auch lecker, aber zum Purtrinken eher weniger geeignet.
Review by Portman
Ich weiß, er behauptet nicht, ein Rum zu sein. Das will er auch gar nicht. Aber selbst für eine Mischbasis ist er mir viel zu süß und alle Aromen wirken vollständig künstlich. Ich kann absolut nichts mit ihm anfangen und kann die massenhafte Annahme nicht nachvollziehen. Da sind Lidl-Eigenmarken deutlich besser und preiswerter und sogar näher an Rum.
Review by Anton Krioukov
Very very slightly better than the white rum version . Very slightly.
