Trinidad and Tobago | Spiced | 40% ABV | Column Still (1-4)
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.

Dark color with good aroma. Flavor gets lost to me with coke, but adds a sweetness.

The contents is not that all Kraked up to be.
I know the marketing wheels have been spinning like lightning with this product and I've got the 40% abv version. The packaging is great, love the bottle. Great colour, almost black in the bottle but more dark reddish in the glass. Aroma is pretty safe, mostly vanilla and some background spice. Taste very much similar as the nose but there is an underlying bitterness that lingers well into the finish
There is something missing and to me it's actually the rummy element if that's a word. Whatever base rum is used its well hidden with whatever they have put into this concoction.
Perhaps the 47% abv version is able to carry the flavours a bit better but I won't be going out of my way to get one any time soon.
Its a very smooth tasty spiced rum...full flavor, but a bit too sweet. Its fun to shoot with a group, but the headache the day after is heavy and harsh. Enjoy it as a mixer and best not to overdo it.

I am not a huge fan of spiced rums, I prefer aged rums but I heard so many good things about this one that I had to try it. Kraken is by far my favorite spiced rum. Not to sweet and not to strong of a finish even though it's 94 proof. A hint of licorice. Worth a go.
I enjoy this rum when mixing a hot buttered rum, otherwise it stays at the back of my liquor cabinet unless someone requests it.

Don't know how to feel about this rum. Drinking it straight up is both fantastic and way too much. It's sooo much vanilla and sweetness in there. The first few sips were amazing but after that the artifical vanilla flavour bacame too much. Great rum to mix with coke and you don't need to mix a lot of kraken in there either.
