Description

Kraken Black Spiced Rum Dark Caramel and Cornish Sea Salt is a bold and indulgent expression that combines the legendary Kraken Black Spiced Rum with the luxurious flavours of dark caramel and Cornish sea salt. Inspired by maritime folklore and Cornwall’s rugged coastline, it delivers a rich balance of sweet caramel, warming spice and subtle savoury notes.

Building on the mythology that surrounds the infamous sea beast, this distinctive release tells the tale of a group of 19th-century smugglers who landed at the historic Port of Penzance carrying barrels of Caribbean rum alongside precious stores of dark caramel. Fearing the monstrous Kraken said to haunt the waters, they hid their valuable cargo deep within a secluded Cornish sea cave.

As the years passed, the forgotten barrels were exposed to crashing waves and salty sea air. Local legend claims that the rich caramel blended with the Caribbean rum while Cornish sea salt slowly found its way into the casks, creating an entirely new flavour worthy of the Kraken’s fearsome reputation.

Originally introduced in 2024 as a limited-edition release, Kraken Black Spiced Rum Dark Caramel and Cornish Sea Salt quickly became a favourite among rum enthusiasts. Its popularity secured a permanent place within the Kraken range, combining the brand’s signature dark spiced character with an indulgent dessert-inspired twist.

At its heart is Kraken’s iconic Caribbean black spiced rum, crafted from molasses-based rum and infused with a secret blend of spices. Layers of dark caramel, burnt sugar, rich treacle, smooth vanilla and a touch of Cornish sea salt create a beautifully balanced spirit that is both rich and surprisingly smooth.
