Kraken Gold Spiced Rum

Kraken Gold Spiced is a lighter sibling to the brand's familiar black rum, built on dark Trinidad molasses spirit and dressed with spice, bottled at 35%. This is a flavoured product rather than a traditional aged rum, leading with warm baking spice over the sweet, dark base. Reviews point to it being more enjoyable than expected, holding up neat as well as in cola, which suits its easy, social purpose. Treated honestly, it is a casual spiced mixer rather than a sipping rum, built for relaxed drinking and long drinks. For drinkers who want an approachable, spice-forward Trinidad rum without fuss, it does the job well.
