The Kraken Rum: The Bottle- 10.24.09
The Kraken Rum: How can you NOT drink from a bottle that says “As seen through the eyes of imagination”… such a lovely description, also any bottle that has Bizarre & Fierce Sea Creatures on it is just hard to deny. You’ve seen the unboxing of the incredible packaging, design, and other goodies (like Kraken teeth in vials, ink in bottles, etc)… and now for close ups on the actual Kraken Rum bottle design from Kevin Shaw of Stranger and Stranger… The amazing thing i love to watch is putting it in unsuspecting hands, the bottle has presence! It’s hard not to pick it up, slip two fingers through the holes, and then suddenly while rotating and reading the label ~ the bottle jokingly raises up to your lips as if you are going to chug it… and many make sounds channeling their inner rum drinking Johnny Depp a la Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s happened more than once. I love how an object such as a mere bottle of rum through design and packaging can evoke such a delightful user experience! So take a peek at the packaging design and graphic details on the next page ~ The Kraken Rum is definitely a perfect gift if you need a sippable conversation starter to bring to a party (and loosen people up in more ways than one ~ it’s 94 proof!)…
So first, you got a peek at the lovely bottle as it got unboxed and tasted at the Boqueria lunch:
Now take a peek at closeups with the stunning bottle. Honestly, there is something so terribly satisfying about slipping your two fingers through those loops to hold on to it…
Of course it has a latin name.
You have to hold the bottle in real life. It feels so good. You’ll see exactly what i mean…

This is quite possibly going to finally make me purchase my first-ever bottle of rum. :)
