Popular spiced rum Kraken is back from the deep with a new Black Cherry and Madagascan Vanilla infusion.

"In a futile attempt to ward off an imminent Kraken attack, those who occupy the shores of the Seven Seas and beyond have persisted with ancient and unavailing methods of hindering The Beast.

Myth has it that some crews insisted on sourcing crates of black cherries and vanilla pods from Madagascar to put in their hold. The delectable fusion was claimed to be a remedy for Kraken sucker bites, the freshness said to take away the foul poisons.

During a formidable Kraken attack a singular barrel of spiced rum became infused with Dark Cherry & Madagascan Vanilla.

That lost barrel is now ready to be savoured, if you dare!"
