  Kraken Spiced Black Trinidad Rum 40%

  Item no.: 22227865407-8

  The sugar cane grows right down to the coast in Trinidad, and the molasses from it ends up in tall distillation columns. The rum that comes out is young and raw. Then come the spices. And then comes the bottle with two handles on the neck and a sea monster dragging a sailing ship into the deep.

  Expert description

  Kraken Spiced Black Trinidad Rum is a Spiced Rum from Trinidad, made from molasses rum aged 1-2 years and bottled at 40%.

  The base rum comes from Angostura Distillery in Trinidad, where it is column-distilled from cane molasses. After a couple of years in cask it is blended with a spice recipe that Proximo Spirits keeps close to its chest. Cinnamon, ginger and cloves are the only ones officially confirmed. Caramel gives it its final, almost jet-black colour, which is also why it cannot claim to be naturally coloured.

  Kraken hit the market in 2010 and quickly became the bottle people pointed at behind the bar before they had even tasted it. The name comes from the Norse legend of the sea monster, and the bottle shape is copied from old Victorian rum bottles with two handles on the neck, so they could be lashed down on board a ship in rough weather.

  It is a rum built to be mixed. The sweetness and spices stand up strongly enough to be felt through ginger beer, cola and coffee without disappearing.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Vanilla and caramel first, heavy and sweet. Then cinnamon, a touch of lime and something reminiscent of coffee grounds and liquorice.

  Palate

  Thick and syrupy. Molasses, brown sugar, cloves and nutmeg, with a dark roasted note in the background like espresso and toasted oak.

  Finish

  Long and peppery. The spices linger, the sweetness fades slowly.

  Angostura 1919 Caribbean Trinidad 8 years old Rum 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 22227865407-2

  1919 is the year the House of Angostura truly began exporting its rum from Trinidad, and the name is the house's tribute to that legacy.

  Expert description

  Angostura 1919 is a Caribbean Rum from Trinidad matured 8 years and bottled at 40%.

  The rum comes from House of Angostura, founded in Venezuela in 1824 and relocated to Trinidad in 1875, today world-renowned for both its rum and its aromatic bitters. Angostura 1919 is a blend of rums matured in ex-bourbon casks in the Caribbean heat, which accelerates maturation compared to cooler climates, resulting in a warm, round and well-balanced rum with a pronounced focus on vanilla and caramel.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Rich caramel and vanilla, toasted oak and warm baking spices, with a light fruitiness of ripe bananas and dried apricots plus a touch of cocoa.

  Palate

  Dry and medium-bodied with roasted nuts, creamy vanilla, brown spices and tropical nuances.

  Finish

  Soft and silky with buttery caramel, vanilla and molasses, well-balanced and not overly sweet.

  Where Superior Gold is soft and immediate, the 7 year expression steps up in dryness and depth, without letting go of the house's signature vanilla.

  Expert description
