Original Spiced
Crusty Juggler Black Spiced Rum is made from our superb aged Caribbean base rum, blended with black strap molasses, Demerara sugar, cinnamon bark, cloves, whole vanilla pods, ginger and orange peel. The rum is then aged further in ex-Bourbon whiskey casks where it takes on characters of American oak including subtle coconut and wood char. We then bottle, label, wax and stamp by hand with the seal of the Crusty Juggler.

Coffee & Cacao
Blended with coffee beans from Yallah roastery in Falmouth and Peruvian Cacao, our new rum is rich and bold with notes of roasted coffee, creamy vanilla, and fruity dark chocolate. Like our other rums, Crusty Coffee & Cacao is a rum first and foremost, so expect lashings of rich rummy goodness nestled in with the robust flavours of earthy coffee beans and creamy chocolate.

Black Strap Pineapple
We use whole, fresh pineapples, skins n' all. Chop them down and combine them with dry Demerara sugar, then leave them to work for 3-4 days for the sugar to extract all of the flavour from the fruit. The resulting golden pineapple syrup is then blended with our aged Caribbean rum and lashings of black strap molasses to form this spectacular spirit!

Our Story

The Origins
In 1894, Elizabeth Johns opened a grocery store in her front room in St Ives, Cornwall. Her husband, a fisherman, had drowned at sea and she was now the sole provider for her five children. Fortunately, the shop was successful, and over the years it passed through the generations, each proprietor adding their own spin to the business.
Fast forward 120 years and the store passes down to Elizabeth's great, great grandchildren - Tom and Sam Hanson. They transform the shop into a specialist alcohol retailer with hundreds of gins, whiskies and rums. In 2021, after spotting a gap in the market, they launch Crusty Juggler - Cornwall's first Black Spiced rum...
The Legend
Long ago, in the days of smugglers and pirates, there was a legend among the Cornish folk – the legend of the Crusty Juggler. In the pubs and inns across the county, sailors would tell tale of a man in rags atop the treacherous rocks of the coastline, juggling lengths of flaming driftwood with his salt-encrusted hands.
Accounts varied but all agreed on one thing: once you saw the Juggler, you were hell-bound for the rocks!
But despite what many thought, the Juggler wasn’t out for blood, nor was he interested in gold, what he craved lay in barrels deep in the belly of the ships that he wrecked: the finest rum slowly-aged, smuggled from the Caribbean.
Over the years, the stories faded into legend, the legend faded into myth. But among a select few the spirit of the Crusty Juggler lives on...
