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.
I drank the old recipe for years. It always reminded me of the holiday season with its spice. The new recipe was a jolt - very cherry. I won't be buying any more.
If you like many don't enjoy the new recipe, try the Kraken, a stunning rum on its way up.
Like the old recipe? Google "Admiral vernon Old J" as the name suggests it is made based on the original Sailor Jerries recipe and for roughly £20. Unsure whether or not it is available outside the UK but search around :) Enjoy!
I have been trying different spiced rums for the past couple of weeks. This rum I bought tonight at 92 proof 46% alcohol by volume. It's spices are kind of mellow & not over powering. After mixing a total of 200 ml of this rum with iced tea and equal, the buzz crept up on me. I am satisfied, I am high and or buzzed. Now I kind of want to go to sleep. Give it a try, tell us what you think.
ADMIRAL VERNONS OLD J SPICED IS THE ONE! FOR THOSE THAT ENJOYED THE OLD SAILOR JERRY'S RECIPE, YOU'LL HARDLY TASTE ANY DIFFERENCE!
