MADE THE OLD-SCHOOL WAY. 40% ABV. BOLD AND SMOOTH AS HELL. Our recipe is based on the tradition of sailors improving their rum rations’ flavour. Generally, there were two ways to take the edge off rum: Age the liquid in wooden casks, which sailors rarely did, or blend in spices, which most sailors did, as do we. Sailor Jerry was an exacting craftsman. His tattoos were precise, bold and flawless. Even the riggings on his clipper ship tattoos were accurate.
We craft our rum to a similar standard, scavenging for the best Caribbean rums to make Sailor Jerry Spiced. The carefully chosen rums are blended to create the ideal base for our natural spices’ recipe. Our higher proof spirit is historically accurate. In fact, “proof” comes from how sailors assured their rum rations weren't watered down. The ship's captain would ladle out a sample from the day's rum barrel in front of the men. He'd douse it with gunpowder, then give it a spark — if the rum was full strength, the powder ignited, giving sailors “proof” of their rum’s integrity. This tradition of spicing high proof rum creates a uniquely bold, smooth and balanced liquid – perfect for your favourite cocktails.
