This week I went to a tasting for Captain Morgan Black, a new rum that's now available in Chicago. Made with Caribbean Blackstrap rum, cloves, cassia bark, and other spices, the rum is finished in double charred blackened oak. Sipped straight, the spices and hints of chocolate and coffee give the rum a nice, smooth flavor. It also works well in cocktails like a Manhattan, and I can foresee folding the bottle I took home into a potent summery punch.
