Review: Delicious Go-To Rum for Any Occasion - I recently bought Kraken Black Spiced Rum, 1L, and it has quickly become my favorite choice for rum. Here’s why I think it deserves a full 5-star rating: Pros: Rich and Bold Flavor: The flavor profile of Kraken Black Spiced Rum is incredibly rich and bold. With notes of vanilla, caramel, and cinnamon, it offers a smooth yet robust taste that is perfect for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails. Versatile Use: Whether you’re making a classic rum and coke, a spicy mojito, or a cozy hot buttered rum, Kraken adds a distinctive and delicious twist. It’s versatile enough to complement a wide variety of drinks. Smooth Finish: Despite its bold flavor, Kraken has a remarkably smooth finish. There’s no harsh aftertaste, making it a pleasure to drink whether straight up or in a mixed drink. Great Value: For a 1L bottle, the price is very reasonable given the quality of the rum. It’s an affordable option that doesn’t compromise on taste or experience. Aesthetic Appeal: The packaging is striking and unique, with the Kraken motif adding a touch of fun and intrigue. It makes for a great addition to any home bar. Cons: Strong Spice: While I personally love the strong spice notes, it might be a bit intense for those who prefer a milder rum. However, it’s perfect for those who enjoy a bold and flavorful drink. Overall: Kraken Black Spiced Rum, 1L, is a delicious and versatile rum that has become my go-to for any occasion. Its rich and smooth flavor makes it perfect for both sipping and mixing, and the unique bottle design adds a fun touch. For anyone looking for a high-quality, reasonably priced spiced rum, Kraken is an excellent choice. 5 out of 5 stars for its exceptional taste, versatility, and value. Highly recommended for rum enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike!
Review: The Best Black Spiced Rum - Accept no substitutes - this is simply the best spiced rum on the market. You will not get a better rum at this price - desertcart has 70cl at £20 as do most supermarkets when on offer - and it is better than spiced rums priced higher like Rumbullion and Crusty Juggler. It's got a smooth, refreshing and not overpowering taste. It does not foam up when mixed like cheaper rums, giving a pleasing consistency in the glass. It mixes brilliantly with Coke, Diet Coke and Coke Zero (I use Diet Coke). I would not recommend mixing with Lemonade but it does mix with Ginger Beer very well. I have not found any rum as good as Kraken, it's the best and it's the best value for money, but if you do need an alternative, I'd say Black Magic, Crusty Juggler or Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum are the only alternatives. Avoid Sailor Jerry and Dead Man's Fingers.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely gift set — smooth, rich rum and a really nice glass
*by J***S on 27 April 2025*

Picked up this Kraken gift set and it’s genuinely a lovely little package. The rum itself is brilliant — really rich and smooth with that classic spiced flavour Kraken’s known for. It tastes great on its own, over ice, or even just topped up with a bit of water or Coke. Super easy to drink and not too harsh at all. Can't go wrong with Kraken. The glass that comes with it is proper nice too. It’s heavier than I expected, with a cool smoky effect and the Kraken logo/ tentacle design on the side. Looks really good next to my bottles. Definitely a nice piece to own The packaging is also really well done — makes it feel like a genuine gift rather than just throwing a bottle and cheap glass together. Definitely worth picking up either for yourself or as a present for someone else, absolutely amazing deal for the price.
