Kronan Swedish Punsch

KRONAN Swedish Punsch is a classic rum liqueur with a history dating back to 1733 when Swedish sailors first encountered Batavia Arrack, an Indonesian sugarcane molasses distillate/Rum on the Island of Java. They brought this spirit back to Sweden, blending it with sugar, water and citrus creating the beverage now known as Swedish Punsch. KRONAN, a brand revived in 2012 from a request from Eric Seed of Haus Alpenz to Swedish master blender Henrik Facile, the creator of the acclaimed Facile Punsch, served on several occasions at the Nobel Price Award dinners in Stockholm, with the aim to bring this historic tipple back to prominence, particularly in the American market where it was a key cocktail ingredient before Prohibition. The brand is known for using a blend of Batavia Arrack along with aged rums from Guyana and Jamaica, resulting in a complex flavor profile featuring notes of toffee, smoke, and leather, making it a versatile component for both classic and modern cocktails, or simply enjoyed on its own.

KRONAN Swedish Punsch, a historic concoction born from Batavia Arrack and aged Caribbean rums, offers a captivatingly complex profile of spice, a touch of funk, and dark sugar notes. It's surprisingly versatile, adding an intriguing layer to classic rum cocktails like a Daiquiri or Mai Tai, and truly sings in concoctions like the Doctor Cocktail or Diki-Diki. Think of it as a secret handshake for your home bar, bringing a distinctive depth and a whisper of far-off lands to your cocktail ingredients repertoires.

KRONAN Swedish Punsch offers a complex aroma of spice, caramel, and dried orange. Upon tasting, you'll find flavors of molasses, allspice, and brown sugar, with a rum-like character that includes notes of vanilla and leather. The finish is long and spicy, with lingering burnt sugar and vanilla.
