Thoughts on Sailor Jerry rum?

[alfa147x]

I really like it. Last night I had it with some ice and loved every last drop of it. Tonight I'm having it with coke and it's pretty good.

Is this cheap rum? middle of the road stuff? What other brands of rum should I try out?

 

[HAL9000]

Love it, drink it all the time.

 

[Iron Woode]

never tried it.

I do like Mount Gay Extra Old and Appleton Estates Extra Old.

 

[shortylickens]

Never had.
I like St Maarten Guavaberry.

 

[qliveur]

I like Ronrico.

 

[xSauronx]

my friends like it, but ive never had it

i dont drink rum often, but i like the captain morgan private stock. it makes a tasty, vanilla-coke like adult beverage.

You'll find the exact same thing with Sailor Jerry I prefer SJ to CM though.

 

[CaptnKirk]

Not a bad spiced rum, better than Pyrat, but not as good as Captain Morgan or Kraken.

Kraken is my favorite and my back-up is Captain.

In Coke or Ginger Ale with a splash of Chambord - but not more than a tablespoon.

I quite like Sailor Jerry, prefer it of Captain Morgan.

Never had it, though I rarely drink rum, and when I do it is usually with Coke. Mixes great with this cheap rum:

I prefer Captain Morgan but SJ is tasty in its own right.

 

[SearchMaster]

Oh, and to answer one of the OPs questions, it's not expensive at all. BevMo.com has it at the same price as CM ($21/handle) though I've found it to be 10-20% more expensive than CM around here.

I'm fond of Pussers.

My favorite is Kraken as well.

 

[GlacierFreeze]

Prefer Captain Morgan. Not too bad, though.

 

[purbeast0]

i like it but i prefer the taste of captain morgan.

they definitely have distinct different tastes.

captain morgan is my nickname.

 

[purbeast0]

i've never heard of kraken, how much does it cost for a litre or handle? i was oging to get a handle of captain morgan tonight but i may try that out instead if it's not too much (and if htey carry it)

 

[BTA]

Cheap version of Capt Morgan. Fine if that's what you're after.

Ever tried drinking a bit of Captain Morgan and Sailor Jerry straight? Captain tastes bland compared to Sailor Jerry.
