Most tasters land in the same middle zone: a dark, gloopy spiced rum that drinks closer to a sweet coffee-vanilla liqueur than a sipping rum. Expect vanilla, brown sugar, marzipan, clove and a glace-cherry note, with a hint of glue on the nose. One reviewer nailed the finish as sweetened iced latte. Fine neat for some, better in cola or a mule for most.

How does Kraken Black Spiced Rum taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Sweet, spiced, more mixer than sipper Middling scores and a clear message: it's sweet, spiced and a bit liqueur-like. A few sip it happily, but most treat it as a cola or baking companion.

Review by LukaŽiga
6:On the nose, this is indeed a spiced rum. Spices and licorice are present, but vanilla is even more so. There's also a hint of cherry. 6,4:Sweet on the palate. The ever-present spices (clove) are joined this time by orange. Vanilla is also present.. 6:The finish is sweet, on spices and vanilla. Drinkable also neat.... Edit:1.8.25
Review by w00tAN
Quite simple and, as expected, quite sweet on the finish
Review by Émile Shevek
Sweet and pungent with a full-bodied consistency
Review by C Ap Adam
50ml sample Gloopy and the colour of cola Nose: Not very strong but Battenberg cake with glace cherries Some spices which you'll find in a normal aged rum Mouth: Who hasn't ordered a vanilla mocha with three teaspoons of brown sugar? Again, there's spice Finish: Very sugary coffee, chocolate with some spice thrown in. It's the same mouth feel you get after a sweetened iced latte. As such, lasts fairly long. Impression: Not massively offensive either way, which probably explains it's popularity. I think there's hope for fans of this rum to move on to different rums, though it's closer to a liqueur, particularly in the finish.
Review by Mark Tibbo
Another decent rum as long as it’s mixed with cola
Review by Jakob Deiner
Not a bad spiced rum for vanilla and spice fans. The vanilla comes through less in taste than in smell. Definitely sweet - but not too sweet in taste. Much less than e.g. Don Papa Baroko. In the Mule the vanilla note comes through lightly, quite an interesting combination with the sharpness of ginger beer. Drinks: - Neat: 3.5/5 - Rum Cola: 3/5 (Vanilla Coke, somewhat artificial) - Rum Mule: 3.5/5
Review by H1ldegunst
Not bad but also not my favorite to drink neat. However, as a baking ingredient in Christmas stollen, it’s really a blast and also okay as a "cola rum." Definitely the better mixer than Skipper.

Review by Xerdo
Not a subtle rum with lots of spicing and caramel/vanilla flavour. Mixes perfectly with Pepsi.
Review by Lupo Alberto
A distinctive, spicy rum, as the writing on the label says. With a very dark amber color, very pronounced, even spicy, hints of spice are immediately felt both on the nose and palate, including licorice, which persist even in the sufficiently long finish. It is not exactly a meditation Rum, but then again, that is what can be expected after reading the label. A rum, therefore, to be drunk lightheartedly in company and in merriment, which may also appeal to the female audience given its sweetness. Chocolate not recommended, if you want you can use it for a Rum and Coke. Very low price.
