Updated May 2026.
Kraken Black Spiced Rum is 47% ABV / 94 proof on the official US site footer (Proximo Spirits, Jersey City). A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.18 NIAAA standard drinks. It is Caribbean rum with natural flavors and caramel color — a flavored/spiced class, not the 40% white-rum floor. Shop copy also prints a 35–47% band; Gold-spiced SKUs can read 35%. Read the neck.
We will not reprint a 2021 price list. Related: rum types, Captain Morgan, white vs dark rum.
What the footer actually prints
| SKU | US ABV | 1.5 oz drinks |
|---|---|---|
| Black Spiced (flagship) | 47% / 94 (site footer) | 1.18 |
| Gold / other flavored | Often 35% — read the neck | 0.88 if 35% |
| 750 mL Black | 47% | ~20 drinks in the bottle |
Four 47% pours are about 4.7 drinks. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Captain Morgan Original Spiced US is 35% — a different bottle. No 2026 MSRP. Pour math: rum drinks.
