Missing the old (and tasty) original Sailor Jerry rum flavour?

Someone pointed me in the direction of this rum on the "Save Sailor Jerry" Facebook page. As anyone who drinks it regularly knows they changed the recipe of Sailor Jerry just over a year ago and the new version lost a lot of the strong lime and vanilla flavour which made it so great.

Managed to bag a bottle of Admiral Vernon's Old J Spiced Rum (the one that was recommended as a replacement) and oh my, heaven in a bottle!

If anything I think it's slightly better than the original Sailor Jerry!

Anyway, worth checking out if you liked the original Sailor Jerry rum and have been missing it in your life. Sadly it's a pain in the rear end to get a hold of, I had to go 17 miles to find a shop stocking it up here but you can check out shops near you on the website http://www.oldjspicedrum.co.uk/index.html

Enjoy!

Hmmm the Whiskey Exchange @ Vinopolis stocks this at £18 a bottle. Right by where I work, could be worth a punt.

Cheers for the heads up.

And as for Kraken, never tried it? Is it quite easy to get hold off?

Go for it at that price, you won't see it any cheaper. It's about £24 online to buy and the place I got it was £18.99

Highly recommend it!
