Connecticut Breweries History: Captain Morgan
Captain Henry Morgan was one of the 17th Century's most daring and successful buccaneers. Captain Morgan was born in Wales in 1635, he sought thrills and fortune in the "New World." Throughout the Caribbean, fom Curacao to Panama City to Jamaica and beyond, his adventures as a buccaneer are legendary. He became one of Britain's most successful military strategists and an inspirational leader. As a businessman and Governor of Jamaica, Henry Morgan was familiar with the booming Jamaican rum trade, so it is no surprise that a brand was created that bore his name. The original Captain Morgan rum would have been produced on traditional pot stills. Enjoyed by swashbuckling buccaneers and other characters of adventurous temperament, traditional dark rums were generally consumed straight or with lime juice. This tradition has survived to this day through Captain Morgan Black Label Rum. |
