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.

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.
