LadyBarbossa Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I found a bottle at a local Hy-Vee (grocery store) and thinking about picking it up. It's under $21 (I wonder if that's a hint on who is NOT suppose to drink it). Anyone try this rum yet? ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Pew Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Just finished a bottle of it. Very good. Think along the lines of a heavy Cap'n Morgan, mixed with a Gosling's or Cruzan's Black Strap. I drank it warm and straight in 3-4oz tots. Very good for those who like a heavier rum. A review online: 'The Kraken — the rum, that is — cuts quite a profile in consumption, a truly monstrous hit of chocolate and molasses, cut with Christmas spices — cinnamon and allspice, cloves and maybe even some ginger. Vanilla is big on the finish. Overall the effect is quite impressive, and any spiced rum fan will get a big kick out of The Kraken." A definitely agree with the vanilla and molasses taste. Delicious. , Skull and Quill Society , The Watch Dog "We are 21st Century people who play a game of dress-up and who spend a lot of time pissing and moaning about the rules of the game and whether other people are playing fair."

Red-Handed Jill Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Having drunk quite a bit of it by now, I can report that it's quite good. Like Cruzan's Black Strap rum mixed with a good spiced rum (one that isn't as harsh as Captain Morgan.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Jack Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I got to a decent spirits store today . . . Their selection was STILL mainly mixing rums, however. -I'll just say that Upstate to Midlands South Carolina is a CRAP place to buy good rum . . . Anyways, . . . I got some Kraken, based mainly on Bilgemunky's reviews and the oh-so-cool bottle. Well, I opened it tonight and think it is QUITE good! It lacks the harsh "bite" of cheap rum, the overly sweet taste of Capt Morgan Private Stock, and the molasses flavor of the Cruzan Black Strap that I like. It is tasty. I'm liking it in the first mug (I have a specially made glazed ceramic "Scottish Shot Glass" that holds 4oz). I approve and this will be a "regular buy" for me, assuming they keep making it and the crappy ABC stores around here keep selling it. I approve. -John "Tartan Jack" Wages, of South Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandyCotton Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I was going to make a thread about Kraken but I'm glad I looked here first. The Steampunks swear by this stuff but I'm guessing that's more of "theme" thing. I was wondering what pirates thought of it. I'll keep my opinion to myself since officially I have not touched the stuff being of a tender age and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
