Captain Morgan Black Spiced
The dark, dry sibling of Spiced Gold. More spice, more alcohol, and less sweetness: Captain Morgan for those who want their long drink bold, with ginger beer instead of cola.
What makes Black Spiced different?
Captain Morgan Black Spiced starts with a blend of Caribbean rums, which is refined with clove, cinnamon, and cassia. The final step is aging in charred oak barrels. Together with the spices, this makes it darker and bolder than the familiar Spiced Gold.
The biggest difference lies in the strength and sweetness. Black Spiced is bottled at 40%, compared with 35% for Spiced Gold, and it is noticeably less sweet. While Spiced Gold revolves around vanilla and caramel, warm spices take center stage here. As a result, it easily stands up to a bold mixer like ginger beer and is also enjoyable over ice.
