Captain morgan rum bottle
Hi. This board is full of wisdom.
Father in law who is 80 brought this over.
How old do we reckon it is?

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
Maximum possible age is 58 years because post codes weren't around before.
Likely a lot younger.
Unless we're lucky enough to find a Captain Morgan expert could we see the back of the bottle for further clues?

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
It was just the lack of a captain morgan on the bottle that made me wonder.

Bar codes - late 1970s?
Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
How will you drink it Steve ?
Never been into Rum, will you drink it neat or with a mixer.
I like the Single Malt Whiskies, drunk neat obviously.

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
I’m saying 70’s purely because of the design of the label

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
Earliest possible date is 1977 as it has a barcode

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
steve,
there's something printed on the glass of the bottle, out of shot to the right of your second picture. Looks like the mark that was put on the bottle after it left the distillery/factory.
That should give you an accurate date.

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
The bit that I've ringed in red should tell you what you need to know:
Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
The EAN seems to be on modern products https://www.bestwaywholesale.co.uk/product/88167-6" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; so maybe not that old

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
My after 1970 has been topped by the barcode date. Guyana was founded in 1970.

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
You'd be better off drinking Washing up liquid. It tastes better than Captain Morgan.
Now if you want a nice rum, I recommend Kraken instead.

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
Would have thought it was older than that as it has 'Seagram Quality' on the label and they were bought out by a number of companies in 2000 (Diageo took Captain Morgan)Steddyman wrote:22/12/2001 from the barcode.

Re: Captain morgan rum bottle
This week we are mostly drinking 7-year Ron Abuela, as it was on 'special' @ £5.50/litre in Panama we stowed thirty bottles aboard and should've bought more; any halfway decent rum in French Polynesia is £45/litre an up!Steddyman wrote:...if you want a nice rum, I recommend Kraken...
