Captain Morgan Jack-O'Blast is a seasonal pumpkin spiced rum that captures fall in a glass, and it arrives in one of the most playful packages in the spirits world: a bottle shaped and colored like a real jack o lantern pumpkin, complete with the iconic Captain himself. When it launched in 2016, it was billed as the first pumpkin spiced rum to ever hit shelves, a follow up to Captain Morgan's Cannon Blast that quickly became an autumn favorite. Built on smooth Caribbean rum from the long running Captain Morgan brand, which has been sold in the United States since 1984, Jack-O'Blast layers in fresh pumpkin, cinnamon, and a medley of warm autumnal spices to create a flavor often compared to pumpkin pie in a bottle. Bottled at an easy going 60 proof, it is designed first and foremost as a chilled shot, intensely delicious served straight from the freezer, but it is equally at home as a cocktail base. A classic move is the Apple Jack-O: simply mix it with chilled apple cider over ice for a refreshing fall sipper, or build a Pumpkin Spice Shotte with cold brew and a swirl of whipped cream for a boozy take on the seasonal latte. A 2017 San Francisco World Spirits Competition winner, Jack-O'Blast returns each fall as a limited time release, making it a fun, festive, and highly giftable pick for Halloween parties, autumn gatherings, and anyone who loves all things pumpkin spice. Best enjoyed chilled, preferably alongside the fall decor.
