Kraken Black Spiced Rum 750ml

Kraken Black Spiced Rum introduced to the UK in Spring 2010, Kraken’s old-style bottle and superlative packaging seem to earmark it out for greatness, and perhaps it will help some of those many thousands of punters nursing an old-recipe-Sailor-Jerry-sized hole in their hearts.

Imported black rum from the Caribbean is blended with more than 13 secret spices to create this mythical beast of a spiced rum. Intense molasses, spice, and brown sugar aromas on the nose and rich coffee, chocolate, vanilla bean, spice, molasses, and clove flavors on the palate make this ideal in mixed drinks.

An excellent spiced rum, with utterly brilliant packaging! This was launched in the UK in early 2010, and it has an extraordinarily rich, spicy flavor. Named for the legendary sea monster, Kraken is a blend of Caribbean rums that should certainly suit any fans of rich, navy-style rum.

Rum from the Caribbean blended with over 11 secret spices. The rum takes its name from the mythical sea beast which is said to have wreaked havoc with tall ships and rum-running vessels throughout history. Smooth with natural and spiced flavors. Drink neat or with cola.

The Kraken is an imported rum from the Caribbean blended with secret spices.

Named for the sea beast of myth and legend, The Kraken is bold, rich, black, and smooth.

The largest shipment of Caribbean black spiced rum was said to be brought down by the Kraken. The rum was named in its honor, as it was as dark and mysterious as the beast’s ink.

The Kraken is housed in a replica of a Victorian flagon, which allowed the bottle to be hung up on board ships so it would not roll around and come to harm.

Spicy and rich with notes of vanilla and toffee apples. Hints of lime and cinnamon too.

Palate:
