Kraken Black Spiced

Good run for mixed drinks. It is a nice-looking bottle.

And a little bit better than a Captain Morgan Black.

Smell: Strong vanilla mixed with caramel and brown sugar, green grass, black pepper, candy liquor, some slight coffee notes, slight ripe bananas. Overall decent, interesting but you can tell that it is not a "genuine" rum smell in a way –it is somewhat artificial even if they tried to balance it well (it worked to some extend).

Taste: Medium sweet brown sugar, caramel and vanilla stand out and dominate, there are some other spices – black pepper definitely and some dark tea notes. Some harshness appears in the aftertaste (even burn) from the alcohol. Could be a good mixer with cola and it is doable as a sipper at most.

For around 22€ - discounted in the supermarket it is def worth a try - 5.5.

Deze rum is totaal niet te vergelijken met andere rumsoorten. Ik vind hem waterig met een smaakje, weinig afdronk. Voor mij een no go, misschien voor anderen wel. Wellicht dat het een goed is om mee te mixen?

As much hype as Kraken gets, as far as Spiced Rums go, it's simply one dimensional and boring. The spices seem flat and the the overall flavour of the rum is simplistic. There are far better spiced rums on the market at the same price point which rank far higher in my opinion.

Has notes of spices and sweetness, all of which is overpowered by its harshness. You're better off buying Captain Morgan Black Spiced.

I don't do reviews....Just want to keep up with my drinking problem....

Best taste with ice cubes helps that chocolate flavor

Something different for a cochtail.
Not really okay for drinking neat.
