Sailor Jerry spiced rum

[srob]

I've only really tried Morgans spiced rum before, but I received a bottle of Sailor Jerry's for chrimbo.

Bit more 'grown up' tasting than Morgan's; it's lovely!

[littlegreenfairy]

Oh it is very VERY good. Am quite a fan.

[KASM]

Nice hints of lime and vanilla, a nice drink indeed

[bazking69]

Very nice indeed. I've always got a bottle in the cabinet.

Lovely on a summers day over orange juice and plenty of ice.

[Wadeski]

Its very good stuff, and seems to be everywhere these days. I think its best with ginger ale and lime, its too sweet to go with Coke.

better than morgans yes, but i also find a slap in the face better than a full on punch.

for £1 more, buy appletons vx, the difference is astounding. if you want that 'spiced' taste with a mixer, make a cuba libre using tesco almond coke.

[bazking69]

Almond coke? Is that slang for Dr Pepper or do I need to have a browse down the drinks aisle next time I am shopping?

[LilCat]

Love the stuff!

But is it me or does it smell like cream soda when mixed with coke?

Almond Coke?? Sounds delicious!!

yup, Tesco almond coke. they only do diet but its pretty goid as diet goes and its only about 45p for 2l. look for a yellow label.

fking awful stuff!

Goslings or Appletons for me

Sailor Jerry's is going to be re-released with a new even more retro label and a slightly different taste. I saw a bottle of it whilst out last night. If any of you rum lovers are based in Manchester, I suggest you visit Keko Moku in the Northern Quarter which is a Tiki Bar and stocks loads of different rums.

Got into it a few months ago, love the stuff.
My personal mixer of choice is ginger beer. Sounds a bit girly, but tastes lovely...

Not tried it yet - Appletons seems interesting too. Trip in order to Oddbins, me thinks.

Salior Jerrys, coke and a squeeze of fresh lime -

How much for a bottle of the Black Seal Goslings, juice?

Edit - Seems available online for around £19.

Black Seal is about $28 here (for a litre) - 750ml a bit less I think...about $24.

Overproof (151) is $35/$38 ish (depends on which store/off-license you go to)

Old Rum is about $75.

Didn't realise you are living outside the UK! Locally made then too?

I'm going to order a bottle of Goslings, if I fail to find a stockist locally.

[juice]

Ha Ha - yeah. When they say its the national drink they mean it (although Carlsberg Elephant Beer runs it very close )

There are other Rums for sale here, but unsurprisingly they don't get much of a look in.
