Captain Morgan Spiced Gold

Captain Morgan Spiced Gold is an iconic spiced rum-based spirit drink known for its blend of Caribbean rum, warming spices, and natural vanilla flavors. The brand's lore is deeply rooted in the 17th-century Caribbean, named after the Welsh privateer Sir Henry Morgan, who later became the Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica.

Originally, the brand was established in 1944 by Samuel Bronfman, the CEO of the Seagram Company, after he purchased a distillery in Jamaica. He discovered a unique spiced rum recipe from a local Kingston pharmacy, the Levy Brothers, which served as the inspiration for what would become a global sensation. In 2001, the brand was acquired by the British multinational Diageo from Seagram.

Today, Captain Morgan is a staple in the portfolio of Diageo, headquartered in London. While the company operates major production facilities in the U.S. Virgin Islands to supply the North American market, much of the Spiced Gold variant found in European markets is produced and bottled in Italy or the United Kingdom. As of 2026, Diageo remains the ultimate owner, continuing to expand the brand with various flavored innovations and 0.0% alcohol-free versions.
