Kraken Black Spiced Rum

Too sweet for me!

In der Nase recht süß mit einer schönen Vanillenote, leicht Karamell, schon fast likörartig. Auch am Gaumen setzt sich der süße Eindruck fort, aber noch im angenehmen Rahmen, auch hier Vanille, Karamell, Kaffee, Schokolade, angenehme Schärfe ohne sprittig zu wirken mit einer schönen Würze, ein Hauch Lakritze?, relativ weich, leicht ölig. Muss man auf jeden Fall öfters trinken um die verschiedenen Gewürze rauszuschmecken. Fazit: guter Spiced Rum in ausgefallener Optik, sollte man auf jeden Fall mal probieren.

Rum for after dinner with friends. Too spicy and sweet for my taste. Not suitable for tasting at a certain level. These very sweet rums got me hooked on these spirits and therefore I find it difficult to give it a bad rating because in the end everyone has their own preferences. That being said, unfortunately, I do not consider it a good rum and I liken it to Elixirs such as Arecha or Cubaney (which are not real rums).

For some reason Kraken is my favorite rum. I dont that i can find a better one (more suitable for my taste) in this price range. It has an amazing bottle/package. The color matches the bottle (ink of Kraken). The taste is spicy with strong vanilla kick. The aftertaste stays the same and does not last long - but its not imminently gone. Good one to be mixed with other drinks. I prefer this one really cold as it gives roundness to the taste.

I used to like it as a mixer, but now it's just an emergency anchor for visitors. Edit: I now offer visitors better things. Will probably end up as a baking ingredient somewhere. Unfortunately, it can't be used for anything else.

Easy to drink

A sweet vanilla bomb with other spices in the background of the vanilla. But it tastes less chemical than other popular spiced rums, so it's actually quite ok. Can be used for mixing if you take the sweetness into account.

Definitely very smooth and warm with a very nice aftertaste

Only with cola

This is nice rum infused with spices. Strong vanilla and caramel flavors, easy to get it.

spiced rum just :D nothing special but at least here you know what you're getting and there are significantly worse ones. For dark & stormy it's definitely fine! 😃

Licht zoet, Vol en rijp van smaak.

Spiced rum, but clearly too much of the sticky variety. Not my cup of tea.

Pas trop de souvenirs mais très bon

It’s not the worst spiced rum. At least it is not overwhelmed by a single spice/ flavour. I think it’s fair to rate this as an average rum given it is ubiquitous and effectively ’the standard’ for most people.
