The Captain Morgan Rum Company traces back to 1944, when Seagram's purchased Jamaica's Long Pond Distillery. The original spiced recipe was itself bought from two local pharmacists, the Levy Brothers, who'd developed it using Long Pond rum.

Questions
Was Captain Morgan a real person?
Yes — Admiral Sir Henry Morgan was a real 17th-century Welsh privateer who operated in the Caribbean with official English backing, later becoming Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica.
How does the spice flavour get into the rum without visible spice pieces?
The spices are infused into the rum during ageing, then strained out before bottling — leaving the flavour behind without any solid spice pieces in the finished liquid.
What's the best way to drink it?
It's built primarily as a mixer — Captain Morgan & Cola is the brand's own signature serve, though it also works well in a Mojito or spiced Hot Toddy.
