In 1945 Samuel Bronfman's vast Distillers Corporation Seagrams Ltd - set up Captain Morgan Rum Distillers in Jamaica. They began as blenders of spirit from various distilleries which they bottled and marketed as 'Captain Morgan Rum'; but obtained their own sources of the raw material when in 1953 they purchased the Long Pond sugar estate and rum distillery.

It's the flagship rum i Seagram's portfolio, the second bestselling rum brand in the world an the leading dark rum brand in the UK. Blending and bottling takes place a various Seagram sites around the worl which explains why the packaging is not entirely consistent.
