The Kraken 2024 Legendary Survivor Series: The Lighthouse Keeper Limited Edition Rum is one of the most striking collector's releases ever produced by The Kraken. Combining the brand's iconic Black Spiced Rum with immersive storytelling, dramatic new artwork and a branded Kraken glass, this limited edition celebrates the first chapter in the Legendary Survivor Series.
Inspired by the mythical sea monster that gives the rum its name, The Lighthouse Keeper tells the story of one of the few people said to have survived an encounter with the fearsome Kraken. Presented in an eye-catching collector's gift tin designed to resemble a battered lighthouse lantern under attack from the beast, this release is as much a display piece as it is an exceptional bottle of spiced rum.
The Story Behind The Kraken Rum
The Kraken Black Spiced Rum has become one of the world's most recognisable premium spiced rums. Crafted using imported Caribbean rum and a closely guarded blend of thirteen spices, it is named after the legendary sea creature said to have dragged ships beneath the waves, staining the sea black with its ink.
Presented in its distinctive Victorian-style flagon bottle, The Kraken has built a loyal following thanks to its rich, dark flavour profile and imaginative storytelling. The Legendary Survivor Series expands on that mythology, bringing to life fictional tales of those who escaped the beast, with each annual release expected to feature a new survivor and a new chapter in the legend.
If you're exploring premium spiced rum or looking for an unusual collectable bottle, The Kraken continues to stand apart thanks to its distinctive presentation and unmistakable character.
The Lighthouse Keeper Edition
The Kraken Legendary Survivor Series: The Lighthouse Keeper is the first release in the annual Legendary Survivor Series. Illustrated by artist Justin Estcourt, it tells the dramatic story of a lighthouse keeper whose life is forever changed after a terrifying encounter with the Kraken itself.
Inside the bottle is the classic Kraken Black Spiced Rum, matured in bourbon casks and infused with a proprietary blend of exotic spices. The whisky-like depth of the rum is complemented by notes of caramel, chocolate, cinnamon, clove and molasses, while the presentation includes a branded Kraken glass that completes the gift set.
For collectors of limited-edition spirits, fans of maritime folklore or anyone who appreciates imaginative packaging, this is one of the standout Kraken releases to date.
Tasting Notes: The Kraken Black Spiced Rum
Nose: Rich vanilla, toffee apples, cinnamon and warming spices, with hints of lime zest and dark caramel.
Palate: Full-bodied and velvety, with molasses, golden syrup, dark chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, charred oak and rich spice.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering vanilla, peppery spice, oak and dark caramel sweetness.
The Kraken's rich spice profile makes it equally enjoyable neat, over ice or mixed into bold rum cocktails.

In cocktails: Excellent in a Dark 'n' Stormy, Rum Old Fashioned or Espresso Rum Martini.
