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.
Completely and absolutely gutted that they changed it. Quite new to rum drinking - a friend introduced me to Jerry's (old style) which I loved. Year or so later went on to treat myself to a bottle and it's the crappy new stuff. Gutted.
I like the new better the most rums.. But the old sound so Good. I think the limited edtion 100 year labels. needs old recipe in them.
the "improved" sailor jerry will have gone past all expectations because its in all the shops/supermarkets,the old (much better) one could only be brought online from waitrose and one pub if you lived in the nottingham area..
After drinking the old stuff by the bucket load I was disappointed with the newer apparently original recipe as it says on the bottle. Nasty. In fact it was that bad I gave 60 quid for a bottle of the good stuff of eBay a few months ago to reminisce. Christmas in a few days and thankfully today I found Lamb's Spiced in an off sales after months of looking everywhere after hearing everyone talking about it. Had never tasted it, but tonight I've had a couple of glasses and must say, it's good stuff. Not as good as the old SJ's, but better than everything else in shops. Thinking I'm converted. We'll see after these 2 bottles are gone
does anyone know if you can buy the sweet, vanilla sailor jerry on the internet?? that one was soo much nicer and I want it!
