If most established inebriant brands are know for being stiff than their stroke are , then , well , Kraken Rum is n’t like most brands . The caller , recognizable for itsiconic “ two eyed ” bottleful of rum , loves to pay court to myths and monsters of legend with their imagery . Which makes horse sense , cave in rummy ’s chronicle alongside crewman who apportion tales of the creatures that live below the ocean . So when they determine to host a launch party for an all - new rum based on the buried treasure of yore , you may expect a maritime vibe .
The Kraken Gold Spiced Rum is their latest offer , base on the one thing a giant undersea Beast loves more than deep - ocean darkness : gold . As a contrast to their rich Black Spiced Rum , this novel variety promises a lighter , more molasses - hint flavor and caramel aroma . And our hosts did n’t disappoint with the gold esthetics : doubloon hung from every surface , gold - dust adorned the appetizers , and gargantuan shiny bars of gold decorated the bar , where they dish up cocktail like The Kraken ’s Keep ( Kraken Gold Spiced Rum , Orange River and pineapple succus , aureate junk , and a torched cinnamon stick . )
Of naturally , it would n’t be a Kraken Rum event without some tentacle . Upon entering the locus , tentacles declare oneself shots of the new rum to sample . The rum hits nicely : definitely more spiciness - forward , with a slight sweetness and cinnamon feel that make it sippable on its own , as well as balanced enough to blend into a cocktail . Guests could challenge the Kraken ’s tentacle itself with an arm - wrestling machine , which read out pirate - themed strength reports ranging from “ Landlubber ” to “ blubber Sailor . ” There was even a smash room , where visitant gripped their very own Kraken ’s tentacle and manage it to destroy conch shell and vases .

After some mingling and sip on an ( excellent ) Kraken Gold Spiced Rum & Cola , we were brought into a room with huge whirlpool projections on three walls — the effect was like being sucked into the The Kraken ’s lair to be bump off by The Beast . There , we were able to see about the descent of the Kraken Gold Spiced Rum , snatched from the fabulous lair by daring - yet - doomed pirates . We were even treated to three tales of disaster by our plagiarist hosts , who each warned us about the fate of those who ’d tested the The Kraken . It was all on the nose what you ’d hope for from Kraken Rum : a opportunity to sip on luscious rum , revel the saga of pirates and treasure , and encompass your inner sea monster .
