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.

After hearing so much about this rum, I decided to order a bottle for myself. It arrived yesterday and I couldn't wait to taste it before put a review on it. Cant wait to crack open this baby.

As a traditionalist, I don't do spiced rums, but this one is the exception. Kraken is good enough to sip with a few rocks -- the spice doesn't overwhelm the "rum" and blends nicely with the senses. Not a bad starter rum for non-rum drinkers.

The nose is sharp with vanilla, toffee, warm spices and a little alcohol tinge. For a higher proof, the alcohol isn't overwhelming. The flavor follows the nose and the rich vanilla is the star. I'm not one to sip spiced rum however, the little extra warmth from the 47% ABV, really sets off the warming spices and brings everything together into a wallop of flavor. Excellent in any cocktail and can't wait to try it in baking dishes. Yes...Kraken, you are one good spiced rum!

I give it a 9. It's a dark rum very good spice. I like shots so it for that and at 47%, and I like that.

L'habit ne fait pas le moine : beau flacon, couleur qui attise la curiosité, nez flatteur... mais en bouche le caramel masque tout le reste.... dommage.

Mein 7.Rating:
Dies ist mein zweiter Spiced-Rum nach dem Captain Morgan. Ist er besser? Wir werden sehen..

Preis: ca.19-23€

Geruch:
Süße Vanille mit Karamell.
Der Alkoholgeruch steigt tief und scharf in die Nase. Vielleicht ist noch ein Hauch von Rosinen wahrzunehmen.

Geschmack pur (Note 5):
Durch die Alkoholschärfe erinnert mich der Geschmack an Marzipan! Diese beiden Komponenten bleiben durchgängig bis zum Abgang bestehen. Irgendwie ist noch etwas anderes (undefinierbares spice-iges) vorhanden. Geschmacklich nicht soo schlecht, da es sehr süß ist, aber insgesamt doch recht eindimensional.

Geschmack in Cola (Note 6):
Die Cola nimmt die Alkoholschärfe komplett raus. Der Geschmack von Süße, Vanille, Karamell und Marzipan-Gewürz bleibt.

Fazit:
Mir ist er insgesamt zu süß, zu mild und zu rund. Außerdem bekomme ich schnell Kopfschmerzen davon. Trotzdem ist er irgendwie lecker. und dem Captain Morgan unbedingt vorzuziehen! Ein anhaltender Nachgeschmack (wie beim El Dorado 12) ist leider nicht vorhanden.

Un spiced qui se déguste sur glace ou en cocktail, tres bien arrangé, un rhum qui pourra être apprécié du plus grand nombre !
