Sailor Jerry Spiced Caribbean Rum

I have not been drinking out at bars, clubs and pubs for very long because of my age. So whilst at a celebration of the birth of one of my closest friends, I had to go through what was at that stage the agonizing process of ordering drinks at the bar. How do I know what to order? My birthday was six days ago? So I grabbed another friend and he ordered a rum and coke. So I leapt on that once my friend had gone and asked for the same. Now it took them about ten minutes to believe my ID but when they did, the barman asked a painful question. What rum do you want? My reply was in a quavering voice ... more

Over the weekend, I had a bit of a gathering at my house and of course alcohol was a big part so all guests brought something a long which was good to mix. Now, I have tried Sailor Jerry in the past as it was a drink I got suggested at a bar once and I loved it and ever since have always taken it when I’ve been out. One of my guests had a bottle of Sailor Jerry with him and I was very happy as I couldn’t believe someone else liked it just like me. PACKAGING Sailor Jerry is not an obvious bottle to spot on the shelf and is a drink that not a lot of people are familiar with when I mention it ... more

Why is this drink so popular? Is it because of the cool artwork on the bottle? The unique spiced taste that isn't replicated by any other rum? The high alcohol content?

The label features a picture of a not entirely clothed lady playing a ukulele for further manliness. The label is also pretty cool because on the back of it, as you drink your Jerry you'll reveal a piece of ... more

Why I like it I was first introduced to Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum at the party of a friend. She informed me that she bought it while on holiday in the U.S., so I took it that this liquid was like gold, and should be taken in moderation. It wasn't. So for a while, I'd given up hope of seeing it again -until it showed up in my local wines and spirits emporium. A solitary bottle. I snatched it up with the intention of passing it on to my friend. She never got it. Sailor Jerry Legend has it that this recipe is that of Tattoo King, Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, probably the most famous tattoo artist ... more

If you are like myself and not a big fan of rum, even the thought of it makes your face screw up, i feel your pain. However, Salior Jerry is not your conventional type of rum. It's eye catching design, well known name and tastetastic flavours makes it an ever growing popularity. Salior Jerry, for me, is one of the best kinds of rum i have tried. It is Sweet yet spicy, enough to hit those taste buds hard. For me the only way i can describe the flavours is by referring back to the "Drumstick Lolly Pops" If anyone can remember them. Certainly doesn't give the same affect as a lollypop, that is ... more
