Captain Morgan is a brand of flavoured rums (including, in Europe, some rum-flavoured "premium spirit drinks") produced by British alcohol conglomerate Diageo. It is named after the 17th-century Welsh privateer (pirate) of the Caribbean, Sir Henry Morgan.[1]

Captain Morgan everywhere outside of Jamaica is produced by Diageo, however within Jamaica, Captain Morgan is a completely unrelated rum produced by J. Wray & Nephew Ltd., due to Diageo not owning the trademark in Jamaica.[2]

History

In 1944 the Seagram Company started manufacturing the Captain Morgan brand of rum.[3] In 1984, Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum was introduced to the United States.[4] In 2001 the Captain Morgan brand was sold to Diageo, a multinational drinks company based in London.[5] On 15 April 2005, Captain Morgan Tattoo Black Spiced rum and its claimed 'sweet-to-heat' finish became another addition to the Captain Morgan line. Most Captain Morgan rum is sold in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, South Africa, and Global Travel.[6]

In November 2009, the NFL banned a covert ad campaign allegedly put on by Diageo. It was understood that for each NFL player striking the "Captain Morgan" pose on camera during a regular season game, Diageo would donate Template:US$ to the Gridiron Greats (a non-profit which helps retired NFL players with various hardships after leaving the game). The league made this announcement following such a celebration by Brent Celek of the Philadelphia Eagles.[7]

In 2010, two US territories, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands argued over plans for Captain Morgan to move operations to the Virgin Islands for tax reasons.[8] The matter came to a head during a debate in the United States Congress over the USVI's attempt to use tax benefits to lure the company to that territory.[9]

In 2014, Diageo Canada filed a trade dress infringement lawsuit against Heaven Hill Distilleries Inc, claiming striking similarities between the Captain Morgan character and Admiral Nelson, and that the similarity would dilute the Captain Morgan trademark.[10] Diageo Canada won the lawsuit in 2017.[11]

In 2020, the brand launched a new product called Captain Morgan Tiki. This new pineapple mango flavor rum is available in the United Kingdom, Australia, Czechia, and Germany.[12]

Before and after the 2015 SummerSlam event, John Cena used the brand as a nickname for Seth Rollins during WWE's Monday Night Raw.[18][19]

In 2016, Diageo created special limited edition bottles to commemorate Wes Morgan captaining Leicester City F.C. to the 2015–16 Premier League title.[20]

A technique for dislocated hip reduction is named after the pose on the bottle label which a surgeon can mimic.[21]
