Hints of vanilla bean and a faint, almost medicinal herbaceousness, characteristic of some spiced rums, weave through the darker notes, with a subtle undercurrent of dried dark fruit, possibly plum or raisin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate confirms the nose's promise of robust spice, delivering a fiery yet balanced profile. Dark treacle and burnt sugar dominate, tempered by sweet vanilla and a hint of coffee. The 'natural flavors' likely contribute to a complex interplay of cola, sarsaparilla, and a faint peppery kick. Despite the spice, there's a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel that coats the tongue, with a touch of oak influence, possibly from the rum's base spirit, mingling with the added flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A long, lingering finish that is decidedly warm and spicy, with a sustained embrace of cinnamon, black pepper, and star anise. The caramel and molasses notes fade gently, leaving behind a pleasant dry sweetness and a faint, almost smoky bitterness. The spice dissipates slowly, leaving the palate tingling with a memorable, exotic warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reserve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48543126487258,"sku":"NDC-00049","price":97.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/8263\/7018\/files\/main_14250d88-71b7-4514-a7c9-f40052ad6c5c.png?v=1788400854","url":"https:\/\/takeyourpickliquors.com\/products\/2021-the-kraken-attacks-maryland-94-proof-750ml","provider":"Take Your Pick Liquors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
