Daimiir,
Very good. Tastes great straight and makes an amazing dark and stormy
Daimiir,
Sweeter than I expected in a good way. The spice is very persistent and is a welcome addition.
Anthony,
My favorite strong dark rum, at around 90 proof it packs a punch, and is great in coke for the summer
Clayton,
This is most definitely an adventurous rum. It has dark, bold, spicy notes with some very strong banana and nut flavors mingled in. Not your average spiced rum.
Daniel,
Flavour is nice. A very spiced rum which works good in drinks, however, its use is fairly limited.
Ryan,
Dark, heavy flavors and richly spiced. I bought it for dark and stormys but it's almost too heavily for that. I think it could be fantastic in the right cocktail. Sipping strait is good too.
George,
One of my favorite mixing rums. Great in coke. Freezing cold shots too!!
Joshua,
a fine, middle-of-the-road rum; a decent sipper, perhaps better for mixed drinks
Jennifer,
Rich spiced flavor...belittle too much for me to drink straight...but love it in mixed drinks
Joseph,
Great for sipping on its own after dinner. Very heavy on the vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. Light banana funk. Too heavy to mix in most cocktails for my liking, but that doesn’t usually stop me from doing so. Ha!
guest,
I really like this spiced rum. For me, the flavors that come through are both bold a d subtle, yet never being overpowering.
If you enjoy spiced rums, Kraken is a winner.
Christian,
If you want something to add a kick to your cocktail without overpowering the flavor, but have outgrown the Captain, this is a great way to do it. If youre looking for a rum to sip and appreciate for its own flavor, look for a Kaniche XO.
Jeff,
Very sweet on the rocks. Would pair nicely with an Oliva serie V Melanio cigar.
Nathan,
Arrr! A good, strong dark spiced rum. Great for any cocktails wanting a powerful spirit, or just sipping from a glass (or pirate flask) while you relax. But not too relaxed! The spices are invigorating, and after the initial blast of sweet and spice is over, a lingering flavor of vanilla caramel makes sure you go back for more... So hoist the colors and stay for a drink or three!
Regan,
Great for mixing or drinking straight. Smooth and easy to drink. We usually have a bottle in our cabinet.
Jason,
this is my favorite “less expensive” rum (under 30$) great for mixing. I always add a little lime when mixing, really amps up the flavor. There is always a bottle in my cabinet.
Daniel,
Great spice and bite, yet smooth. Great warming sensation. Perfect alone and a perfect mixer.
Phillip,
Got this one in the tasting box, so comparing it against the others - we really enjoyed it. Not as strong as other rums, but really easy to drink straight - will be buying a bottle.
Kathryn,
Average rum. Fun labeling but I found it to be mild in flavor and not as assertive as I expect from a spiced rum. Not a bad drink but not sure that I would buy it again.
Alexandra,
Black and spicy. Tastes like the blackened souls of lost sea dogs.
Cale,
Very good for the price, hints of coffee, caramel and clove. Very smooth and subtle burn that can hold it's own neatly or on the rocks. Delicious with Dr. Pepper or a hit of sweet tea.
Michael,
Initial hints of chocolate and coffee with the tast of vanilla and cloves dominanting the front of the palate followed with teases of coffee a finishing touch of pepper and cinnamon as a very exquisite over all drink. Not a bad rum.
Scott,
It has been a bit since I tasted Kraken. I enjoyed it more than I thought. Nice flavor profile.
Harrison,
Strong vanilla spice here that is as pleasant on the nostrils as it is the palate. If you usually drink a spiced rum in cocktails, substitute this with any of them and you won't be disappointed.
Jason,
If you like Spiced Rum, this one is pretty damn good. Its not bourbon, but its still pretty damn good.
Kevin,
I like it. I know a lotta' rum snobs turn up their nose, but for the rest of us there's always something interesting and exciting about Kraken. It's great on its own or in a mixed drink. It's bold and strong.
guest,
It’s Very strong and you can taste the spices and hits you really well after a few shots I recommend mixing with cola or Pepsi and if straight of course on rocks
Owen,
If your looking for something to sip on straight but don’t want to break the bank I’d go here. If it’s a little strong for you splash some of your favorite cola in there and your good to go
Stephen,
I typically don't care for spiced rums, but since I first drank Kraken we have started keeping it stock at home. Our favorite way to drink it is mixed in Dr. Pepper (we call it a Dr. Kraken), or just the rum with an ice ball.
Michael,
not much of a spiced rum fan, but this is pretty good. I will drink this again
Catherine,
This is truly a spiced rum. It has great notes of vanilla, clove, cinnamon, allspice, and many others. It is great with ginger beer for a deal stormy or for a rum cake!
Kelly,
It's rum. Mostly I use it for mixing and there hasn't been anything I've mixed it with that it's clashed with. That said, it's not something I'd drink by itself. I tried it that way and ... maybe it works for some people like that. It didn't work for me.
