Captain Morgan White Rum
The UK page says this white rum is distilled five times. The blend is Caribbean.
Captain Morgan describes it as slightly sweet, with crisp notes meant for a mojito or a paloma. Diageo owns the brand outside Jamaica. Wikipedia lists the origin as the US Virgin Islands and a London head office.
The brand began in 1944 under Seagram. This clear bottle is the mixer, not the vanilla spiced gold.
