Captain Henry Morgan, the legendary buccaneer, was appointed Governor of Jamaica in 1680. He was a natural born leader-he and his crew were famous for their love of adventure and their taste for fine rum. Legend has it, they stored their high proof rum in charred oak casks in order to give it a smooth, mellow taste. Today this tradition lives on in Captain Morgan 100 Proof Spiced Rum, a secret blend of fine Caribbean rums and select spice.
