Kraken Gold Spiced Rum 1 Litre bottle

Kraken Gold Spiced Rum: A Golden Twist on a Legendary Caribbean Origin

The Kraken Gold Spiced Rum 1 Litre brings a fresh perspective to one of the world's most recognisable rum brands. Inspired by the mythical sea creature that has become synonymous with The Kraken, this golden expression offers a lighter, smoother style while retaining the bold personality that has made the brand a favourite among rum enthusiasts.

Produced from Dominican rum aged for two years and bottled at 35% ABV, Kraken Gold is infused with a carefully guarded blend of spices that delivers layers of caramel, vanilla and warming oak. It is designed to be approachable enough for newcomers while still offering the distinctive character fans expect from The Kraken.

The Story Behind The Kraken

Since launching in 2010, The Kraken has become one of the most successful premium spiced rum brands in the world. Named after the legendary sea monster said to dwell in the darkest depths of the ocean, the brand has built a unique identity around maritime folklore, Victorian-inspired packaging and bold Caribbean flavour.

Its instantly recognisable bottle, complete with twin carry handles and vintage-style label, has become iconic among rum drinkers. While the original Black Spiced Rum remains the flagship release, Kraken has continued to expand the range with limited editions, ready-to-drink cocktails and the introduction of Gold Spiced Rum in 2023.

If you're exploring premium spiced rum or looking to discover exciting new Caribbean rum, Kraken Gold offers an excellent alternative to traditional dark spiced rums.

A Different Side of The Kraken

Unlike the original Black Spiced Rum, Kraken Gold showcases a brighter, more mellow flavour profile.

The rum is distilled in the Dominican Republic before spending two years maturing by the Caribbean coast. It is then blended with The Kraken's signature spice recipe, producing notes of molasses, caramelised sugar and toasted oak with a smooth vanilla finish.

While unmistakably part of The Kraken family, Gold Spiced Rum offers a softer style that works equally well enjoyed neat, over ice or mixed into classic rum cocktails.
