Trinidad and Tobago | Spiced | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4) Distilled

Kraken Black Spiced Rum was first introduced by Proximo Spirits in 2010 . The dark rum is infused with 11 “secret” spices, caramel and other natural flavors.

The rum gets its name after the mythical sea creature 'The Kraken'. As legend has it, this terrifying creature attacked ships at sea during the 18th and 19th centuries - possibly for all the rum on board.

This was my introduction to the rum world and my go to for years. Kraken has some very nice vanilla, caramel, and I'd say some dark chocolate notes to it, It's a great mixer and for me a very nice sipper. However it does have a little bit of bite (which for many can find too harsh) but for 47% I'd say smooth. The great thing about this rum is if you're working to build your palate, the high proof of this alcohol I have found will do it for you, overall I love this rum and it will forever be in my shelf and if your into harder stuff I'd say in yours too.

Side Note: The Mexican Kraken is 35% and a lot smoother and sweeter, if you can get access to it get it!!! 9/10

This is the rum that will always be somewhere in my liquor cabinet. It is my go to for a mixer with its bold taste and color. It is a great rum for just about anything, definite must have for a mixer, and not bad straight or on the rocks. In all, if I could only have one rum in my cabinet that had to do it all, this would be the one.

For me this was very simple rum of one taste, nothing to enjoy, I got enough after 1 glass, no tastes to explore, even though the one that was there is pleasant, it just does not do as a sipper.

Was only thinking of Pirates of the Caribbean when I saw this, so I had to buy it. I didn't like the flavour as a pure sipping rum, but when mixed with a cola it was far better, it has a good strong taste when comparing it to other mixing rums.
You just have to look out for the extra percentages - found out it was 47% after my first mouthful, so a bit more cola was required ;-)

Tried as a sipping rum, not a good experience, needs OJ or eggnnog to suit my taste.

This is my go to rum as a marker for anyone I come to know who wants to try rum. I've found that out of the most accessible rums (in England) it is my most consistently bough bottle.

Better than most of the popular spiced rums but not the best I have tried.

Tried it in a dark and stormy cocktail, not bad al together as I'm not a big fan of spiced rum!
