Kraken Rum Company

The Kraken Company is a producer of Caribbean rum from Trinidad and Tobago, linked to the important American distribution company Proximo Spirits. Founded in 2010, it quickly became famous worldwide for producing a very original and fascinating spiced rum, made from molasses of sugar cane and flavored with 11 natural spices. Due to its very rich and intense profile, it is usually used for preparing very aromatic cocktails.

The symbol of the Kraken Rum Company is a sea monster known as Architeuthis Dux, whose image appears on all bottles. For centuries, this creature has been linked to mysterious ocean legends, while today its existence has been proven: it is said to be a giant squid of impressive size, considered the largest living invertebrate on our planet. The graphic design of Rum Kraken has always been tied to the illustrations of this great sea monster and its market launch was accompanied by a suggestive fairy tale narration called “The Horrid Tale.”

The Kraken Rum is the result of the distillation of molasses from sugar cane from Trinidad and Tobago, with the addition of natural spices, including cinnamon, ginger, coffee, and cloves, and a maturation period in barrels ranging from 12 to 24 months. It is inspired by the recipes of Caribbean pirates and ancient privateers who used to flavor rum with whatever spices they had. In this case, the addition of spices, besides deeply characterizing the distillate in its exotic aromatic profile, contributes to its very intense, dark, and deep coloring, reminiscent of the ink of the great sea monster. Its opulent richness and the great olfactory-gustatory impact recall the impressive size of the giant squid, chosen as its symbol.
