Today, The Kraken has unleashed a beastly new indulgence upon its loyal followers, adding Kraken Dark Caramel and Cornish Sea Salt into its treasure trove of rum relics.
A rich infusion of black spiced Caribbean rum, dark caramel and a hint of Cornish sea salt, the limited edition flavour will plunge those tempted to try it into the sensory indulgence of alluring toffee notes and a buttery vanilla finish.
The tale goes that on one ink blank eve in the 19th Century, seafaring smugglers moored in the Port of Penzance, aboard a boat loaded with Caribbean rum and a recently discovered delicacy – barrels of dark caramel from Arabia. Stashing the barrels in a hidden cave, the smugglers were all set to bring the illicit goods inland at dawn. But after the smugglers returned to the boat, a dark force seemingly emerged from the water, watching ominously as the smugglers sailed back into the moonlight. Centuries later and from years of hungry waves lapping away at one tired barrel, the sweet, viscous contents managed to escape. Mixing with the salty Cornish Sea and stashed dark rum below, it is in this way that a legendary flavour was born.
Not to be confined to any one season, Kraken Dark Caramel and Cornish Sea Salt is as tempting in the shadows of the blazing sun as it is on a dark winter’s night. For a more refreshing serve, pour Kraken Dark Caramel and Cornish Sea Salt straight over ice, or as the darker autumnal nights draw in, enjoy the following comforting concoction:
- Pour 50ml of Kraken Dark Caramel and Cornish Sea Salt
- Top up with 150ml of hot chocolate
- Finish with whipped cream
Kraken Dark Caramel and Cornish Sea Salt (RRP £26) is available to purchase from today online at Amazon.co.uk and House of Spirits and will launch in-store at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons in September.
