Originating from Trinidad and Tobago, this spiced rum is crafted through pot still distillation and blended with its signature spice combination. Bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof), it delivers exceptional flavour intensity and represents outstanding value for home bartenders and rum enthusiasts seeking a bolder mixing spirit.

Nose: Assertive vanilla leads the way, accompanied by warming baking spices and subtle caramel sweetness that hints at the bold character to come.

Palate: Rich vanilla dominates the mid-palate, supported by cinnamon, ginger, and dark sugar notes. The higher proof carries the spice blend with impressive clarity and weight, creating a full-bodied texture that holds up beautifully in mixed drinks.

Finish: Warming and persistent, with lingering spice and sweet vanilla notes that develop gradually across the palate.

The elevated alcohol content makes Kraken Black Spiced Rum particularly effective in cocktails where you want the rum character to shine through mixers and other ingredients. Pour it neat or over ice to appreciate the spice complexity, or deploy it in classic rum cocktails like Dark and Stormys, Mai Tais, or spiced rum and cola serves where it adds depth and character.

This bottle suits home bartenders who want a versatile mixing rum that delivers flavour punch, as well as spiced rum fans who appreciate a bolder, more assertive style. The distinctive opaque black colour—achieved through caramel colouring that represents the mythical sea monster’s ink—makes every serve visually striking.

A compelling choice for anyone building a home bar with character-driven spirits that work hard across multiple cocktail styles.
