Great price. No more spirits, the Mrs, nor the body will allow it.

Surprised the supermarkets sell any alcohol after xmas and new yr. everyone so sick of feeling hungover and with many swearing abstinence for at least a few weeks, who is left? Probably why we are seeing a deal like this.

I used to love this, but they ruined it when they changed the recipe a few years ago.
For all those who lament the passing of the original Sailor Jerry when they changed the recipe circa 2010, have you tried Old J Spiced Rum?
For those who haven't or who are not aware of it, Old J was unashamedly created about 3 years ago to fill the void the original Sailor Jerry left and was developed by one of the team involved with the Original Sailor Jerry.
Ordered from Amazon. £9.50 with NUS discount. Super Hot!
EDIT: 5% quidco to!

Like ma self a used to like Sailor Jerry with a little dash of coke and a wee slice of lime, like a snob as wis
a wee change fae the buckie and irn bru , until they changed the recipe about 5 plus years ago, crazy!!!
Well all is not lost try Asda's own Caribbean spiced rum (made in Holland) and at 12 quid a btl, a little dearer tho, but it taste just like the old Sailor Jerry folks with the vanilla taste, honest, a Scotsman knows his taste buds inside oot, u will not be disappointed muckers:{

Of all the spiced rums I've tried (cpt morgans, oakheart, lambs, kraken), this stuff is the nastiest.
In fact it's the only nasty one amongst them, I love the rest.

I agree with you on this. I think this brand needs a mixer (eg diet coke) with it to lesson the taste.

I second this. Old J is delicious, and definitely has the old taste of the original Sailor Jerry recipe.

They now do a "Gold" version, which at 40% is the strength of the original SJ as well, not had a chance to try it yet though...
Its only 35%, so technically it's not classed as being rum!! I'll stick with Captain Morgans Black or Kraken.

tried old j not impressed and as for that asda version horrible

Strange that, as old j is the exact same recipe as the old sailor jerry, only 5% weaker in strength

This isn't any special price for rum. I guess it's a good deal if you like the brand but personally I've never even heard of it
Baldricky
2 Jan 16#39
So help me out here with a few examples of offers on rum that you think are superior or at least marginally better?
From what I know, even supermarket own brand spirits at 40% ABV and aimed at the Jakie market retail at £11 for 70cl?
Baldricky
2 Jan 16#40
I don't think anyone would suggest that SJ or any of the other rums mentioned are anything other than general run of the mill everyday mixing and slooshing rums. For aged sipping rums you really are going to have to pay somewhat more. :wink:

Almost any 70cl bottle of liquor from Aldi is in the £10-13 range. Morrisons/Tesco frequently have sales of 37.5% Cpt Morgans Spice / 40% Russian Standard vodka for £15 a litre (comparison: this is ~£14.30 a litre for 35%)

When I asked for a few examples of comparable offers on equal or superior rums, I did not expect comparable to be translated into nothing but how much alcohol by volume can I get for my £.
That said, even your comparison which does not even take taste into account, does not deliver more alcohol to the £.

smh you're getting all uppity about saving 70 pence. How is it not a comparative offer? As a percentage of cost, the difference is negligible, but I'd rather buy the better tasting alcohol if it means paying a couple more pence per abv.
If you want real deals, I bought 2 litres of 120 proof Koskenkorva for £13 each, but it tasted like absolute paint stripper. By all means definitely worth it for the alc% but I'd much prefer paying an extra 70p to get something that's nice to drink straight
