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.

If this was a blackstrap rum, I would give it an 8, because it is very unique, has a beautiful color, and taste awesome. If you want a different type of dark and stormy, use Kraken and a not too gingery ginger beer. You don't want to overdo it with too much ginger and spices.

As a spiced rum, I give it a 6 for an overall score of 7. Spiced rum drinkers may add it to their collection for diversity for a small fee of $20, but at the end of the day it's a lightweight in comparison to other spiced rums. I don't actually taste 11 spices, but they well may be there. To some degree, it's like your amateur bartender's "Long Island Iced Tea"; you only taste 2 of the 11 ingredients he claims to have used and you're a little disappointed because you feel jipped (i.e. cheated, bamboozled, conned), but once it's said and done, that drink hit the spot.

A heavier rum, best as an after dinner sweet drink.

Ochutnal som, ale nebaví ma. Jagermeister s tuzemakom pomiešame a peknú fľašku dáme. Hotovo

It's fairly smooth for being a spiced rum. A little sweeter and tastier than Captain Morgan or Sailor Jerry and higher proofed than both. I left my spiced rum phase a while ago but I would still drink this at a party no problem.

Picked this one up based on a friend's suggestion. Vanilla nose that gets better when I tasted it. The spices come forward but it doesn't completely overpower the Vanilla. Works well in mixed drinks too.

Particolare sopratutto la bottiglia. Devo riordinarlo per meglio coglierne le sfumature

Great all round rum. Mixes nice with cola.
Even better with ginger beer 😜

A dark liquid that mimics the color of an octopus, with a strange sweet aftertaste that plays to be rum. In addition, I bought a one-liter bottle because it was priced at a 0.7-liter bottle. I never want to taste this again.

Tmavá tekutina napodobující barvivo chobotnice, s podivnou nasládlou pachutí hrající si na rum. A to jsem vzal litr, protože byl za cenu sedmičky. To už raději lacinou whisky než tohle...

In general I'm not a "fan" of spiced rums, but I wanted to give it a try:

color: nut-brown
smell and taste: complex, a lot of flavors are present: caramel, vanilla, ginger, clove and many more..with a hint of coffee at the end. Finish: long, vividly spicy
