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
  • Keep in mind: Thin, short finish
  • Keep in mind: Artificial vanilla

The look inside the bottle

How does William Grant & Sons Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum taste?

From community reviews · summarized with AI

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"

Strongly caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch. However, very short-lived.

Well, we have a spiced rum here. I find it quite okay, there are worse spiced rums. You can taste the cinnamon quite well. Mixed with cola it probably makes a great long drink.

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.

07.2024 First impression: beautiful, clear brown-golden color, otherwise unimpressive Nose: light, fleeting, a bit of vanilla Palate: scratchy, sharp, roasted Finish: medium length, bitter at the end Overall impression: weak, impresses with nothing, not even the spices. Will leave the bottle at the next party. Rating lowered to 5.5. 2022 Rated 60 without comment

Rum, or vanilla spice liqueur? Goes great with Coke as many who went to university in the 00s/10s will remember.

Not used to spiced rums, but this one didn't impress me. Even spiced it is a bit too sharp, burny and astringent to me. Smells better, sweeter and milder than it tastes, where it the spice is a bit too much and contributes to rather than tames the alcoholic burn. Butterscotch, caramel and vanilla on the nose. Spicy, coffee and oily on the palate. Forgetable finish with too much burn. Will not buy again.

A slightly fruity flavor, light sweetness. In the aroma something like corn whiskey.a dry finish.

I will say for a spiced rum I was expecting more flavor, the vanilla is subtle and artificial like. Also feels a bit alcoholic.

William Grant & Sons Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum: a fairly basic spiced rum. Not bad, but without much originality. I don't necessarily recommend it if you're looking for something more distinctive.
