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 was my introduction to the rum world and my go to for years. Kraken has some very nice vanilla, caramel, and I'd say some dark chocolate notes to it, It's a great mixer and for me a very nice sipper. However it does have a little bit of bite (which for many can find too harsh) but for 47% I'd say smooth. The great thing about this rum is if you're working to build your palate, the high proof of this alcohol I have found will do it for you, overall I love this rum and it will forever be in my shelf and if your into harder stuff I'd say in yours too.

Side Note: The Mexican Kraken is 35% and a lot smoother and sweeter, if you can get access to it get it!!! 9/10

Just Alcohol to the nose.
Poor taste with an extended cheap artificial vanilla taste.
Poor body, bitter, again artificial, aftertaste. Very bad choice for sipping. Maybe it is ok just for a cake or for cooking, but still remains overpriced.
The only good about that rum is the bottle and the overall marketing.
Far more better optinions on the price range for coce or pina colada.

Nothing special. This rum is so overrated. There is no interested end.

Very drinkable and widely available. One of the best "normal rums" imo.

I want to like this one but it's a Marketing idea more than anything else. Cool name...cool bottle... Heavy on nose ...heavy on palate but all not in remotely a good way 😞

J'en ai reçu une bouteille en cadeau que j'ai ouverte depuis tellement longtemps que je ne sais même plus le nombre d'années. Je n'en ai bu qu'un seul verre et çà ne me parle pas. Celui qui la veut, je la lui offre ...

The flavor of this for me is exceptionally amazing. It's a good mixer rum as well as having it straight. I always keep this rum in the freezer. Having it stone cold for me is the way I like it. To me having it like that brings out the flavor that it has to offer.

The bottle and label are great - very unique
