The Kraken Black Spiced Rum is a bold Caribbean spirit distilled in Trinidad and Tobago and bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV). It is crafted from a blend of Caribbean rums enriched with a proprietary mix of 13 secret spices, producing its signature deep black color — a nod to the legendary sea monster whose ink, as the story goes, shrouded its prey. This Costco offering comes as a case of 6 x 1.75L bottles.

On the nose, expect rich chocolate and coffee aromas layered with warm cinnamon. The palate delivers chocolate sweetness, molasses, and vanilla intertwined with classic rum spices: clove, cinnamon, ginger, and galangal. The finish is warming and smooth, with a generous hit of vanilla, a touch of coffee, and a lingering hint of pepper.

The Kraken is produced by Proximo Spirits and is well suited for sipping on the rocks or as the centerpiece of cocktails such as rum and cola, dark and stormy, or spiced rum punch.
