They got hold of some of the UK's leading rum and flavour experts, and collaborated with them to develop an unrivalled recipe. They carefully selected each top-notch Caribbean rum distillery, and the spices that would make the blend sing.

Now, it was customary for local Caribbean people to blend herbs, spices, and dried fruit like orange peel and tropical fruit inside their rum, creating a prenatal version of spiced rum. However, it wasn't until Captain Morgan launched its version of spiced rum in 1984 that the subcategory became famous in the rest of the world. Today, we can find brands specialising solemnly in spiced rum, each with a particular blend and recipe.

If you wish to fully enjoy the rich aromatic qualities and delicate flavour compounds of your rum, you better aim to down it within six months to a year after opening it. Once opened, after a certain time, aromas inevitably weaken and the rum slowly loses its richness and colour, taking away from your flavourful experience. That's why it's best to enjoy and appreciate all the hard work and efforts put into the final product by the rum distillers by consuming this glorious drink at the peak of its existence.
