Sailor Jerry is a spiced rum created by the famed tattoo artist and sailor 'Sailor Jerry' Collins. This is perhaps our favourite spiced rum, it makes an incredible spiced mojito!
We know that some of you out there aren't so keen on the new Sailor Jerry recipe. You can correct the flavour of the new version very easily by adding some dark sugar and vanilla essence to the bottle and giving it a good shake - it really does work!
Vanilla spice, butter, oak, cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger. Drying and sweet on the palate with notes of winter spice and black pepper, toffee.
new recipe is much like other spiced rum although morgans is now nicer,old recipe was unique and had a completely different taste to the new one.why oh why couldnt they leave it alone.i wont be buying the new one again.
This new recipe is absolutely Vile, the sooner first drinks listen and change it back the better!!!
No-one I know who drank the old Sailor Jerry has anything good to say at all about the 'New Recipe'. Apparently more than one competing distillery have already had earnest talks at board level about back-engineering the flavour of the old recipe and launching it as a completely new product. What were William Grant thinking when they messed with this promising, emerging brand? Will make a great case study for this year's Marketing undergraduates on how NOT to do things.
Older recipe was so much better! if only the people at sailor jerrys would listen to what people want instead of changing the recipe, which the majority of people i have spoken to prefer by far.
you are referring to the old recipe I presume, the new one's vanilla taste is MUCH more subtle, and less sweet. Definitely prefer the old recipe.
