Just wondering who's tried it, and what your opinion is. Thanks!

I have and LOVE it! It has replaced Sailor Jerry Navy Rum (spiced) which replaced Captain Morgan Spiced Rum for me.

Leinad introduced me to it at BARF back in March. It wasn't easily available here in North Carolina...until I raised hell with the local ABC, made a journey across Charlotte to get a bottle, now it's available at the ABC store a mile away from me. Wicked good stuff!

I like mixing it with ginger beer - or Blenheim's HOT ginger ale.

Thanks, Molden. I happened across it at my local Spec's, and decided to give it a try. Not bad!

Just saw this...in my opinion...IT'S GREAT!!! I LOVE IT!!!  ;D ;D ;D

My husband went to the liquor store one day last summer and mostly bought it because of the bottle...the label...and the name...but when we tried it...we loved it!!! 

It is now one of our favorites!!!  ;D

Yeah, I have to admit, the name and artwork got me to buy it, too :)

I tried it at a family get-together (in ATL) at the urgent insisting of a few cousins...and LOVED it! I haven't looked for it here (Central/Upstate NY) at any liquor stores, but I know one of my favorite bars in town stocks it. I've only had it with cola so far, but I'm thinking I might like it with ginger ale as well  :)

Try it with a crafted ginger ale or ginger beer insead of Seagram's or Canada Dry. World Market has some good ginger beers. Makes all the difference!  :D

I hate to admit i'm not much of a rum drinker, i think i must have drank to much rum
in my younger years, but The Kraken is some good stuff. I would encourage everyone
to pick up a bottle and you won't be unhappy, great stuff and price is nice also.
