LIQUOR BRAND:
Only one brand comes to mind when it comes to Kustom Kulture, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum. Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum is brewed out of respect for Norman Collins, aka Sailor Jerry. “If you don’t think you have [salty term for male anatomy] enough to wear a tattoo, don’t get one. But don’t try to make excuses for yourself by knocking the fellow who does!” Signed, “Thank you...Sailor Jerry,” this note was placed prominently in Jerry’s Hotel Street shop and it gives you some idea of the attitude that he brought to his work. He was aware that his clientele weren’t miscreants just out to paint the town red, they were men serving a higher cause. Or as he put it, “The tattooed barbarians that live and die on world battlegrounds.” Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum was developed after loads of historical research into maritime rums. The all-natural spices and flavors we chose give our rum a rich, smooth taste characterized by top notes of vanilla and cinnamon. More than anything else, it’s our spicing that’s responsible for the distinctive character, smoothness and versatility. It is an honor to present this year’s Ink-n-Oil liquor choice to Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum.
