Review: Captain Morgan Watermelon Smash
Captain Morgan Watermelon Smash was just released. This is the fourth cannon ball shaped variety of rum in the Captain Morgan stable of rum. The others include Cannon Blast, Jack-O-Blast, and Loconut. These flavors weighs in at 70, 60, and 40 proof. Captain Morgan Watermelon Smash hits the scale at 50 proof. All are designed to be enjoyed as a chilled shot or mixed in a tasty cocktail. Watermelon Smash is made with rum distilled in St Croix. Natural flavors and certified colors are blended with the rum upon its arrival in the US. How much watermelon flavor does the Captain pack into this rum? I could smell the watermelon from the shelf the bottle sat on. Maybe because the bottles label is watermelon scented, or maybe because there is just too much watermelon flavor to contain in one bottle. Read more
