Product Description

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. 37.5% ABV.

Love it, this is my second bottle since the first one didn't last long. Celebrating a 40th, so I had to get another one to enjoy more slowly. Thank you!

Love the bloody stuff, I discovered it when on holiday in St Ives 2 years ago, it turned me into a rum drinker, I have tried others since which are just not as good, if I could make a suggestion, why not conduct tours of the operation and have a shop on site.

The biggest compliment I can pay this bottle is that it didn’t last long! Great drink, great story, and the wax is visually delicious too!

This is the best dark spiced rum I have tasted! Lovely with cherry coke or ginger ale. I won't be drinking any other spiced rum going forward

Last year we stumbled across your store in st Ives. My partner loves a dark rum and had bought a sample bottle, to which he loved. I have recently purchased it for his birthday and he was very happy. He’s sitting here watching his team enjoying a wee dram of crusty juggler. Leighann and Robert Glasgow

The Crusty Juggler Barrel Aged Black Spiced Rum is so smooth and the spices scream Christmas! However, it’s so moorish unfortunately it won’t last till Christmas (so I’ll need to get some more 😉).

Brought this as part of rum based meal, excellent on it's own, with ginger beer and stunning as part of the marinade for our main course.

Now i have found you direct i shall keep my supply topped up whenever i can. Just love it ( maybe a little too much !! )

Crusty Juggler Barrel Aged Black Spiced Rum

I was recommended this by James from the Facebook group “for the love of rum” and cannot thank him enough. The product is first class and has an amazing flavour profile reminiscent of my nans spiced fruit cake. My sister who is not a rum drinker also loves it and she calls it Christmas in a glass. We both will certainly be purchasing again. Keep up the great work.

Wanted to try this rum as it's from St Ives, Cornwall where I had a lot of family holidays over the years. It definitely beats a lot of other rums I've had, however, it doesn't quite beat Kraken rum. I will order again one day once I've run out
