  About Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum: Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum was born of the electric energy of 1940s Honolulu, a time when freedom from order and sheer joy of being alive was felt by sailors on shore leave. This energy rings true today. Because real life is loud, imperfect, and chaotic — why waste it being quiet? Sailor Jerry is the joyful clash of a free spirit finding its crowd. It’s fast talk and loud laughs, and all-out celebration. It’s the champion of unofficial arts that we scrawl on walls, tattoo proudly on our skin, and play at top volume. Sailor Jerry finds the noise and makes it louder, till it’s impossible to ignore, till the next table wants in. Sailor Jerry. Make it loud.
