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.

Ok, if spiced, this is probably the first what you have in mind. It's classic and it's not bad, but fame isn't everything.

Soft and tasteful. The taste of cinnamon and ginger is very lovely.

Lihově ostré, uměle převanilkované, divně překořeněné, sladší a HOŘKÉ !!!
Nechápu tu popularitu.
Hnus.

For me at least, this has been a solid mixer for many years. Since taking an interest in rum more recently, I have spent much more on spiced rums that don't go so well in a mixed drink as this. It has a relatively generic flavour relying on vanilla, so you wont feel miles away from a Captain Morgans spiced for example, but it is richer.

I thought this was different to most spiced rums I've had. One of my top spiced for sure

I don't know how they can label it as a "dark spiced rum"; in actuality, it is just a spiced rum that has a dark colour. It isn't good to drink neat but is quite fresh with coke, lime and lots of ice. For the same price, you could buy Chairman's Reserve which is a vastly superior spiced rum.

Decent enough rum, popular and easy to pick up. Quite a short aftertaste

This is way too sweet and spiced for any serious rum lover. More of a liqueur almost, with a distinct taste of aniseed and licorish.

This stuff is really spiced up. Not for me at all but the bottle is nice
