While over at the eldest daughters on Christmas her husband offered me a mixed drink that was made with Kraken Rum and A & W Root Beer. Before you say anything ... That's was the smoothest and most delicious Rum mixed drink I have ever had.
Kraken is a Rum imported from the Islands and is a real dark rum that has assorted spices added to it. I know spiced rum stinks , well that is the Capt Morgan Spiced Rum it tastes like cooking vanilla and I can't stand it.
As Wikipedia explains it...............
The base rum used in Kraken is from Trinidad and Tobago, distilled from molasses made from local sugar cane. The rum is aged 12 - 24 months and is then blended with a proprietary mix of 11 spices, including cinnamon, ginger and clove. All added ingredients are natural, and the Kraken is gluten-free and vegan.
I did not try any straight but mixed in the root beer it was really good and this old boy plans on having the rum and the root beer here at the house.
Kraken Black Spiced Rum is 47% alc ( 94 proof in the USA ) Currently exported to Canada, United Kingdom, Mexico, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Denmark, South Africa, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand.
