A punch of flavour

After a successful few years, Crusty Juggler welcomes a brand-new addition to its increasingly popular range of rums.

Having launched Cornwall’s first black spiced rum back in 2021, the chaps at Crusty Juggler Rum have added another flavour to their range for the 2023 season – Black Strap Pineapple.

Launching at Porthleven Food Festival last month, the first batch of the new flavour was available for sampling at Crusty Juggler’s trader stand – the feedback was overwhelmingly positive: “It was great to see the reactions of the first customers to try the pineapple rum,” explains Co-Founder Tom Hanson. “We wanted to create a product that was bursting with pineapple flavour but that wasn’t too sweet and sickly. Based on the feedback, I think we’ve achieved that.”

Porthleven Food Festival was the first event of the year for the family-run rum company who will also be the exclusive rum sponsor for the St Ives Food and Drink Festival in mid-May and north Cornwall’s Rock Oyster Festival in late July. “The St Ives Food Fest is our home festival and holds a special place in our hearts,” Tom continues. “We’re returning this year with some new products and some exciting new cocktails. Rock Oyster Fest is a new one for us but something we’ve wanted to be a part of for a long time. We couldn’t be more excited!”

Crusty Juggler will also be leading cocktail masterclasses at both festivals, where attendees have the opportunity to sample the range and learn how to make a number of Crusty’s signature cocktails. There will also be a talk about the origins of the brand and how the rum is produced at the team’s facility near St Ives.

So, what’s in store for Crusty Juggler for the rest of 2023? “In addition to St Ives and Rock Oyster, we’re also sponsoring a number of high-profile events throughout Cornwall,” says Tom. “There might also be one or two more products heading your way before the year’s out!”
