The Story of The Kraken<\/h4>\n

Th\u00ade Kraken Black Spiced is named for a sea beast of myth and legend, said to have brought down the world\u2019s largest shipment of Caribbean rum. The story involves a dark and stormy night on the deepest, blackest seas.<\/p>\n

A monstrous, eight-armed squid with tentacles a mile long attacks. Storms rage, boats are broken into pieces (eight pieces\u2026 Coincidence?)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Three eye-witnesses swear to have seen these brutal attacks. Those people, of course, have never been seen again; they drowned, their last breaths filled with seawater and black ink as they were ripped beneath the surface of the sea.<\/p>\n

And the Rum…<\/h4>\n

Dredged from the blackest depths of the unrelenting north Atlantic and said to have been touched by the notorious sea beast of myth and legend, The Kraken Black Spiced is dark and dangerous, mysterious and nefarious. And undeniably delicious.<\/p>\n

Distilled in the Caribbean from naturally sweet molasses, the Kraken Black Spiced is then blended with secret spices, notes of vanilla, cinnamon, citrus, allspice, cloves, nutmeg, peppercorn, and also danger, lots and lots of danger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Internationally, sales of premium rum are booming.\u00a0 South Africans consumed over 7.2 million bottles of rum last year (including white rum, dark rum and flavoured rum.) Interestingly, 45% of those bottles were flavoured rum.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your Kraken the Way you like it<\/h4>\n

Enjoy a Kraken and Cola (mix 1 part Kraken with 3 parts cola and add a lime wedge) or mix yourself a Perfect Storm (1 part Kraken mixed with 3 parts ginger beer and add a lime wedge) and settle into an evening of story-telling with friends to see what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n

The Kraken Black Spiced is available at all good bottle stores at a recommended retail price of R399.<\/p>\n
