Yo Ho Ho, NABOR! Welcome! NABOR stands for "and a bottle of rum" and for "neighbor." This chronicles my search for both the very best rum and the best rum value for mixing in Caffeine-Free Diet Coke. I’ve rated well over 60 rums for taste and value. I have been surprised how many outstanding rums I've found--and how much better many are than what I had been drinking. Of course, a few of them are very expensive, but there are some incredible values to be enjoyed. --Glynn Ligon

Rum: The Kraken, Black Spiced Rum, Lawrenceburg, Indiana (lat: Architeuthis dux)
Rating: 3 Proof: 94
A favorite of fishermen in Port Aransas, but the spice drives down the rating. Legend says the black is from octapus ink. Great bottle, great gift for a buddy.
Value Rating: .50 Low
Dozens of Port Aransas fishermen disagree with the formula for calculating the value.
Typical Price: $18/750 ml
Love The Kraken!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I just couldn't get my arms around the complexity of the tastes. I'll leave the Kraken to those suckers fishing the waters of Port Aransas.
