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.

I’m confused by the range in the reviews. I’m not sure if the product varies batch to batch but when I tried it it was overproif and vanilla forward. I found it sweet, vanilla rich and enjoyable. I could sip on it neat with a little burn during the sip. I’m. It sure I’d enjoy in a cocktail as I’d imagine the vanilla would overpower the cocktail. All in all a decent flavored/spiced rum.

The bar i got that at, served it to me in the wrong glass, with too much ice and melting ice, at that. It came to me in a sorry state. Still though, its taste was too sweet for my liking, felt like gasoline, too weak to spark my interest and if i could, i would certainly throw it down on the floor and spit over it. It is for wretched things like this one right here, that Spiced Rums get a bad reputation for...

Update: I got a bottle recently, just in case it was better than the terribly served drink i had outside. Just as bad, if not worse! Worst 28 bucks i will have ever spent, throughout my rum explorations!

Pretty terrible on its own, like most spiced rums or cheap stuff, but for whatever reason, Kraken really agrees with me as my rum&coke mixer, add a lime wedge and enjoy. I initially bought it because the bottle looked cool, but now I’ve gone through easily 25 bottles per year over the last three years!

Rhum épicé très accessible en gout pour un néophyte. Un gout de Caramel très facile pour une approche du rhum en douceur.

Aromas of spices and chocolate, quite sweet in taste. Not a bad one

Far too much spice flavoring added for not much body. Not unpleasant and decent in some simple cocktails but never my first choice.

One of the best recipes until now !! Drink it without ice !!

First you taste the caramel then comes the rest and alcohol , nice smooth full body taste for spiced . The more you drink the better ... First time i drink half bottle and it was perfect !!!

Too Sweet for me, it grows in your mouth in a wrong way.
Will never buy this again for sure

It's good but at the end of the day it's a lower quality version of Baron Samedi. I buy it when there is not Baron on the shelf.

(...) Otherwise we wouldn't even finish it back at times. Forgot more details, sadly. The rum was about average quality, maybe better as mixer/blender than sipper. Back then we thought we are drinking something top-tier and expensive, ha...

Bof, je ne suis pas fan, dans la catégorie je préfère de loin le magic black.
