Tasting note

Imported black rum from the Caribbean is blended with more than 13 secret spices to create this mythical beast of a spiced rum. Intense molasses, spice and brown sugar aromas on the nose and rich coffee, chocolate, vanilla bean, spice, molasses and clove flavours on the palate make this ideal in mixed drinks.

The Kraken is imported black rum from the Caribbean blended with 11 spices which vanilla, cinnamon, lime and clove. Named for a Sea Beast of myth and legend.

Like the Kraken’s ink, the Kraken rum is black and powerful. Unlike the Kraken’s ink; however, the rum is distilled in pot stills on the Virgin Islands and fermented from naturally sweet molasses made from sugar cane grown on nearby riverbanks. Natural yeasts are used to ferment the water-thinned molasses, which is converted directly into alcohol. The rum is distilled to 97.5% alcohol. Kraken rum is then aged in oak barrels for between 12 and 24 months before being blended with a range of spices including cinnamon, ginger and clove.
