Kraken Black Spiced

Therockaruba avatar image had this rum recently

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 is a designed spiced rum, using coloring and spices to rev it up as a drink mixer. I think it si very good as a mixer, while perhas a bit to artificial for drinking neat.

Really nothing spectacular (apart from the label). Not really my choice of rum

I'm a sipper of rum, and this for me is certainly sippable. Taste wise, the Dr Pepper and Vanilla descriptions are spot on, as for the other spices they're not too obvious! That said, it's a smooth rum with no afterburn despite its relatively strong alcoholic strength. I'd probably buy it again, and may even upgrade it to a 7 at some point, but I prefer a purer rum.

One of my favourite rums, great straight, on the rocks and mixed

As everyone has their own tastes this has to be the furthest you can get from rum in my opinion. I wonder what kind of black dye they use? It appears to be a marketing gimmick product.

A bit overrated I think, but I know lots of people that love it. Does have good flavours just not great. Add it to your eggnog to bring out its best.

Smooth spiced rum. Not as good as Captain tattoo, but still smooth enough to sip on the rocks. Not bad as a rum and coke.

A strong tasting dark rum, nice level of spice. A little too strong to enjoy straight, but mixes very well.

I don't understand the high ratings here. OK, i'm not a big fan of dark rums, but this rum tastes like Dr. Pepper on steroids and cough drops.

It's a hard ride on this ship
I only consume mixed as this rum if not mixed right will kick you in the ass!
Really to harsh of spice for me to sip and I can only handle the spice in Kraken for a couple of drinks then I have to move to more of a smooth rum
