Product Descriptions

The brand takes its name from this Captain Henry Morgan (1635-1688) who was appointed Governor of Jamaica in 1680 and was eventually knighted by King James I.Centuries later he became the figurehead for a company that became as famous as the man himself… The Captain Morgan Rum Company.

Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum launched in 1983. In just over ten years following its launch, Captain Morgan Original Spiced shipped a million cases, a significant achievement for any brand in the industry.

Sam Bronfam bought an age-old family recipe for spiced rum from the Levy Brothers, two Jamaican pharmacists from Kingston, the inspiration for Captain Morgan Original Spiced.

Sugar cane was used to make alcoholic drinks in Egyptian times but it was not until the 16th century that farmers and workers on Caribbean sugar cane plantations took up this ancient tradition. They took molasses, the dark, sticky by-product of the sugar making process and distilled it into a harsh, strong spirit - Rum in the raw. So to soften the blow, distillers would add their own unique recipes of herbs, spices and fruits.
