‘Kraken’ is the BEST RUM EVER (and I haven’t even tasted it yet)
Brace yerselves, mates, for it’s the end of an era. For decades the spiced rum market has been dominated by one name – Captain Morgan (The REAL Morgan, by the way, was a poser pirate and a traitor to the cause. Plus he couldn’t sail for damn, so it’s fitting that sooner or later his namesake rum would be sunk.) Well, no longer – Kraken Rum is on the scene, and they stand ready to do some serious damage to their competitor’s market share. Why? Simple – Kraken Rum is the BEST RUM EVER.
Of course, I haven’t actually tried it yet. But check out the promotional package they sent me:
One bottle of Kraken Spiced Rum, one CD full of the Kraken’s tales, a hardbound book of stories, history, and recipes, genuine (likely fake) kraken ink and tooth, a wall chart showing the kraken’s enormous scale – even a personal letter addressed to their “Esteemed Colleague.” That’s right – *I’m* an esteemed colleague of Kraken Rum! I bet next Christmas they’ll even invite me over for dinner. And did I mention it was all in a custom Kraken box, sealed in wax? I mean, seriously, when’s the last time Captain Morgan, or any of those other wannabe spiced rums (I’m looking at you Sailor Jerry and Kilo Kai) ever sent me something this nice? The answer: NEVER.
Soon I’ll actually taste the rum. And then write a review. Until then, I remain confident in my statement that Kraken Rum is the best rum I ain’t never tasted. Oh, and don’t forget to check out their website.

I agree that if I could find out how to get some I would get me filthy hands on some. Need to Know how to get it!!!!!
-
I seen the Kraekn once-td, and I inked me pants! Where does one get such wonderous spirit??????
-
Fecking brilliant! I don’t even drink and I want this. Bad.
-
Oi Bilgie,
Let’s review this stuff in Pirates magazine! BTW, Happy New Year, mate!
-
Poser Pirate?!?!?! I’ll give you that he ended up turning traitor, but even that’s sort of a pirate move. Not a fan of Captain Morgan rum really, but Morgan the pirate? He had some high points
-
The man was a landlubber, though and through. Wrecked more ships (his own) than you can count. A brilliant tactician, aye, but he did it all in the name of the king. Twren’t no pirate at all. Privateers are posers, and landlubbing privateers doubly so, high points or no >:)
-
Were you hurt by a privateer? a relationship with a privateer went badly? I feel your pain. Morgan was one of the most successful pirates ever. The Spanish surely would have tried him as a pirate. Bite your tongue about privateers, most of them took the authority they were given and acted more like true pirates, so what if they were serving a crown or country on paper…
-
A great man once described him as a “pirate of truly legendary proportions” when reviewing a book about Henry Morgan. I have to agree.
-
Er… I was drunk!
-
Drunk on Captn’ Morgan?……….!
-
I’m thinking of naming our baby Morgan, I had to take a stand.
-
Fond of Pusser’s meself, but I keeps an open mind where alcohol is concerned
-
Not really too impressed if you have to give me a box full of treasure maps and trinckets to get me to drink your RUM it must not be that good! I drink Sailor Jerry because he was a REAL person with a real story and heritage with a quality product not because he sent me a tattoo kit in the mail? Afterall the work should speak for itself! CHEERS
-
Yea, keep it ‘untasted’ for now… don’t want to wreck your dreams of the new, best rum
speaking of Sailor Jerry, Admiral Nelson, etc., my friends and I found an even lower Morgan knockoff rum to try out:
-
Bwahaha! Lt. Dan rum is my new favorite!
-
Wasn’t Lt. Dan the legless guy in Forrest Gump?
-
Kraken Rum will be available NATIONWIDE in January. Ask your local liquor store and bartender to order a bottle.
The locator on the website will be up and running in February.
Cheers! -
Aye, that be Dan – a stumpy shrimper. I’m startin’ to worry about the new rum’s name after thinkin’ about poor Lt. Dan…….as in seein’ a repairman’s Kracken…..damn me eyes!!!! Nonetheless, I’ll be orderin’ a bottle o’ink as soon as me seawench springs me out o’ the brig.
-
No Rum Has Legs till it be drank!
-
I will have a go with the Kraken rum as soon as it shows up on my shores! Me and little one enjoyed the Kraken history movies.
-
I had a laughing fit when I first saw the Lt. Dan… I was hoping sooooo much that it’d be the guy from Forest Gump, stumps and all… alas it was not. Tasted…. cheap, but we drank half the handle without even realizing it :0
that was supposed to be for selling behind our bar at parties :/
I can say that I am impressed and all I have to look at is a website, a picture, and a link that won’t tell me where to get some…
