i love how june is still this mysterious character on the channel but shes starting to get more involved and have her own say/banter! best family channel on youtube, we love you BVM
Hi BVM & June. I'm a new subscriber from Canada and I'm enjoying your channel. I used to live in Bermuda. In Bermuda the most popular drink is a "Dark & Stormy" that are made with Bermuda black rum and ginger beer, garnished with a slice of lime. The rum used is a brand called 'Goslings Black Seal Rum". Several years ago mixed drinks started to get very popular again in New York bars and Goslings Black Seal Rum and the Dark & Stormy drink became very trendy. It was trendy enough that Proximo Spirits developed Kraken Rum in a effort to take market share from Goslings. With a big marketing campaign they were reasonably successful. The thing is Kraken is a rather 'engineered' substitute for Goslings which is a natural product. Goslings doesn't have artificial colouring (caramel) or spices to give it a similar rich flavour. Instead Gosling's flavour comes from the molasses it is made from. I've drank a few bottles of Kraken in my time and liked it but if I had a choice I'd go for the Goslings Black Rum for the authentic taste of a Bermuda style black rum. Look in your liquor store -- they likely sell Goslings! Well worth a try and you can do a followup video. (In Bermuda the second most popular drink is a "Rum Swizzle". They are really good too but have a relatively complicated recipe. The Dark & Stormy is easier and when its drinking time, easy is good!).
Sounds like a cracking rum, I'm gonna have to try that. I hope you did another review together, after downing half a bottle of rum. Another great review. I also like that BVM just took the first swig of rum straight from the bottle like a savage.
Try Pink Pigeon spiced rum, that stuff is something else. As for having rum n coke, I drink rum n coke alot and can tell the difference between rums, been drinking it for years mind you.
Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look to the sky with hope in his eyes! And let this day be forever cursed by we who ready to wake...the Kraken!
I think ice, instead of water, yes i know ice is water but maybe a couple of cubes,but 40%??..blimey, I love ginger beer aswell so yes, I agree with June, don't drink too much though..
I've actually never tried Rum which seems crazy when i think about it! From someones experience what's the best or one of the best to get? i shall try very shortly! :D

Hey if there was a cheaper version of it, hopefully it would still be nice, all the same it would bound to be better than a kick in the tenticles im sure
Yo BVM, you watch a fellow called Ben Deen? Just watched him eat a quadruple pounder with cheese from Maccy D’s. He loves the place. Doesn’t do reviews as such, just eats. You should check him out though. You guys definitely have different opinions on McDonald’s.

This was the most enjoyable out of all the kraken reviews on TH-cam.
Love how you keep glancing at the bottle making sure you’re getting that £12.50’s worth mate!
cracking stuff

Love Kraken rum been drinking it for a few years now.
“La mumba” in Spain is usually made with cold chocolate milk and brandy BVM 👍🏻
Lesson learnt don't let June near your alcohol
Glad you did this mate I was one who recommended it to you
I love it neat, in fact. First rum I ever tasted, too. It were yummeh.
nice handles on the bottle- great review
ginger beer and dark rum is a bermuda drink called dark n stormy
I think the people want June! You are the best duo on TH-cam! Keep it up BVM
I love a bit of Kraken, nice balance between spiced and black rum 😁
bvm n june pissed up before its even open 💯 you tube session at its finest 👍🍺 keep it coming 👊
When he mouthed "fucking hell" after the sip🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pmsl, you crack me up mate, keep up the great vids!
Honestly this is the best entertainment on TH-cam 😂😂😂👌
Great effort mate all the kids that watch will love trying this 😂😂
Man you guys had me Kraken up 🤣🤣 ☠

@@BlueVanManbeautiful day here in Arkansas! Couple days off for me nothing to complain about!
@@DREWSLENS good lad, make some videos.
@@BlueVanMan I definitely will! Hitting 2k subscribers today or tomorrow! Very grateful for all your support man 👊

