Kraken’s Spiced Rum is always a bit hit with rum-lovers and party goers at Christmas, and now for a limited time Amazon has slashed the price to £25 making it cheaper than supermarkets
Sailors may have famously relied on rum as the historic cure for the monotony of the high seas, but its also just as good for livening up a festive party. If you’re on the hunt for Christmas spirits to ply your visitors with, a bottle of one of the best-loved rums can’t steer you wrong – and right now, there’s a great deal that isn’t to be missed.
On Amazon, the coveted Kraken Black Spiced Rum is up for grabs at £25.49 after being slashed from its usual £35. The £25.49 litre bottle of Kraken is just under £10 cheaper than getting it from Tesco (£35) and is cheaper than Sainsbury’s full price (£26.50).

Whether served on its own on the rocks, or added to a cocktail like calypso coffee or a thunderous dark and stormy, this adaptable rum brings an indelible character to any concoction. With an impressive 4.8 out of 5-star rating averaged over a massive 28,000 reviews on Amazon, it’s clear this tipple has no shortage of fans.
Praising its diversity and palatable charm, one Amazon shopper rated it five stars, saying: “It’s a delicious and versatile rum that has become my go-to for any occasion. Its rich and smooth flavour makes it perfect for both sipping and mixing, and the unique bottle design adds a fun touch. For anyone looking for a high-quality, reasonably priced spiced rum, Kraken is an excellent choice.”
“Just discovered this and it is lovely,” enthused one satisfied customer. “Really nice flavour. Pretty good price here on Amazon. Lovely quality, smooth and drinkable tipple. Has a nice warmth to it.”
Another added: “Overall, Kraken Black Spiced Rum is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a versatile, flavoursome rum to their collection.”
Not everyone’s taste buds were tickled in the same way, though. “I know some rum can be sweet but the sweetness coupled with the thicker nature of the liquid put me off from the first sampling,” admitted a less impressed reviewer.
Meanwhile, another commented: “It’s not a horrible drink on its own by any means however it does leave something to be desired.”
For those seeking an alternative Caribbean vibe, Mount Gay Barbados Rum is available at Tesco for £24 for 70cl. And for the more adventurous drinkers, there’s Wild Oxen Chocolate Rum, priced at £34.25 for 70cl at the Whisky Exchange, reports the Daily Record.
