Kraken Black Spiced

Save the money and buy a better spiced alternative. This was hard to swallow. Get the travel size and see for yourself.

Definitely a divisive rum, but I bought it for mixing specifically and I like it for that. The spices aren’t nuanced, and I get mostly a strong caramel flavor. For a Hurricane I mix equal parts lemon juice, passion fruit sirup, Jamaican rum, and the spiced Kraken, and it adds a nice caramel flavor that easily cuts through everything. I wouldn’t only make it with Kraken, as then it’d be overpowering, but in this combination I quite enjoy it. If you want to drink a spiced rum neat I‘d look elsewhere, but it is exactly what I wanted and expected.

Mistura de sabores e picancia na medida certa, aroma espetacular e muito bom para se consumir

Non vedevo l'ora di assaggiarlo in quanto mi era stato consigliato da diverse persone. Una volta bevuto il primo sorso ho dovuto abdicare, molto speziato e non rispetta quello che mi sarei aspettato.

This one is a bit unferwhelming...at first it promises big notes of chocolate coffe and vanilla but it falls off a cliff. The nose is much better than the actual taste. Skippable experience.

Just a plain quick rum. Alcohol burner to tone down with some soda or juice. Cheap Bacardi style rum.

My first spiced rum and it converted me to rum lover.

Kraken is very popular these days and it is a very cool spiced rum, with noticeable chocolatey sweetness. It is definitely not an extraordinary rum for tasting though. More like having a chillaxed evening with friends or family.

I've got an emotional attachment to this rum and at it's core I think it has it's place in the market. But it certainly relies pretty heavily on the strong branding. I find that it runs incredibly smooth when used in a Rum and Coke however I never reach out for the Kraken when I want to drink something neat/on rocks.

Mixed this with root beer and really enjoyed it. Feeling it now
