Kraken Black Spiced

this is a great rum to me... not understanding the average rating here but this is a great spiced rum.

Min absoluta favorit att blanda med cola. Ger dock inte mycket för att dricka den rent.

So the title says it all, i've got to respect the kraken or face defeat!! Seriously, this takes you away from mixers and allows you you take the rumexperience to the more mature level

Not so good, okey mixer but nothing more. Buy something else.

I know some rum drinkers that even like this one. Perfect for hot weather.

This rum tastes much like alcohol. Anyway, its the right choice with a coke. My rating is 4 + 1 for design.

A strong dark rum, not suited to most.
As with all rums I don't mix.
Therefore I believe this is best served as a winter drink and is certainly good when your feeling run down.Certainly worthy of the name 'KRAKEN'

Read a lot of reviews that absolutely rave about Kraken so I decided to give it a go, Sainsbury's £20, reduced from £23.
Love the colour and the nose is certainly different, but I'm not convinced about the taste. It's not the smoothest, but certainly not harsh, a glowing burn and strong aftertaste.
Tried it neat first, ok, but not really a sipper in my opinion.
Adding 1 ice cube definitely smoothed it out for sipping.
Added coke and was surprised, it makes a great rum and coke.
Not really convinced it will become a fixture in my cabinet, but time might change my mind, along with more tastings.
Cheers graham.
Well I have finished the bottle and I'm sorry to say that I won't be going out for a re fill. I just don't enjoy this rum and quite frankly can't see why it's so highly rated by so many people.
But hey, each to his/her own tastes.
Sadly it's not for me.

either way you can't go wrong. Unique flavor and nice color. I use it more as a mixer

Now thats my favorite rum for the moment! I love the caramel taste!
