The spirit marketed under the Captain Morgan name is predominantly a flavored rum. It is a distilled alcoholic beverage produced from sugarcane byproducts, typically molasses, and undergoes a flavoring process with spices and other additions. The resulting product is then aged, contributing to its color and flavor profile.
This type of spirit holds significance due to its wide consumer appeal and prominent position within the rum market. Its accessible flavor profile and relatively lower price point, compared to some aged rums, make it a popular choice for mixing in cocktails and for casual consumption. Historically, brands such as this one have played a key role in popularizing rum as a mainstream beverage, moving it beyond its traditional association with seafaring and piracy.
