About this product

Easy, Affordable Dark Rum.
Sometimes you don't need a big bottle — you just want a decent rum, a good mixer and something that doesn't take up half the drinks cabinet. Old Captain Dark Rum delivers exactly that in a convenient 20cl format, making it an easy choice for a casual night in, a weekend away or simply trying a dark rum without committing to a full-size bottle.

This is a straightforward Caribbean-style dark rum blend with a soft, rounded character and fruity notes of apricot and plum. Its gentle sweetness and easy-going profile make it particularly suited to simple mixed drinks, while the 37.5% ABV gives it enough weight to work with cola, ginger beer or other favourite mixers.

The real appeal here is convenience. At 20cl, it's an ideal small-format rum for Ireland, whether you're putting together a compact home bar, taking a bottle on a trip or simply fancying a couple of rum and colas without opening a 70cl bottle. No fuss, no unnecessary ceremony — just an accessible dark rum at an approachable price point.

Why we love it:
Old Captain Dark is all about keeping things simple. Soft, fruity and easy to mix, it offers the familiar character you'd want from a dark rum without demanding too much from your wallet or your drinks cabinet. The 20cl bottle is especially handy for casual occasions, making it a smart little format for anyone who wants rum on hand without buying a full-size bottle.

Caribbean

Colour
Deep amber brown.

Nose
Soft and gently aromatic, with ripe fruit and light caramel notes.

Palate
Rounded and approachable, with flavours of apricot and plum, gentle sweetness and a smooth, warming finish.

Keep it simple. Pour 50ml Old Captain Dark over plenty of ice and top with cola for an easy rum and cola, or try it with ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime.

It can also be enjoyed neat or over ice, but this is fundamentally a rum designed to be easy-going and mixable rather than overly formal.
