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.

Kraken is a fairly polite sipper for me. The sweet vanilla and caramel taste is pretty much what I look for when I want to sip some rum. I do like a bit more attitude from my rums usually though. There isn't a harsh bite on the finish at all. I found it to be a very polite and smooth rum for sipping. There isn't a lot of depth to the flavor but a dash of water helps to bring out what there is. No bold spices to speak of. It's pretty smooth honestly. Not much burn at all. There are rums I like better, but I do like Kraken quite a bit.

So the title says it all, i've got to respect the kraken or face defeat!! Seriously, this takes you away from mixers and allows you you take the rumexperience to the more mature level

Not so good, okey mixer but nothing more. Buy something else.

I know some rum drinkers that even like this one. Perfect for hot weather.

This rum tastes much like alcohol. Anyway, its the right choice with a coke. My rating is 4 + 1 for design.

A strong dark rum, not suited to most.
As with all rums I don't mix.
Therefore I believe this is best served as a winter drink and is certainly good when your feeling run down.Certainly worthy of the name 'KRAKEN'

Read a lot of reviews that absolutely rave about Kraken so I decided to give it a go, Sainsbury's £20, reduced from £23.
Love the colour and the nose is certainly different, but I'm not convinced about the taste. It's not the smoothest, but certainly not harsh, a glowing burn and strong aftertaste.
Tried it neat first, ok, but not really a sipper in my opinion.
Adding 1 ice cube definitely smoothed it out for sipping.
Added coke and was surprised, it makes a great rum and coke.
Not really convinced it will become a fixture in my cabinet, but time might change my mind, along with more tastings.
Cheers graham.
Well I have finished the bottle and I'm sorry to say that I won't be going out for a re fill. I just don't enjoy this rum and quite frankly can't see why it's so highly rated by so many people.
But hey, each to his/her own tastes.
Sadly it's not for me.
Graham.
