The Kraken Black Spiced Rum

The Kraken Black Spiced Rum is a Caribbean-style black spiced rum sold under The Kraken brand. Born from a blend of Caribbean rums (the base spirit historically sourced from Trinidad and Tobago), it is aged briefly and blended with a secret mix of spices to create its signature black, spiced profile. The Kraken concept and brand were launched commercially in 2010 by Proximo Spirits, a U.S.-based spirits company that owns and markets the label worldwide. Production is primarily associated with Trinidad and Tobago where the base rums are distilled from molasses, but bottling/packaging and some production steps are handled in other countries or regional bottling facilities depending on market and label (hence the product is primarily made in Trinidad and Tobago, but also produced/bottled in other locations). The brand is marketed at varying ABVs in different markets (common offerings are 40% and 47% ABV) and available in multiple bottle sizes. Proximo Spirits remains the ultimate owner and international distributor, while local distributors or bottlers may be used for certain markets.
