Drop of lush: Rum from Trinidad and Tobago

I must admit that I had to have a peak on the map to find out where Trinidad and Tobago is situated. To my surprise, this state is not in Africa but it is an island near Venezuela. It is the country of origin of exceptional rum I would like to recommend: Kraken Black Spiced Rum.

In comparison with other kinds of rum that I usually prefer, like SantaTeresa from Venezuela or Zacapa from Guatemala, this rum is much sweeter. Kraken Black Spiced Rum matures for 24 months, a mixture of 11 herbs and spices macerates in the rum for several weeks. The local caramel is added too. It has a coffee like brown colour, taste reminds of molasses, exotic spices, chocolate with a drop of vanilla, finishing with traces of cinnamon and ginger.

Kraken Black Spiced Rum will be appreciated by people who prefer sweet kinds of rum to the tough pirate kinds. It might be very popular with women. The price is affordable, which makes it even nicer. In the czech e-shops it can be purchased for 25 USD. And one cherry of information for the end: the design of the bottle is said to be a replica of a Victorian bottle.
