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.

For a spiced rum, it taste good. Not a quality dark (aged) rum, but quality spiced rum. You should really try it.

You can find Kraken just about any where I go, and for the price ($15-18 for a 750ml) you can't go wrong. It has a heavier taste than is complimented by a strong, delightful finish. Good mixer and not too shabby on the good ol' rocks. Good to have around in the liquor shelf. 7/10

Pour accompagner vos soirées entre amis. Épicé et caramélisé, assez doux, je n'hésiterai pas à lever mon vers

They advertise a lot of hype around their product and it is definitely something out of the depths. Picked up a few sample bottles, as spiced rums are typically not my choice but I wanted to give it a try. Chilled one and attempted it neat. Sorry, this ain't a sipper! Too dark and too much burn and astringency. The flavor of cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and anise were on point. Just the nose on this had the alcohol wafting from it. The remainder was added to cola and was an average drink. A bit spicier than Sailor Jerry. The second sample was used to make a Dark & Stormy. I am a wicked fan of ginger and have fallen in love with the sharp flavor a and the heat of ginger beer. This being the quintessential drink, I had to try. It was brilliant! The spice of the rum and that of the ginger beer were made for each other. Reminds me of a spicy mojito, catches in the back of your throat and tingles. Is this your everyday rum? Not mine, but I can see it finding a place on the shelf for making a rare drink here or there. And I do love that limited ceramic bottle....

I must admit, i'm a sucket for nice bottles, nice design and a good story. The website, the story, everything about the kraken is very cool. The whole marketing is well done. 9/10

The taste, well it's not aged, it's commercial and it's spiced, so it tastes exactly as you would think it would taste. Not a top rum, but i wasn't expecting that either. 6/10. Still a good 7/10 overall as i value taste more then looks

I bought the 750 of kraken because they had a special ceramic bottle. I needed a new rum to use as a mixer so figured, why not. I am Sadly disappointed with the flavor. It might just be that I am not fond of Spiced rums anymore but this just seemed to have a bitterness no matter what I mixed with. I think I will search out a different rum for future mixing.

Cool bottle, cooler rum. Great with ginger or cola. Also good straight up. One of the better inexpensive darks.
