Review: Captain Morgan Orange Vanilla Twist
Captain Morgan Orange Vanilla Twist was just released. It is a Limited Edison Summer variety. As I watch the snow gently fall outside my window nearly one month before the start of spring, I only wish we were closer to summer. A quick glance of the Captain’s website shows this is one of 12 varieties of Captain Morgan. The rum base is made from a blend of rums distilled in St Croix from Caribbean sugar cane molasses in a continuous still. The rum is oak barrel aged for 1 year. Spice and other natural flavors are blended before bottling at 60 proof. The aroma starts with a burst of fresh squeezed orange juice. Additional time in the glass brings out orange spice drop, vanilla frosting, and bubble gum. The candy sweet orange entry builds to a sugar sprinkled juicy orange peak. It fades with orange bubblegum, cinnamon, molasses, and marshmallow flavor. The finish is warm, very sweet, and spicy, leaving a mild sting, runny caramel, orange salt water taffy and vanilla buttercream taste.
