Kraken Black Spiced

This is my second spiced rum, the first being Capt. Morgan. This rum has a bite to it, I tamed it with a splash of water, to unlock its full potential. I came away with hints of molasses, vanilla, caramel, licorice and coffee a nice starter spiced rum

This rum is terrible, it taste of licorice and has. It reminds me of a drink that is yet to be completed as the flavours are unbalanced.

The bottle however is awesome and would look good on a bar like it is an old rum. Shame about the drink inside.

I like to add Kraken with Malibu on a warm night mixed with a combination or orange, pineapple, and just a splash of cranberry juice. Also not bad floated on top of some pineapple/orange juice.

Its not a rum I can sip on. Great color and spice, it adds a strong melases and bite to a lime squeeze or cola.

I personally find the Kraken to sharp for sipping. Especially when the rum is already through the throat

very dark. kinda thick. strong but is higher proofed. great mixer. tons of flavor.

As opposed to the great looking bottle and the nice presentation, the rum itself tastes quite chemical...

It is a cheap shot when you're out on the town, recommendable if you like me can't stand tequila. Very perfumed and sweet, but it doesn't matter when you're drunk.

Very unique spiced rum that takes some getting use to. Strong start with a peppery finish. I was disappointed and I will not add it to my bar

Don't judge a book by its cover the great outside has disappointment on the inside.

Couldn't even finish it. Maybe spiced rum isn't for me.

A big plus for the bottle design.
I think Kraken has a little more power in taste/spice the Capten Morgan Spiced Gold

Quality wise this comes close to that of your average captain Morgan's. Almost too sweet to mix with cola and way to artificial to ever drink straight up.

Kraken is a combo of rum with different spices. ..i noticed vanilla, cinnamon, prune, some Woods and maybe even pepper. Interesting to sip but with a raw piraty alcoholic burn to it.

Perfekt cocktail rum

I tried the Kraken, but could not get excited about it. I'm not a big fan of spiced/added flavor rums to begin with, and the Kraken did little to change my mind.

Un gran especiado

Uninspiring synthetic "spiced" rum

Drink only with cola.

I tried this one for the first time at the 2011 UK Rumfest and i was somehow expecting more so i was a little bit disappointed but they mixed such tasty rum punches with it so that took some of the disappointment away. Anyway, it´s an ok mixer as i see it.

Bit of a bite but generally smooth.

Mixer rom, købt som forsøg

Kraken is in my point of view only suitable as a mixer and is in the Captain Morgan ballpark.

Better than captain Morgan. But that goes for nearly every rum on the market. Pour this beast into your tea or a cup of coke. Meanwhile hide it somewhere so nobody can reveal your bad taste.
