The final “Unknown Deep” release: Copper Scar. Inside the striking copper, tentacle-embossed flagon is the classic Kraken Black Spiced Rum—dark, richly spiced and irresistibly giftable. Expect vanilla, toffee apple and baking spice over a thick, molasses-driven core.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Spicy and rich with sweet vanilla and flamed orange; hints of lime and cinnamon. Dense palate of molasses, tar and charred oak with waves of cinnamon, nutmeg, espresso and golden syrup. Long, very spicy finish.
