Interesting Tidbits About Captain Morgan 

Here are some things that some of you may not know that I found very interesting:

Captain Morgan is a brand of rum that was actually named after the 17th Century Caribbean privateer from Wales, Henry Morgan.

Even though the label of the bottle portrays Morgan as a "pirate", the historical Henry Morgan was offended when people referred to him as a pirate, as he considered himself to be a privateer (one whose nation paid and licensed them to attack and plunder an enemies shipping). In other words he was paid to be a pirate.

Although in 1944 The Seagram Company started producing rum under the name Captain Morgan Rum Company, it wasn't until 1984 that Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum was introduced to the United States.

There are many brands of rum, but Captain Morgan seems to be a favorite for serious rum drinkers. Captain Morgan is by volume the second largest brand of spirits in the United States, and the seventh largest world wide. In 2007, there were 7.6 million 9-liter cases sold. Most Captain Morgan Rum is sold in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and South Africa.
Arrgh...Just Add Rum!!!
