About This Spirit from the Maker
In the past, a ship's captain would take a ladle of rum, add gunpowder and ignite it to provide "proof" of the rum's integrity to his crew. Sailor Jerry continues this age-old tradition of serving quality spiced rum to provide an unmatched base for mixed drinks. The brand prides itself on creating spiced rum the old-school way, using an expert blend of carefully chosen spices in high-proof rum for a perfectly balanced liquid. Crafted after intensive research into historical maritime rums, Sailor Jerry has developed a smooth rum with a rich flavor. The result is a high-proof spirit that's perfect for mixing in your favorite cocktails, including Long Island Iced Teas, Mai Tais and Mojitos.

How We Feel About the Spirit
With its medium-dark golden hue, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum pours with purpose—rich and warm, like a well-worn leather armchair beside a glowing fire.
The aroma leaps from the glass with bold island spice, led by banana, brown sugar, and molasses, all backed by a swirl of vanilla, honey, and tropical fruit. Layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, and maple syrup rise as it opens, conjuring memories of spice cake and rum-soaked fruit.
On the palate, it’s all about texture and contrast. Vanilla and coconut take the lead, smoothed by maple syrup and brown sugar, while whispers of pear and apple linger toward the back, creating a finish that’s just as creamy as it is complex. Hints of molasses ground the sweetness with depth, giving it a round, full-bodied mouthfeel that coats without cloying.
At around $30, Sailor Jerry strikes a confident balance: refined yet unpretentious, sweet but spirited. It’s big, it’s bold, but it never loses its composure. Whether poured over ice, mixed into tiki riffs, or paired with cola on a casual evening, it delivers flavor that punches above its price without forgetting its roots.
