Description
The nose starts with spiced tropical fruits, vanilla, and coconut scents. The palate introduces subtle hints of caramel and carries a fine balance of molasses, toffee, orange peel with a warm spice finish.
Kraken is imported black rum from the Caribbean and blended with over 11 secret spices. The rum takes its name from the mythical sea beast which is said to have wreaked havoc with tall ships and rum running vessels throughout history. Kraken Black Spiced Rum is distilled in pot stills on the Virgin Islands and fermented from naturally sweet molasses made from sugarcane grown on nearby riverbanks. Natural yeasts are used to ferment the water thinned molasses, which is converted directly into alcohol. Kraken Rum is then aged in oak barrels between 12 and 24 months before being blended with the secret spices.
While the smooth taste of the Kraken lends itself to be enjoyed as sipping rum, it can also be enjoyed as a key ingredient in traditional cocktails. Mix with cola or ginger ale, or for a cocktail with a twist, try Peach Schnapps and pineapple juice.
The rich black colour takes its hue form the mysterious ink that, as legend has, the Kraken covered its prey with during fierce battles at sea. It’s beautifully presented in a classic shaped bottle with two handles, a replica of a Victorian Rum bottles of old.
