Kraken Black Spiced

Lekker kruidig. Zowel puur als met cola heel lekker

Dark, sweet toffe rum. Good on the rocks or in mixed drinks. Nice bottle.

As with most spiced offerings, I find that the vanilla overpowers nearly every other spice in the glass, and even at that, it is very heavy-handed with the vanilla.
The packaging and marketing is brilliant, they really nail the old-timey feel, harkening back to the golden age of piracy and sailing ships with the stark black bottle art and the rings on the neck.
The taste is very basic on the tongue, serviceable, but there is little to savor and enjoy here. Tiny hints of clove and allspice surface here and there between waves of vanilla and alcohol, but you have to hunt for them. This is not the complex rum you sip in an armchair in front of a fire.
It works as a mixer, but again, be aware that vanilla will be a component in whatever cocktail you make with this.
Since I prefer all rum straight, I recommend dropping an ice cube in the glass, it benefits from a slight chill and a little water. If you just want a spiced rum that isn't bad but isn't amazing, grab some Kraken.

I have had this on Strait & on the rocks... either way it's good

Its in my stock as the first bottle i got for my collection i just started. Im new to this app, and i just wanna add my collection to the app for now. Alter om when ive had a taste, ill judge it. Hope its ok :)

This has a lot of character, molasses but not sweet.

The details of the bottle, the look just fits perfectly to the content. Nice little sweet and flavorful rum.

If you want a rum and Coke get this, that's all it's good for. Actually I been putting it in warm Apple cider, don't knock it till you try it..

A good choice in the price range 20-25€, if you like the spiced, rather artificial black (caramel), but sweet and pleasant. I'd like to taste it with a strong cigar.

Ho comprato questo rum al duty free di Miami, tentato dal prezzo di 18$ per 1 litro e dalla bottiglia bellissima..
Arrivato a casa l' ho assaggiato..potente, morbido e gustoso..niente a che vedere con Zacapa o Matusalem.. Lo consiglio a tutti gli amanti dei rum..spettacolare per il colore nero, bellissimo !!