Also nice with fanta fruit twist, and monster fruit punch👍
More a Sailor Jerry man myself. Love your work
The Mike Tyson comparison is very apt considering the allegations against McGregor.
Kraken Rum in an espresso martini it’s banging June! Coffee and tequila is another winner.
BVM might be the first youtuber I get merch from if he ever does it
That stuff is my favorite tipple it's so fkn easy to drink...also lidl rum is pretty fkn sweet for the price ...anyhoo good job bvm 👍
Big Dave and June to replace the monarchy
Kraken and a good quality ginger ale best to mix it with by far!
I need this now!
great video bro! keep it up
Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look to the sky with hope in his eyes! And let this day be forever cursed by we who ready to wake...the Kraken!
i want to see you review stuff like this while drunk. it would make this masterpiece even better!
Cinnamon challenge kind of thing 🤣🤣🤣 love it
Hey BVM could you review WOODS 100 NAVY RUM its rocket fuel 50 odd percent
British Beer Dude , that’s what I buy the local knobhead in my boozer to make him piss off home early
Kgnandrewgreen Haha
Kraken with lemonade and ice, amazing.
Am a massive Rum drinker. The kraken is my second favourite to Sailor Jerry’s. BVM you have to review Rumbullion and Sailor Jerry’
Awesome!! Hands down me favourite rum👍 funny how small that bottle is when being caressed by them bloody big bear paws😂
This is my of my go to drinks I fucking love dark rum.
Plus its what pirates drank and that's pretty quality.
I really love Kraken, I think it tastes great!
can you try OLD ROSIE cider?
I have done buddy
That's LOVELY 👍😳
these accents are amazing. He sounds like Mel Smith.
this stuff fucks me up. tastes like dr pepper when you have it with coke.
Fun fact:
The bottle cost more to produce than the actual rum
If the bottle has the numbers EO8 on the base of it then it came from a town called Alloa
Wee fact for you
My dad has rum and green ginger wine
We are the visually impaired when it comes to June. Need to be told what her expressions are 🤣
Best vid in long 🙌🙌
absolutleh tremendous vid dave
Now BVM has found the good stuff x😀
Couldn't stop laughing, I've subscribed!
Thanks and welcome
This stuff is amazing it’s all I drink
Kraken with mulled apple cider is delicious...
Why is the rum always gone?
BVM you need to do some pirate research about the legend of The Kraken....
Becoming a morecambe and wise Awesome 👍
Rum goes well in coffee
Rum ginger beer and lime is a dark and stormy ;)
I think ice, instead of water, yes i know ice is water but maybe a couple of cubes,but 40%??..blimey, I love ginger beer aswell so yes, I agree with June, don't drink too much though..
Very nice this stuff
Kraken is beautiful
You want to try old j tiki fire mate
Another rum but it's rich
Tidy run is the tiki,fucking bladders you if you have too many.😂
I've actually never tried Rum which seems crazy when i think about it! From someones experience what's the best or one of the best to get? i shall try very shortly! :D
i don't like normal rum but spiced rum is very nice with coke. i normally just play it safe and buy captain morgan spiced rum.
@Creig O'Muireadhaigh I'll have a look out for that. Thanks!
@@circle2867 Captain Morgan is something I always see but never pick up. I'll buy a bottle through the week! Thanks 👍
That only applies to whisky and brandy I’ve only ever heard of that being done to them sprints so don’t add water to rum
Isn't one shot just the lid
Kraken is a great rum, just needs ice. 😊
They definitely like a drink
hey, mate love the vids. whats your PO box my dad has made something i want you to review it please

“Why is the rum gone” ⚔️
This is my favourite drink with coke ever
Fair play for raising down the Connor McGregor whiskey video. Seen a lot of people doing shots of that kraken seems to be popular

Amazing rum, had a bottle when I had a bbq and got very drunk
SHADOW DEMON182 try old j mate, miles better.
mixer best tasted neat mate
It's lovely in coffee June by the way
This video was good value for money.
Do a review of kraken and milk
Plantain rum is my favourite
There's a cheaper version that's made from poorly Octupuss ink... It's only six quid... SICK SQUID 😂😂😂

Hey June there is a drink over here that sounds like what you are describing called a MUDSLIDE
Just looked this up, sound delicious. I'll have to give it a try. Thank you

By far the best alcoholic drink to mix with coke for me
They it with cranberry juice!!@
I prefer to mix it with ketamine myself
@@FormulaOneFan98 LMFAO
Tomorrow morning "blue van man" not going to be in work today i am sick °°°°°°°°(i am hung like a pig) drank the whole bottle its is so good sorry

@@BlueVanMan My pleasure! Have a great night.
June is well funny

Legend
Try the cinnamon challenge bvm.
If it was whiskyish it would be whisky. Can't argue with that logic
And thanks to kraken ginge has a sibling on the way
Straight from the bottle haha
Suuuuuuuuuuperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Try Old J, Old J with coke is a million times better than Kraken. You can get it at Asda or amazon.
Ur having a bubble mate old j better than the kraken " old j taste like a captain Morgan kraken far superior in every department
Troy Jarvis 100% disagree mate, old j 1st, captain morgan is decent but not as good as old J and Kraken, I’d drink it if I had nothing else...
Now I know ur taking the piss captain Morgan decent ! It taste like chemicals with vanilla
Troy Jarvis would be a very boring world if we all agreed mate
Yep guess we got different taste buds
Yes! here we go can't get enough of bvm!
Legend!!!
