CAPTAIN MORGAN

The Captain Morgan brand was founded in 1944 when the Seagram Company first started producing rum under the name Captain Morgan Rum Company. Seagrams CEO Samuel Bronfman purchased the Long Pond distillery from the Jamaican government, along with the rights to a rum by a Kingston pharmacy that sourced its spirit from the very same distillery, then spiced, aged, and bottled it. In 1985 the distillery was sold along with the rights to Captain Morgan. The brand came into Diageos hands in 2001 and has remained under them since. Captain Morgan has been sold in the US since 1984. Adorned with the iconic artwork by award-winning artist Don Maitz, its one of the largest spirit brands on American soil and an instantly-recognizable classic.
