Black Shuck Spiced Rum Miniature
In stock
The finest Caribbean Rum has been redistilled and blended at the North Norfolk Distillery, with a unique collection of botanical spices. The result is a smooth rum which comes to life with warm spicy notes of cinnamon and ginger softened by rich tones of caramel and vanilla with a subtle citrus finish.
Black Shuck is one of the oldest English Legends about a huge ghostly spirit dog with a black shaggy coat and flaming red eyes, which is said to roam the East Anglian countryside and beyond. The legend dates back hundreds if not thousands of years. No one knows for sure where Black Shuck came from but there are plenty of theories and as the years have passed, like all legends, the stories have become more and more elaborate.
Some tales recall that Black Shuck acts as a protector to lone women, or as a guide to lost travellers. One such tale tells of a family travelling in their car at night along the Norfolk coast. Out of nowhere a huge black dog appeared in their path blocking their onward journey for several minutes. The dog disappeared as quickly as he arrived and the family continued their journey only to discover a short distance on that a huge land slip had occurred and if their path had not been blocked they would almost certainly have been hurt.
