In 1740 Admiral Edward Vernon Enforced a reduction in the strength of the British Navy’s Rum ration. When his men complained, Vernon suggested they addition of limes and sugar to make the Rum more enjoyable. Old J has been created in honour of this unlikely Mixologist. Still containing all the 11 flavours that go into our original Old J Spiced Rum but with an added infusion of marasca cherry that goes into the 35 percent blend of premium rum from the Caribbean islands with spices. This is definitely not a cherry liqueur and still very much a spiced rum. Serve over ice mixed with Coke/Pepsi and a cherry for the ultimate Cherry Cola.
