Talk:Captain Morgan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the myspace link should be removed - as far as i can tell it has nothing to do with the company.

[edit] Usage

What's with the "it is improper to use the expression" line at the bottom? It doesn't describe why it's improper. Removed, unless someone wants to add in why it was improper. Zchris87v 06:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm fairly sure that the reason it was like that was because Captain Morgan specifically was a sailor, and it is insulting to refer to a sailor as a pilot or driver, I suppose. Though I suppose the point is moot not :) AC 14:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sugar content?

Is this rum sweetened -- does it have added sugar? Badagnani 20:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] opinionated

this article sounds like it was written by whatever company makes the drink. anyone with me? Goldencrisp87 05:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. It reads like an advertisement, not an encyclopedia article. Cazort 03:23, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] De-advertising this article: History section first

I think it is not necessary to mention about Henry Morgan any more in this article, since he has no real relationship with the rum.

To say, only the following in that section is relevant and reliable:

In 1944, the Seagram Company started producing rum under the name Captain Morgan Rum Company.

In 1983, Captain Morgan Original Spiced rum was introduced to the United States.

Captain Morgan is now produced by The Diageo Corporation.

If no opinion is raised in the following week I would remove the entire section in the exception of the above lines. --Samuel Curtis^{Shinichian-Hirokian}-- _{TALK·CONTRIBS} 13:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I'm going to remove some of the material. I think this page should link to Henry Morgan; anything about Henry Morgan should be kept on that page. Cazort 03:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invalid link

There is an external link to Historical Look at Captain Morgan that points to a link that has nothing to do with the company or rum altogether. I am removing it. If this can be better relinked, please do. --Stivo 22:15, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Captain Morgan Spiced Gold

The international part of Captain Morgan's official website has a product called "Captain Morgan Spiced Gold". ( http://www.captainmorgan.com/en-row/Rums/RumsDetail_spicedgold?keyword=SpiceGold )

Quote: Morgan's Spiced offers the same great taste of Original Spiced Gold as sold in Scotland and the United Kingdom.

Is this another product, or just another name for Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum? I'm from Germany, where Original Spiced isn't available, but Spiced Gold is a perfect substitute. By the way, it seems the name of Original Spiced in the UK isn't "Original Spiced Rum", but "Original Spiced Gold". Why? 86.56.34.161 (talk) 10:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
