William Grant & Sons Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum
Most people land on the same verdict: this is a cinnamon-and-vanilla spiced rum built for cola, not the tasting glass. Members taste caramel, brown sugar and butterscotch up front, but a lot of them call the vanilla artificial and the finish thin and short. One reviewer nailed it as "vanilla-cherry cola." Fine for a Cuba Libre, underwhelming neat.
The community says- Great with cola
- But: Thin, short finish
- But: Artificial vanilla

How does William Grant & Sons Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum taste?
Aggregated from 135 community reviews.
Cinnamon-vanilla spiced rum, best in cola Opinion is fairly settled: an okay basic spiced rum that shines in cola and falls flat sipped neat, where the finish turns thin and a bit hot.

Sweet and spicy. Great with cola, as it's short. Smooth and a personal favourite. As many prophets and heroes have said in the past- "a great bit of kit"

Stark nach Karamell, vanille und butterscotch. Allerdings sehr kurzatmig
Review by Timo Groeger
Na ja, wir haben hier einen spiced Rum. Ich finde ihn ganz ok, gibt schlechtere soiced Rums. Man kann den Zimtgeschmack ziemlich gut rausschmecken. Mit Cola gemischt ergibt dad bestimmt einen super Longdrink.
Review by Josh Word
I've only had it with coke several years ago so i will have to give it another try. But i did enjoy it.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
07.2024 Erster Eindruck: schöne, klare braungoldene Farbe, ansonsten unbeeindruckend Nase: leicht, flüchtig, bisschen Vanille Gaumen: kratzig, scharf, röstig, Abgang: mittellang, zum Ende bitter Gesamteindruck: schwach, beeindruckt mit nichts, nicht mal den Gewürzen. Die Flasche lasse bei der nächsten Party stehen. Bewertung auf 5,5 gesenkt. 2022 Unkommentiert mit 60 bewertet

Kann man für ein Cuba Libre benutzen
Review by Patrik Onderka
I got this one on my visit in Dubrovnik. Well, it’s spiced. I just wanted to try it because I didn’t have William Grant yet. To be honest it met my low expectations. I think it’s an ideal choice for mixology experiments.

Für Mische super
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
There's probably something better available whereever you are. Very light and not much character.
Review by Fred SB
Rum, or vanilla spice liqueur? Goes great with Coke as many who went to university in the 00s/10s will remember.
Review by Abrahan Reyes
I will say for a spiced rum I was expecting more flavor, the vanilla is subtle and artificial like. Also feels a bit alcoholic.
Review by Montana
A slightly fruity flavor, light sweetness. In the aroma something like corn whiskey.a dry finish.
Review by Mark Leggett
Smells of cinnamon and alcohol. Flavor follows the smell. Unmixed this always gives me a headache.
Review by Carlo C
Though strong alcoholic tinges, the taste and smell definitely are there to stay
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
As expected i am not impressed. Okay for mixing.
Review by Clint Harris
A good basic spiced rum
Review by tj deel
Generic spiced rum overrated and overpriced
Review by Thefrenchagave
William Grant & Sons Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum : un rhum épicé assez basique. Pas mauvais, mais sans grande originalité. Je ne le recommande pas forcément si vous cherchez quelque chose de plus distinctif.
Review by Oli Dekrell
Nase und Antrunk lecker, aber hinten raus leider zu dünn…
Review by Louis Britten
Standard with mixer if limited choices available.
