The beverage promises to deliver an unforgettable experience with an aroma that combines caramel, oak, and banana bread with rich vanilla and light cinnamon undertones. The flavor of the spirit evokes molasses and dark spice that dissolve into caramelized sugar. The finish boasts pleasant traces of toasted oak and vanilla. Lander Otegui, Senior Vice President of Marketing at [Proximo Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/readytodrink-rum-cocktail), stated in a press release that the brand is confident that the Kraken Gold Spiced Rum "will be THE NEW GOLD STANDARD in spiced rum thanks to its superb taste." The product is launched alongside a new campaign titled 'Tale of Gold.'
