Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum

Sailor Jerry was a naval man and a tattoo artist who helped establish tattooing as a valid form of expression and mainstreamed the art by way of other sailors in Hawaii. The bottle features some of Sailor Jerry's tattoos a swallow and a Hulu dancer. Interesting container but not as interesting as what's inside of this bottle

Sailor Jerry’s is a very flavorful spiced rum with a note of cherry ringing above the rest. Do not take it as Captain Morgan’s bland spice mix bombarded with vanilla, it has flavor depth. Some of the flavor notes that come through are sugar, clove, cinnamon, vanilla, a hint of chocolate, and maybe a hint of nutmeg. It does mix well with coke which is how 90% of spiced rum is consumed. The higher alcohol content, 92 proof, brings this superb rum to the next level. It’s around the same price as Captain Morgan’s, so give it a try next time the urge of spiced rum calls.

A/$15 per 750 ml/www.sailorjerry.com
