Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Non Alcoholic is a breakthrough alcohol‑free take on the beloved Spiced Gold rum, produced by Diageo under the Captain Morgan brand. Crafted with the same adventurous blend of spices—vanilla, molasses, cinnamon, nutmeg—and layered oak warmth, this spirit offers the full flavour experience with none of the alcohol.
On pouring, it reveals a deep amber‑brown colour with bronze highlights. The aroma is rich and inviting, combining warming notes of brown sugar, vanilla and spice. Sipping reveals a smooth palate of caramel sweetness, molasses weight and toasted oak, followed by soft clove and nutmeg warmth. The mouthfeel is rounded and comforting, with a dry, clean finish.

Distillery & Brand Overview
Captain Morgan was first introduced in 1944 by Seagram before becoming part of Diageo in 2001. The brand took legendary pirate Sir Henry Morgan as its figurehead and is known for adventurous, flavour‑packed rums. Spiced Gold 0.0 % launched in 2023 as Diageo’s first alcohol‑free dark spirit, reflecting demand for sophisticated, low‑ABV alternatives. The rum was developed through a two‑year innovation process, sampling over 400 flavour combinations to recreate Spiced Gold’s signature profile without alcohol. As the first alcohol‑free dark spirit from a major brand, it holds a unique place in the spirits market and carries the heritage, quality and craftsmanship expected of Captain Morgan.
Legal Definition & Production
While not a category regulated in the same way as alcoholic rum, Captain Morgan Spiced Gold Non Alcoholic replicates the taste experience of a spiced rum by using natural spice infusions and caramel from non‑alcoholic sources. It is carefully formulated to mimic the aroma and mouthfeel of spiced rum, making it ideal for classic rum drinks, just without the ethanol.
Food Pairings
This alcohol‑free spirit pairs beautifully with both savoury and sweet dishes. Try it alongside spiced apple tart, gingerbread cake or salted caramel pudding for a dessert pairing that mirrors its warm spice character. On the savoury side, serve with roasted pork belly, barbecue chicken or a warm apple and sage stuffing. Its sweet‑spice profile also complements cheese boards featuring mild cheddar or camembert with fig compote.
In lighter dishes, mix it into a rum cocktail for brunch—such as a spiced golden mule with ginger beer—or drizzle it over vanilla ice cream for a grown‑up twist. It also works wonderfully in mocktail punches, paired with apple juice, tonic, or soda for an inclusive, flavour‑packed serve.
Serving & Mixes
Enjoy neat on a large ice cube for a smooth, contemplative sip. For cocktail fun, try Captain Morgan Non Alcoholic Spiced Gold with cola and a lime wedge for a rum and cola alternative. For a mocktail mule, combine with ginger beer, lime and fresh mint. Feeling creative? Mix in apple juice, soda and a dash of bitters for a sophisticated spiced spritz. This spirit is perfect for classic rum drinks and rum mixed drinks without the alcohol.
