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.

Also I'm really not delighted on spiced rums, this one is really nice. Not overspiced.
Not bad spicy rums. Not my style but not bad with food.
Kraken spiced rum good for mixer specially coke and lemon-lime juice based cocktails. Nothing too exciting taste wise, but must admit I still make good use of the Krak-ing amazing bottle. Score 5/10
My go to rum, good tasting, easy to drink, nicely spiced but not too strong
Kezdő vagyok a rumok világában, sőtt a tömény szeszek kóstolásában is.
Nekem az illat nagyon finom édes süteményes, vaníliás,fűszeres. A korty után is megmarad az édes fűszeres érzés, viszont a lencsengése na az "ütős" és elég sokáig tart.
Nekem tetszett. Mindenképpen megéri megkóstolni.
Besides cool looking bootle, this doesn't have anything to offer. Not worth trying, but good with coke or in cocktails
Well balanced and enjoyable. Reasonably priced (20 Euro). Will buy again
I had a blind rum tasting at home with about 20 people and this rum won hands down. Don't know why it's to sweet and and dark. It even beat out zapata 23.
Doesn't make but buy it for parties it will work
I think this is fine for a spiced rum, but there are a ton of rums I would drink before this, unfortunately. I've only had it neat and on the rocks, and the vanilla notes become just a little overbearing, in the way that synthetic vanilla often does.
I think that's a shame, because aesthetically it's great, and that shouldn't be undervalued, but unfortunately the taste falls just short.

This was a revelation!
I’ve found most spiced rums are really only spiced with vanilla; and though I love rum, I haven’t really got a sweet-tooth. I started steering clear of the spiced.
But the beautiful Kraken bottle caught my eye, and I thought my mother would like to have it when I’ve put the contents away (anything I can do to get approval for a drink, I’ll do!) (not that I really need it).
It’s unlike other “spiced” rums. It really is spicy! Whatever they’re putting in it, they know what they’re doing — it’s just beautiful!
Too good to mix (unless you know it well and prefer it and like a cocktail), I’m actually thinking of making Air-mails with it soon; but you don’t want to overwhelm it — you’ll miss out on the fine flavour of this, the best spiced rum I’ve ever had!
