Captain gets friskier

Fans of Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum can ratchet things up a bit with the new Captain Morgan 100 Proof Spiced Rum just released by brand owner Diageo.

Its makers say the new Captain Morgan, at the highest alcohol content of any of the company's liquors, "was specially formulated to taste great with cola or straight up." So, in that sense the new expression is pretty much like the original 80-proof version in that it is made for mixing rather than straight sipping.

It is available nationwide in a range of sizes from 50ML to 1.75L. The suggested retail price for the 750ml is about $21.
