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 βsecretβ 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.

Its a good recipe rum, and by that I mean holiday egg nog etc, but I wont do it as a sipping rum with my cigar.
A good drink
Flavour are all there and could be a little less sweet but a very nice drink
Good rum, enjoy it with a coke or can sip neat over ice
Great bottle, dark color is menacing. Strong menthol/medicinal taste. I actually enjoy sipping it. But it goes very well with Ginger beer and lime.
Enjoyed with coke mainly. Prefer the flavour to many other dark rums.
Well presented bottle and story. Definitely one I put near the front to show off. Always lots of interest in the Kraken!

Smoothness of this rum is unbelievable. Many reasons to drink it. Sipping is the best way to enjoy it.

Great packaging and branding, it's a rum I want to love, but I don't find the spice flavour works for me, it has a slightly chemical taste to it that I can't put my finger on. I like it fine as a mixer but not really enjoying it as much as a straight drink.

This rum is meant for mixing and not to be sipped. Good for a rum and cola.

If this was a blackstrap rum, I would give it an 8, because it is very unique, has a beautiful color, and taste awesome. If you want a different type of dark and stormy, use Kraken and a not too gingery ginger beer. You don't want to overdo it with too much ginger and spices.
As a spiced rum, I give it a 6 for an overall score of 7. Spiced rum drinkers may add it to their collection for diversity for a small fee of $20, but at the end of the day it's a lightweight in comparison to other spiced rums. I don't actually taste 11 spices, but they well may be there. To some degree, it's like your amateur bartender's "Long Island Iced Tea"; you only taste 2 of the 11 ingredients he claims to have used and you're a little disappointed because you feel jipped (i.e. cheated, bamboozled, conned), but once it's said and done, that drink hit the spot.
