EDIT: *** Has dropped another $1 to $48.95 - beating 1st Choice by 5 cents.

One of my favourite rums (neat, or 50/50 with coke) has been sitting around $59 for the past 2 months, but its back down to $49.95 $48.95 again.

5% cashback via CashRewards.com.au if you order online (click n collect or delivery). Currently $49 at 1st Choice.

Note: Kraken is a full flavoured dark (black) spiced rum - its nothing like Bundy - but if you havent tried it before, why not give it a Krak.

The Kraken is the most fearsome of all sea monsters that lies up to 3000 feet beneath the surface of the ocean. This dreaded behemoth has been known to attack ships, dragging fearing seamen to their deaths! It has been rumoured that a large shipment of dark, spiced rum was once taken down by a Kraken in the Caribbean Sea and the resulting rum barrels drifted far and wide. This exotic Rum has been named in The Kraken's honour and is made from naturally sweet molasses from sugar cane grown naturally on Virgin Island riverbanks. Aged in barrel for 24 months to impart classic dark rum flavours of cinnamon, ginger and clove.

    Delicious with a dash of ginger syrup, soda and a squeeze of lime. :)

      Which ginger syrup and where from. Sounds nice!

      • crc32 on 21/08/2016 - 17:23

        I make my own from this recipe: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/fresh-ginger-syrup-recipe/ but if you can't be bothered try Buderim ginger syrup from your favourite local supermarket.

        • harpie on 22/08/2016 - 17:58

          Nice, Thanks for sharing. What proportions do you think of Soda to Rum?
          Big party on the weekend and no time to experiment!

        • crc32 on 23/08/2016 - 12:44

          @harpie: That's up to individual taste really. I like a generous shot of rum in a tall glass, a dash of syrup, plenty of ice and a good squeeze of fresh lime. Top with soda. Enjoy. Repeat. :)

      Oh man…I am buying this now….this tipped it for me :)
      THough I will use Ginger Ale… :)

  • PVA on 20/08/2016 - 15:53

    is it better the capt morgan spiced?

    • systmworks on 20/08/2016 - 15:55

      I think so, yes (Ive tried both), but taste is subjective.

      • Lukian on 20/08/2016 - 16:00

        Almost everything is better than the captain Morgan except the cheap imitations!

    • [Deactivated] on 20/08/2016 - 17:35

      This is better just on ice. Its one of the few rums I can drink on the rocks. Its very smooth.

      Much better than Captain Morgan Spiced Gold, but I would put the Captain Morgan Black Spiced rum ahead of Kraken.

      • systmworks on 20/08/2016 - 21:18

        I accidentally bought a bottle of CM Black Spiced, thinking it was Kraken (ordered online, didnt realise until I got it home).
        It was OK.. I finished the bottle.. but was keen to get back to Kraken and wont buy Black Spiced again, even tho its cheaper.

    • nnolan on 23/08/2016 - 14:58

      ive heard people say captain morgan isnt even a true rum , but i still like it with coke , by itself with ice is nasty though

  • Oshada on 20/08/2016 - 16:35

    This is a really good drop, definitely my favourite rum, spiced or otherwise. Highly recommended!

  • coxymla on 20/08/2016 - 16:48

    Price match at 1st Choice and use $10 off $50 voucher to get it for about $40.

    See: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/260992

    • jdogg on 20/08/2016 - 18:29

      You need to spend a minimum of $50

        Sure, so add a gift bag or a bag of nuts or something.

          First Choice also have the 'spend 30 get a selected item for 10' deal quite often, so this is perfect.

    Just came back from the UK where I was buying Kraken Spiced Rum for £20 a bottle. Bugger! Wish I'd brought some back with me. :(

    • CheapCoffee on 21/08/2016 - 16:34

      Ye, I might grab some from duty free soon on my way back. Delicious rum indeed.

    • WillisAU on 22/08/2016 - 09:26

      It's amazing how much cheaper booze is overseas. Picked up a 700ml bottle of this in the USA last month for $25AUD (was about 19US), and its 47% not 40% like over here!

    I tried to buy my wife a bottle for her birthday but the guy at Dan's said liquor out! I said thanks for the suggestion but I'd rather give her rum.

    Oh my god, dark and stormys made with this stuff are AMAZING. Two shots, some spicy ginger beer, a squeeze of lime juice and a tiny dash of bitters. Best drink ever.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/08/2016 - 23:07

    Back to 51.95 for me, bugger.

    • nickj on 22/08/2016 - 15:43

      It did that for me (with store location not set), then I set my store (to Alexandria NSW), and it reduced from 51.95 to 49.95, so possibly you just need to set your store location?

  • yoba on 22/08/2016 - 10:51

    got two, highly recommend it! Never bothered mixing it as goes quite alright neat.

    • systmworks on 23/08/2016 - 13:15

      Yep, I always taste it neat every glass I have (before I add coke) - appreciate the full flavour.
      Drinking it straight doesnt help if you are feeling a bit parched tho…

  • GeorgeS on 23/08/2016 - 10:53

    Release the Kraken.

  • Skinnerr on 23/08/2016 - 15:30

    Ive been enjoying this Buckeye spiced rum that I got from last months DM club offer. Its still $30 and is excellent value for money. It shits all over Captain Morgan which tastes like syrupy metho. This is nice and mellow but not as rich as kraken or CM black spiced.

    • systmworks on 23/08/2016 - 15:58

      Totally agree, Buckeye is what I am drinking at the moment (until I pick up a bottle of Kraken).

      Buckeye is what I buy when Kraken is not on special.. its sweeter and not as impressive as Kraken, but tasty and good value.

  • systmworks on 24/08/2016 - 17:31

    Dans have dropped another $1 to beat 1st Choice - now $48.95 (plus $2.45 back via CashRewards)

  • Neverpayretail on 07/09/2016 - 17:18

    Good with Coke?

    • systmworks on 07/09/2016 - 19:14

      I like it. Others prefer gingerale.
