Kraken Black Spiced

But not that great in its own. It is a staple for me in my cabinet for mixing.

I find this rum just a bit sweet and heavy but pretty smooth and very nice over ice. Very sippable. Seems to be getting popular...even seeing commercials on tv.

A very dark black rum. Nice colour. Spicy. I like it, but not too often.

A better spiced rum. Ok for mixing. Fine for clubbing.

I tried mixing this as first like I do with all my spirits and it was OK. But it's best on it's own, it's so full of flavour, and sweet, it's best enjoyed alone.

So its a gimik only i think with watered down rum
You buy this for the bottle only i think

The Ktaken was a breast. SMOOTH and SPICY at first, fire and desire shortly after. A drink to be reckon.

Kraken is the standard by which others will be judged.

This rum to me was pretty strong when compared to other dark rums. The vanilla flavor was a bit too overbearing but still pleasant. You can also most definitively taste the cloves and dare I say a bit of ginger. It was too strong for me to just sip, it was very good though when mixed with cola. Overall it was enjoyable to drink.

That's not rum, it a sweet liquer very similar to cointreau.
