    Item no.: 22227865479-1106-197278559

    Pineapple meets the navy rum heritage of Admiral Edward Vernon, the man who in 1740 came up with diluting sailors' rum with water to keep discipline up.

    Expert Description

    Admiral's Old J Spiced Pineapple is a Caribbean Rum from Signature Brands, flavoured with a blend of 11 ingredients centred on pineapple and bottled at 35%.

    The brand is named after Admiral Edward Vernon, an 18th-century British naval officer whose watered-down rum ration later became known as "grog" and gave rise to the tradition behind many spiced rums.

About Admirals Old J Rum

Admiral's Old J is a range of spiced rum from Admiral Vernon, based on Caribbean rum combined with a secret spice blend including sugar, vanilla and lime. For the newcomer it's an accessible, sweet entry point into spiced rum; for the connoisseur, the interest lies in the development process itself - it reportedly took more than 60 attempts to hit the right balance of sweetness and spice that now defines Old J's signature profile.

History & Background

Admiral's Old J rum is named in reference to British naval admiral Edward Vernon, known by the nickname "Old Grogram" or "Old Grog", the man who in 1740 introduced the famous "grog" - diluted rum - as a daily ration for British naval sailors. The brand builds on this maritime rum tradition with a modern, spiced interpretation, adding sugar, vanilla and lime to the Caribbean rum base. Developing the final flavour profile reportedly took more than 60 attempts before the team behind Old J was satisfied with the balance of sweetness and spice.

Production & Style

The rum is made as a blend of Caribbean rum distillates, spiced to recreate the character that historically defined the British Navy's rum ration.

Signature Style

Dark, Spiced, Rich
The flavor offers a dark, spiced character with notes of molasses and a hint of spice.
