There is a decidedly more complex flavor to the Sherry Oak Finish than to the original Captain Morgan. I feel it is this an amazing take on a classic spirit, with the classic Captain Morgan’s acquiring an evolved flavor by virtue of its time in sherry oak. The initial aroma of the Sherry Oak Finish Spiced Rum is very sweet, with hints of vanilla and raisin coming forth immediately. With each subsequent sip, a collection of flavors come into plain view.
The mixed drinks that utilize rum are provided a nice twist by the inclusion of the Sherry Oak Finish Spiced Rum. The dulcet tones of the spirit turn a normal cola into a fortified Vanilla bomb. The finish of this effort is so unique and welcomed that even it is even noticeable in a cluttered drink like a Long Island Iced Tea. For rum connoisseurs, sipping the Sherry Oak Finish Spiced Rum neat or on the rocks will provide the clearest take on the various facets of the rum. The Sherry Oak Finish links together pieces of sherry, cherry, and caramel into a nectar uniting tart and sweet.
Readers that wish to purchase the Captain Morgan Sherry Oak Finish Spiced Rum can find it for around $19.99 for a 750ml bottle for a limited time.
