Kraken Black Spiced Rumis an excellent spiced rum, with utterly brilliant packaging! This was launched in the UK in early 2010, and it has an extraordinarily rich, spicy flavour. Named for the legendary sea monster, Kraken is a blend of Caribbean rums that should certainly suit any fans of rich, navy-style rum. Nose: Spicy and rich with notes of vanilla and toffee apples. Hints of lime and cinnamon too. Palate: Dark, rich palate. Thick with molasses and tar, and a barrage of cinnamon, golden syrup, nutmeg and charred oak. Finish: Long, very spicy finish.
