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.
Used to be a favourite of mine. Won't touch the stuff now.
New recipe is a disaster, what was an excellent flavoursome spiced rum has been ruined. PLEASE PLEASE lets have the original version back. I'm off to Lamb's as I hear thats very good and I'm petitioning Sainsbury's to stop carrying SJ
Up until recently you could still buy the old recipe online..can't seem to find it anywhere!! I'm certainly not wasting my money on the new recipe...it's horrible!!
When the original Sailor Jerry came out I was in heaven. Me and the missus got through a bottle a week between us - then they changed it and we don't like it! After month's of drinking Morgan's Spice as the (sadly) next-best alternative Lamb's have finally come out with Lamb's Spiced and it's gorgeous (and cheaper!) I hope it blows the new Sailor Jerry clean off the shelves. I'll switch back when the SJ recipe does and not before!
lambs spiced will be going up hugely in popularity all thanks to the people at sailor jerry who really should have done there research better. people loved the old recipe of sailor jerrys me included they should have left it well alone.
