Review: Captain Morgan Cannon Blast

Captain Morgan Cannon Blast image - CopyCaptain Morgan Cannon Blast was just introduced.  This brings the current Captain Morgan family of products up to 9.  There have been many more limited release products, and I’m sure there will be more to follow.  Cannon Ball is described on their cannon ball shaped bottles label, as an intensely delicious shot.  This description, plus an ingredient list that starts with Captain Morgan rum, and includes a unique spice blend of Caribbean Citrus, with chipotle and jalapeno pepper, positions the product to compete with the cinnamon whiskeys, lead by Fireball.  While rum is typically not thought of as a shooter, Captain Morgan hopes to change that.
