Global fast food powerhouse KFC has embarked on an innovative collaboration with the United Kingdom’s Cornwall-based rum brand, Dead Man’s Fingers, to introduce an exclusive creation: the 11 Herbed and Spiced Rum.
In a pioneering venture into the realm of spirits, KFC has partnered with Dead Man’s Fingers to craft a limited-edition libation, the 11 Herbed and Spiced Rum.
This groundbreaking creation seamlessly intertwines the distinct flavors of the Cornish-inspired rum brand with KFC’s proprietary blend of secret herbs and spices. Although the precise details of KFC’s Colonel’s recipe remain undisclosed, the culinary alchemists behind this endeavor have meticulously balanced various herbs and spices, including the harmonious marriage of black and white pepper, within the framework of KFC’s renowned golden breading. Infused with the essence of Dead Man’s Fingers spiced rum, this novel tipple exudes delightful undertones of creamy caramel, vanilla, treacle toffee, and nutmeg.
To herald the launch of this remarkable collaboration, a special event is set to take place on September 1st and 2nd. Enthusiasts will have the opportunity to savor this limited-edition rum at a vibrant pop-up establishment, the Chicken and Rum Shack, situated in the scenic locale of Margate. Attendees will be treated to delectable offerings of complimentary chicken, perfectly paired with Dead Man’s Fingers-approved cocktails such as Zinger Punch, The Colonel’s Colada, and Fingers Lickin’ Good, all meticulously crafted with Dead Man’s Fingers rum.
While KFC is venturing into the spirits arena for the first time with this unique collaboration, the brand showcased its innovative spirit last year by inaugurating a London-based pub as a celebratory nod to the men’s World Cup.
