The Kraken Black Spiced Rum

The Kraken Black Spiced Rum is a Caribbean black spiced rum introduced in 2010. It is named after the legendary sea monster of myth and lore, a theme that is heavily reflected in its distinctive Victorian-style flagon bottle featuring two handles and a signature black-and-white aesthetic. The rum is distilled in Trinidad and Tobago, where it is aged for one to two years and blended with a proprietary mix of eleven spices including cinnamon, ginger, and clove.

Since its launch, the brand has grown into a global powerhouse in the spiced rum category, known for its high proof and dark, opaque color. The brand was developed by Proximo Spirits, an American spirits importer that manages a diverse portfolio of high-growth beverage brands. Over the years, Kraken has expanded its lineup to include ready-to-drink canned cocktails and limited-edition bottle releases, maintaining its position as a favorite in both the retail and hospitality sectors.
