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.
don't test market , don't explain, new sailor jerry,how to infuriate customers, then lose them : clever marketing or what!!!
Like everyone else I hate the new recipe and was gutted when it changed but now have discovered lambs spiced which is definately the new old sailor jerry :)
the growth of the sailor jerry rum has gone beyond all expectations since changing so most of these comments must be in the minority
It says something when I'd happily pay 100 pounds for an original recipe bottle than drink the new recipe as well as having 30000 fans on the petition page calling for the original drink to be released!
Still in mourning for the old recipe....I have about 2 shots left in my last bottle :( The only good news is that Lamb's Spiced IS pretty close in flavour to the old Sailor but I have only ever seen it behind a bar in Camden once. I believe some off licences sell it and maybe Waitrose though.
