Kraken Black Spiced

Good flavor, unique in color and taste, good value.

The best of both worlds, Kraken offers a complex mix of spices with a minty finish. I love the flavour, but it always makes a little war in my stomach so I can't drink too much of it. The legs are thin and color dark, but probably not from aging. For how fancy the bottle is , I expected more.,..but it still makes a nice alternative to CM black spiced for a mixer.

When I first tried Kraken, I wasn't overly impressed. It isn't bad straight, rather spicy with a touch of vanilla, but not that smooth. Mixed with Coke it tasted rather flat and tannic. When I came to try it again with pepsi, the vanilla and spice flavours came out more and it grew on me. Particularly good in a dark n stormy.

The biggest disappointment with Kraken is that it is sold as a dark/black rum, but it is very light on caramel/molasses and is very thin bodied, thus it is not a true dark rum, once you see past that you will certainly enjoy this one.

Un rhum très fort en goût caramel, une couleur brune très foncé, un rhum parfait coupé avec un trait de citron

i like the nice dark color but to spicy for my taste good with ginger ale

It's a surprisingly smooth rum with a depth of flavour ..

This black spiced rum is not expensive and quite good for the rums you can find at this price. Try it and enjoy! :-)

A great black spiced rum - sweet with vanilla flavour however not as sweet as Captain Morgan Black Spiced, for example. At first a little bit acute, after a few sips it melts оn the palate with its vanilla-caramel savour. It would be a great rum for the ski slopes since its spiced and therefore sweet :)

This is ok but for the price you can do a lot better, lacked complexity for the price point
