Kraken Black Spiced Rum is a Caribbean spiced rum first introduced in 2010. Produced by Proximo Spirits, it is distilled from molasses in Trinidad and Tobago, aged for about 1-2 years, and infused with a secret blend of 11 spices. Its deep black colour (aided by caramel colouring) and its high proof make it a standout in the spiced rum category.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Opaque, black as ink, with hints of deep brown when held to the light.
-
Aroma: Rich caramel and burnt sugar, vanilla, dark chocolate notes, with underlying spice — cinnamon, clove, maybe ginger.
-
Palate: Bold entry: caramel and vanilla up front, then a wave of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and dark sugar. Slight bitter edge from roast/dark elements (burnt caramel/coffee) balanced by sweetness.
-
Finish: Long, warming, lingering spicy heat. Notes of charred wood or dark chocolate carry through. Slightly drying but rich.
-
ABV: 47% (94 proof)
Serving Suggestions:
- Very good in hot or spicy cocktails: try with ginger beer and lime, or in a rum old-fashioned.
- Mixes well with cola for a classic rum & coke twist.
- Enjoy on the rocks to let the spices open up.
- Great paired with dark chocolate desserts, smoked meats, or grilled fruit.
