Kraken Black Spiced RumOrder this Rum for 24-Hour Delivery

The Kraken is a black spiced rum made with Caribbean rum from Trinidad and Tobago, blended with spices including cinnamon, ginger and clove. The bottle — shaped like an old ship's flagon with two handles at the neck — is part of the identity, as is the sea-monster label the brand takes its name from.

It is a much darker and heavier spiced rum than the mainstream alternatives. Molasses leads, the cinnamon and clove are pronounced, the ginger gives it a bite, and there is a dark caramel weight through the finish. Where a typical spiced rum reads as vanilla-sweet, this reads as spiced and rich.

That strength of flavour makes it the best choice in this category for a dark-and-stormy: ginger beer and lime against this rum is a proper drink rather than a soft one. Cola works too, and it stands up in punch without being lost.

If you find standard spiced rum too sweet and too polite, this is the alternative. 247BOOZE delivers The Kraken 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across our active service areas.
