The center-back has played every minute of the club's incredible season and is the first Leicester captain in their 138-year history to lift the English top-flight title.
His unprecedented accomplishment sees the original bottle design of 17th-century privateer Sir Henry Morgan replaced with the defender wearing similar attire but in a Leicester blue.
Rhys Love, Senior Brand Manager of Captain Morgan said: "The special limited edition bottle features the Jamaican international star dressed as Captain Morgan in royal blue and white robes to match Leicester City's home kit. Captain's lead by example and we are thrilled to have one of the greatest captains of recent times, who coincidentally shares our name, become the center of a historic sporting moment."
"We have created a limited edition Captain 'Wes' Morgan bottle to celebrate his incredible title win triumph as the club's skipper. We salute Leicester City and their own Captain Morgan."
