World Rum Guide Review
The Kraken Black Spiced Rum offers the typically aromatic character of a spiced rum, with fragrant vanilla, coffee and cinnamon. To taste it is rich and sweet, with molasses, chocolate, clove and cinnamon, before a lingering finish of coffee, vanilla and pepper notes. The Kraken Rum is an accessible and impressively presented rum that mixes well and has mass market appeal. - Paul Jackson, 2018
