Spiced Rum
The brand Captain Morgan is synonymous with spiced rum, but the category has recently seen a surge of activity in the form of new brands both mainstream and artisan. Spiced rum is rum flavored with a selection of spices which vary from producer to producer, but which generally include cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, and/or vanilla. Spiced rum is commonly barrel aged, at least for a time, and usually features added sugar and caramel for additional color. It is most commonly served in a tall drink, mixed with cola.
