Kraken Black Spiced Rum 2yr 47%

Sweet, spiced, great for mixing drinks.

The Black Spiced Rum is rich in vanilla and caramel flavors, with a firm spiciness, making it great for mixing but possibly too sweet and artificial for purists.



How does this rum taste?

  • Great for cocktails
  • Rich vanilla notes
  • Distinctive branding

Black Spiced Rum from Trinidad, bottled by Kraken, is a bold and flavorful rum noted for its rich vanilla, caramel, and spice notes. At 47% ABV and aged for 2 years, it offers a complex yet approachable profile that appeals to beginners and mixologists alike. While its sweet, spiced character is well-suited for cocktails, it can be overpowering for purists seeking a traditional rum experience. Many users appreciate its versatility in mixing with cola or cocktails, but opinions are divided on its intense sweetness and perceived artificial enhancements. This spiced rum stands out with its distinctive branding, though its sugary intensity may not suit all palates.

"This is a nice spiced rum and should be judged accordingly. Very nice and warming with a lot of spices and chocolate. Can be enjoyed pure, on the rocks and in a mixer. I have started using this when baking chocolate cake and it's very good for that as well. "

"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)."

"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."
