    Named after tattoo artist Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins, this bottle carries his style forward, bold, colourful and rooted in old maritime tradition.

    Expert description

    Sailor Jerry Spiced is a Caribbean Spirit Drink spiced with natural spices and bottled at 40%.

    The rum is produced in the US Virgin Islands and owned by the Scottish spirits company William Grant & Sons, which acquired the brand in 2008. The recipe draws on the old maritime tradition of sailors improving the flavour of their rum ration by adding spices, and the added sugar used in production means the product cannot be sold as rum but must legally be labelled Spirit Drink.

About Sailor Jerry Spirit Drink

Sailor Jerry is distilled as a spiced rum-based spirit drink drawing on the maritime, slightly rebellious spirit of Norman Collins's life and art. Its spiced, accessible profile has made it a popular choice in cocktails calling for a robust, characterful rum base.

History & Background

Norman "Sailor Jerry" Collins was an American tattoo artist who became legendary for his style and went on to shape modern tattoo art, partly through his student and protégé Ed Hardy.
