A fine spiced drinking rum. Really nice tasting rum, possible to drink neat, but I like to add coke.
You can drink it straight; on the rocks; with a mixer; in your bathing suit; or with nothing at all!
Chocolate sweetness, molasses and vanilla mingle with spices commonly associated with Rum; clove, cinnamon, ginger and galangal.

The Bottom Line. The Kraken has a great bottle, the liquid looks cool and mysterious, and it adds a potent alcoholic punch to a cocktail. Alas, it doesn't have much else going for it.
Be bold - try it straight!
