Kraken Black Spiced rum

Kraken Black Spiced

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.

As a traditionalist, I don't do spiced rums, but this one is the exception. Kraken is good enough to sip with a few rocks -- the spice doesn't overwhelm the "rum" and blends nicely with the senses. Not a bad starter rum for non-rum drinkers.

Not a huge fan of any spiced rums, they are usually over the top in flavor profile as they're meant to be mixed. Kraken is too strong and forward in spiciness, and that makes it great in some drinks. It's the perfect spiced rum for a dark and stormy which is only reason I have it. The bottle is very cool and no doubt that's why many people are first attracted to it.

I think, Kraken is best rum in price-quality ratio. It tastes little sweater with slight pepper tones. I know that rum is not recommended to drink cooled, but this one's taste is very interesting when it's temperature is slightly lowered

We met during summer, with friend on cottage and after tourism, was this rum great alternative to taste something new. We smelled there piece of caramel, which was a little spiced with cinnamon and vanilla.

Not my thing personally, but can definitely see why people like it so much, very overpowering flavour of caramel, makes for some very unique mixes.

Was hyped up about this by friends but it turned out just ok. Decent spice, too sweet, something tastes a bit off.

The spice level in this rum is too high. The taste is pretty awful. If I receive a bottle as a present I keep it around to offer to my guests that don’t know better. Save your money.

Sweet rum which is not bad. Nothing great either but has nice memory.

This stuff is decent. As far as spiced rum goes I'd go with Kraken over Captain Morgan. Kraken is sweet but a little too sweet to enjoy neat. No real complexity other than sweet and spiced. The stuff is more on the thick end. Rum and cokes would be splendid with this one or perhaps a dark n stormy if you're into those.
