Kraken Gold Spiced Rum

Kraken Gold is the lighter beast — the same Caribbean spiced rum as the black-bottled original, with the darker caramel and molasses dialed back for a golden, more mixable profile. Kraken launched in 2010 from Proximo Spirits, built on a legend of the sea monster said to have dragged a ship of Caribbean rum to the bottom, and it became the best-selling spiced rum in the world after Captain Morgan by leaning into a darker, bolder, less candied style. Gold Spiced is Trinidad-sourced rum, aged in oak and blended with the brand's thirteen-spice recipe — cinnamon, ginger, clove, vanilla, and more — without the heavy caramel color of the original, bottled at 35% ABV (70 proof) in the signature two-handled bottle. Expect a nose of vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar with a hint of citrus peel, lighter and brighter than the black Kraken, opening into a smooth, sweet, gently spiced palate of caramel, ginger, and clove with the rum's light Trinidad base showing through, finishing warm and easy. Honest note: this is a sweetened, lower-proof spiced rum built for mixing and for people who don't want to think too hard about it — rum enthusiasts should look at the Chairman's Reserve Spiced or Lemon Hart Blackpool for a spiced rum with a serious base. For a Kraken and Coke, a Kraken and ginger beer, a spiced rum punch, or a Painkiller with a golden tint, it's the sea monster in daylight.
