Captain Morgan Tattoo Rum

We picked this up over the weekend out of curiousity. I’ve been meaning to try this for a while actually. I also want to get a taste of the various less common bacardi rums as well. I’m starting to become a rum connoisseur, I think.

This rum is very dark in color, in the bottle it looks almost black. When poured into a glass with some ice and a little water you can see it has a deep red brown color to it. There’s something sweet going on with the flavour, but there’s no lack of spice either. I’m having a hard time determining what spice flavors are in this exactly. I want to say that it almost has a cola taste to it. Anne agreed with me about that and added that there is a peppery spice flavour going on. It’s definately a dark rich flavor and you can still taste the nice rum base.

The Captian Morgan site has this to say about Tattoo:

Crafted from fine aged Puerto Rican rum. Blended with a secret combination of premium and hot spices for a finish that starts sweet and ends up heat. Great straight, but versatile enough to stand up to mixers—especially energy drinks.

I haven’t tried mixing it into anything yet, since I’ve been enjoying it’s flavour on its own so much, but I guess I should give it a try.

  1. Tattoo is Mogan David’s big brother. Tastes like grape koolaid fortified with vodka. I like Capt Morgan’s Spiced Rum, but Tattoo is the pits.

  2. I’ve always thought of Tattoo as being designed for use in a rum & coke. It’s flavor complements cola well and I think that it tastes better in a rum & coke than most other rums.
