The Kraken is made from a blend of light, molasses-based rums produced in Trinidad and Tobago. The Kraken is infused with 11 different herbs and spices. The rum is 40% ABV and the higher alcohol concentration means that less water is added to reduce it to its bottling proof - this results in more of its natural flavours remaining intact.

The Kraken is a black spiced rum produced in Trinidad and Tobago. The Kraken takes its name from a legendary sea monster of gigantic proportions. A Kraken
was known to feed on whales, ships and men. It is said that a ship carrying a large consignment of black spiced caribbean rum was attacked and taken down by a Kraken. Barrels of dark rum drifted from the ship and were renamed ‘The Kraken’ as a tribute to the beasts power and might. The bottle features a large octopus-like cephalopod rising from the deep as if to attack an unsuspecting schooner or galleon. The bottle is designed with dual grab handles, like something a Pirate would sling over his shoulder in a drunken haze.

Most spiced rums require a mixer – they commonly burn when served straight. The Kraken by contrast can be sipped on its own. The Kraken works well with cola, ginger beer or energy drink and can be used in a variety of cocktails. In the hands of a talented mixologist The Kraken has unlimited potential.
