Re: Kraken rum - it's a tasty mixer. I'll sip rum in a pinch and this one's pretty smooth - no origin labeling but rumor says it's from Trinidad/Tobago. I like it mixed w/fruit juice - I gave up on cola years ago but I'll bet it's dandy in a rum and coke.
Compared to Goslings (Bermuda black rum)- seems sweeter to me. Smoother than some of the other black rums I've tried (Captain Morgan, Trader Vic's etc..) They're all good. I drink these w/strong ginger beer or failing that, ginger ale, slice of lemon.
