With boldness to stand out and the smoothness to blend in, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum makes one tasty drink, no matter how you like it. Just in time for the summer season, the legend returns to British Columbia, ready for warmer weather and casual summer hangs, with its signature spiced rum now back on shelves in local liquor stores, setting the tone for a bold summer of Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum cocktails.
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is a fearless spirit with notes of vanilla, warm spice, and a subtle oak finish. Inspired by the legacy of Norman Collins, the original Sailor Jerry, the rum draws from his time in Honolulu, where he built his reputation tattooing sailors and shaping a distinctive, rebellious visual style. That same no-nonsense attitude runs through every pour. Smooth and versatile, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum works effortlessly in simple mixed drinks or more expressive serves.
