The Kraken is imported rum from the Caribbean blended with natural flavours. Named for a sea beast of myth and legend, The Kraken rum is strong, rich, black and smooth. This rum is distilled in pot stills on the Virgin Islands and fermented from naturally sweet mollasses made from sugar cane grown on nearby riverbanks. Natural yeasts are used to ferment the water-thinned mollasses, which is converted directly into alcohol. The rum is distilled to 97.5% alcohol and is then aged in oak barrels for between 12 and 24 months – before being blended with a range of spices including cinnamon, ginger and clove. Best served over ice, or as a component in any number of exotic cocktails.
