Kraken Black Spiced

Great all round rum. Mixes nice with cola.
Even better with ginger beer 😜

A dark liquid that mimics the color of an octopus, with a strange sweet aftertaste that plays to be rum. In addition, I bought a one-liter bottle because it was priced at a 0.7-liter bottle. I never want to taste this again.

Tmavá tekutina napodobující barvivo chobotnice, s podivnou nasládlou pachutí hrající si na rum. A to jsem vzal litr, protože byl za cenu sedmičky. To už raději lacinou whisky než tohle...

In general I'm not a "fan" of spiced rums, but I wanted to give it a try:

color: nut-brown
smell and taste: complex, a lot of flavors are present: caramel, vanilla, ginger, clove and many more..with a hint of coffee at the end. Finish: long, vividly spicy

Ok, if spiced, this is probably the first what you have in mind. It's classic and it's not bad, but fame isn't everything.

Tasty and smooth, this is one of my regulars, that I keep on hand

Soft and tasteful. The taste of cinnamon and ginger is very lovely.

Lihově ostré, uměle převanilkované, divně překořeněné, sladší a HOŘKÉ !!!
Nechápu tu popularitu.
Hnus.

For me at least, this has been a solid mixer for many years. Since taking an interest in rum more recently, I have spent much more on spiced rums that don't go so well in a mixed drink as this. It has a relatively generic flavour relying on vanilla, so you wont feel miles away from a Captain Morgans spiced for example, but it is richer.

I thought this was different to most spiced rums I've had. One of my top spiced for sure

I don't know how they can label it as a "dark spiced rum"; in actuality, it is just a spiced rum that has a dark colour. It isn't good to drink neat but is quite fresh with coke, lime and lots of ice. For the same price, you could buy Chairman's Reserve which is a vastly superior spiced rum.
