Kraken is the perfect case in point... An inexpensive, caramel colored, spiced rum that is yummy. That is right; i said yummy.
They provided the photo:
Flavors of rich vanilla, caramel, coffee, chocolate and molasses with spices like allspice, clove, ginger and nutmeg. Big, well structured and sapid with a creamy mouth feel and long finish.
Looking for some long drinks with great names, such as: Kraken Coke . . . Kraken Up (Kraken & Lemon Lime Soda. This drink was my idea but the master piece of a name was created by Bob Lee) and a Perfect Storm (Kraken & Ginger Beer). Or how about a fun new spiced rum for some hot drinks to handle the cooler weather: Hot Apple Cider and Rum (Kraken Cider). . . Hot Buttered Rum (A Sweet, Hot, Greasy
This whole little blurb is 'blurbish' but really the stuff is simple, versatile and tasty. What could be wrong with that?
So enjoy the cool looking package, savor the tasty 'Spiced' Rum and see for yourself.
Hi Forrest,
ReplyDeleteFunny but I couldn't warm up to the Kraken. It just seemed like 'Black Seal Light' to me (as in a lightly disguised attempt to imitate the Black Seal profile but with a more moderate or 'light' take on the flavour). I did not find it very interesting or even yummy at all.
I see that you have had a completely different experience, which causes me to believe I must have missed the boat with regards to the Kraken. Perhaps I will have to revisit the bottle and form a second opinion.
Cheers My friend!
