Introducing: Captain Morgan Jack-O’Blast
Posted by Arctic Wolf on September 29, 2016
Today Captain Morgan announced a new offering just in time for the October Halloween season. Building upon the success of last year’s release of Captain Morgan Cannon Blast (see my review here), Captain Morgan is adding a new Limited Edition Spiced Rum to the shots category with their brand new Pumpkin Spiced Rum, Captain Morgan Jack-O’Blast Limited Edition Pumpkin Spiced Rum, the first pumpkin spiced rum offering to ever hit shelves
The premise of the new spiced flavour is autumn in a shot glass, as Captain Morgan has blended Caribbean rum with some of your favorite fall flavors, fresh pumpkin and cinnamon (as well as other autumnal spices) creating what they hope will be an insanely delicious shot. Of course, I had to put it through the paces of my review system to see if it was all that Captain Morgan promised.

The cannon blast was a total flop in DC and Northern VA. The bars could not give shots away and many tried. There are bars that still have bottles sitting around because no one will drink it.

I tried to warn everyone when I reviewed it last year. It even won a 2015 Canard for the Most Disappointing Spirit of the Year. (see here: https://therumhowlerblog.com/rum-howler-awards/the-rum-howler-canards-of-2015/)
Fortunately the Pumpkin Spice is the opposite. Although I would sip it rather than shoot it. (see here: https://therumhowlerblog.com/rum-reviews/flavoured-spiced-rums/captain-morgan-jack-oblast-pumpkin-spiced-rum/)

Chip. I picked up a bottle of this last week in Chicago. My wife convinced me to purchase it for the bottle. It is a great improvement over the Cannon Blast, which isn’t saying much as that was dreadful tasting stuff. My friend and I sampled it last Sunday and put some on apple pie. Not bad. Further sipping led us to conclude that it is palatable as a novelty rum in small amounts.
I would say that it’s similar to Captain Morgan Private Stock mixed with pumpkin pie spices.

Rum and Pumpkin Spices should work out well. Did you try any Shots?
