Sailor Jerry is a very popular spiced rum, created by blending vanilla, lime & spices with Caribbean rum. This is the old version, which many people seem to prefer. Please note that this IS the old version, ONLY TWO BOTTLES PER CUSTOMER!

The recipe in America and throughout the world remains the same, It's only in the UK that is has changed. Made by Grants I think...

So the bartenders wanted a SJ rum for cocktails - OK but what about your regular, loyal customers who bought the original rum for its unique taste. The 'new' formula is nothing special and as for condescending comments suggesting we add our own sugar, lime and vanilla to taste. Back to Morgans Spiced and the new Lambs Spiced in preference to the new formula. SJ has lost a large family of rum drinkers. BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL UK RECIPE!!

i am absolutly disgusted with the change in sailor jerry rum i can not believe that even with all the pettitions and complaints that have been made they still think it is a good idea. im open to change but there a certain things in life that should b respected! i personally refuse to buy a bottle of the new stuff but i have been informed that its dreadful. i think every1 should boycott the new sailor jerry recipe and see where that leaves them then.

New recipe is awful, tastes like a cheap dark rum and is not a patch on the the original! I am now down to my last bottle my beloved sailor jerry original and am gutted that despite searching high and low I cannot find anymore anywhere!!! I hope you get some more in stock but hope even more the original receipe returns ASAP!!! :((

Avoid this drink the recipe has changed for the worse and its more like a cheap version of captain morgans. Old recipe was a unique treat this is awful.
- Asher, 10th Apr '10
Disappointed to the point of feeling gutted, the old recipe was a unique drink, this new stuff just tastes like any generic brand rum
- Matty - Stoke on Trent, 8th Apr '10
I only drink this and Havana Club Especial.I thought they had only changed the label.I will not be buying this again. I hate it.It tastes of exactly the kind of rum that I hate. Of which there are many.Could it be a marketing ploy?You don't miss something till it's gone???Puzzled

The new version is BAD very BAD. It in no way resembles the original delicious SJ. I will not be buying the new one and like others will fight to get the old one back.
- anonymous, 1st Apr '10
I, like the thousands of other fans out there, will continue to reason and fight for the old recipe to be produced again and will not give up hope. Is it not possible that both the old and new version can be sold? Please bring back the old version as we all miss it and love it dearly! Sailors who love Vanilla and Lime!

And now a few months after being first introduced to the wonderful blend, it has changed dramatically and is now, to put it lightly, disgusting and unpleasant. I have no doubt that the old recipe would have continued to grow from strength to strength if it had been given the opportunity,but unfortunately this was prematurely abandoned and replaced with 'plain' substitute.

So it may be true that the company has gained a new bunch of consumers. However, the fan base that already existed and showed loyalty to the brand are now turning their back on what was once a unique and rich flavoured liquer. I was only introduced to Sailor Jerry last summer and from the first taste i was blown away at how fantastic this recipe was. It was like nothing i had ever tasted before!
