The world’s leading brewer, Diageo plc (DEO), pays respect to the famous sailor, Captain Morgan, with the launch of a limited edition of Captain Morgan Sherry Oak Finish Spiced Rum.
The rum is inspired by an archeological finding of a barrel in the wreck of one of Captain Morgan’s 17th century ship during an expedition funded by the brand. The taste has a sweet floral undertone combined with the sweet flavor of oak, sherry wine, vanilla, caramel, dark cherry and cocoa.
The limited edition rum comes in an intricately designed bottle with a metallic label with detailed designs. The life of the iconic sailor Captain Morgan and his struggle during his voyages are depicted on the bottle. The 750 ml bottle, priced at $19.99, contains 70 proof (35% ABV) rum and will be available for a limited period.
Diageo upgrades its products through continuous innovations. Recently, keeping in view the bright future of the luxury alcohol category in the global luxury market, the company launched a limited edition of Johnnie Walker Blue Label crafted by Alfred Dunhill. The new product joins the Richemont luxury brand of blue scotch owned by the company.
Diageo has a leading position both in the beer and vodka markets with a strong portfolio of globally recognized flagship brands, including Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker, Captain Morgan, Baileys and Guinness.
Diageo, which currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), is a leader in the whiskey category and is geared to strengthen the segment with an additional £1 billion ($1.6 billion) investment in Scotland for its whiskey production. The company is expanding its existing whiskey production facilities in the region as well as in new locations.
