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.
This new rum lacks flavor, balance and depth. It also lacks any enjoyment factor. As to adding sugar and vanilla doesn't wash as this 'new' drink is light on the lime. I have to agree this is a bad joke, sad days.
I'm a barman and the flavour change have actually ruined the menu. There was a bluebery daiquary with lime, vanilla gomme, funkin blueberry and the proper Sailor J. Ruined by the paler, chemical after tasting, cheaper to make bad rum. I was hoping it was a "Classic Coke" type publicity stunt. Haven't heard 1 good comment about it.
yep them changing the recipe is just like telling a bad joke it leaves a nasty taste in your mouth
