Admiral Vernon's Old J Spiced Rum is a spiced spirit drink with 35% alcohol, blending Persian lime and vanilla flavors with classic rum notes. Due to its alcohol content below 37.5%, it is technically not classified as rum. This drink is inspired by Admiral Edward Vernon's 1740 recipe, which added lime and sugar to naval rum to enhance its taste.
It all started in 1740, when Admiral Edward Vernon enforced a reduction in the strength of the British Navy’s rum ration. When his men complained, Vernon suggested the addition of limes and sugar to make the drink more enjoyable. Old J has been created in honour of this unlikely mixologist who was known as Old Grog.
However, Old J brings Vernon´s concept into the 21st Century by using the finest Caribbean Rum combined with our secret blend of spices, sugar, vanilla and Persian lime. It took over sixty trials before the perfect harmony of ingredients was found, and Old J’s smooth and spicy flavour profile was born.
