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.

A heavier rum, best as an after dinner sweet drink.

Ochutnal som, ale nebaví ma. Jagermeister s tuzemakom pomiešame a peknú fľašku dáme. Hotovo

It's fairly smooth for being a spiced rum. A little sweeter and tastier than Captain Morgan or Sailor Jerry and higher proofed than both. I left my spiced rum phase a while ago but I would still drink this at a party no problem.

Picked this one up based on a friend's suggestion. Vanilla nose that gets better when I tasted it. The spices come forward but it doesn't completely overpower the Vanilla. Works well in mixed drinks too.
Particolare sopratutto la bottiglia. Devo riordinarlo per meglio coglierne le sfumature
Great all round rum. Mixes nice with cola.
Even better with ginger beer 😜

A dark liquid that mimics the color of an octopus, with a strange sweet aftertaste that plays to be rum. In addition, I bought a one-liter bottle because it was priced at a 0.7-liter bottle. I never want to taste this again.
Tmavá tekutina napodobující barvivo chobotnice, s podivnou nasládlou pachutí hrající si na rum. A to jsem vzal litr, protože byl za cenu sedmičky. To už raději lacinou whisky než tohle...
In general I'm not a "fan" of spiced rums, but I wanted to give it a try:
color: nut-brown
smell and taste: complex, a lot of flavors are present: caramel, vanilla, ginger, clove and many more..with a hint of coffee at the end. Finish: long, vividly spicy

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.
