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.
loved the old sailor jerry and tried lambs spiced but i am now hooked on ADMIRAL VERNONS OLD J SPICED this stuff is probably as good if not better than the old recipe
I had been buying the 26 for the last couple of months because they were outta 40's now I buy a 40 and it tastes like sh**. Not a fan at all. You nee to change the recipe back. I hate it now. It has an orange under tone like grand marnier. GROSS. Kracken it will be if you don't change it back.
Bought first bottle of Lambs Spiced today,as an alternative to Sailor Jerry,Been trying to tell peeps for the last year that Sailor Jerry has changed,nobody will beleive me,must expose them to this site!!!.
They won't change it back. It was changed to streamline production and cut costs - easier to sell the US version to us (higher production run) than a more limited recipe as a UK only product. The current stuff is vile - no smell, virtually no taste and a horrid chemical after-taste. Wor Lass called it "spiced p***water". Even the new label is poor compared to the original. Fortunately, Lamb's Spiced is a very close second to the original recipe but not easy to get hold of - buying online is the only easy way to get it. However, another alternative is Vernon's Old J, which IMO is just a shade nicer than the original recipe SJ. Again, buying online is the only way to get it.
Disappointed Sailor Jerry fans should give Admiral Vernon's Old J a try....
