#ALLRUMEVERYTHING
I am a long time FAN of Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum. You should be too.
Straight from SailorJerry.com
How it was Born:
Simply put, the guys who started the company were Sailor Jerry fans. They created Sailor Jerry Limited to keep alive the legacy of the man, Norman ‘Sailor Jerry’ Collins. They started it as a small mom and pop clothing brand in Philadelphia, collaborating with local artists to make leather goods, sneakers, t-shirts and other products featuring Sailor Jerry's flash. Since Sailor Jerry spent half his life as a sailor (and the other half tattooing sailors) it was a natural move to create a spiced rum in his name. A cult started to grow around the rum, and pretty soon, it started to outsell anything else they made.
Background and History:
Maybe because it was hauled around the globe by sailors or maybe because it's just good, rum has traditionally been the most prolific of the world’s spirits. Although a few other places lay claim to their own varieties, the Caribbean is generally accepted as the heart of the rum world (which is why it's where Sailor Jerry is and will always be distilled!) Rum has been intertwined with Caribbean culture for nearly 400 years, coming into existence alongside the sugar industry. The 1600s were the coming-out century for rum. Quality grew by leaps and bounds and so did people's taste for it. By 1789, a hogshead of the finest Caribbean rum was chosen as fit for the first presidential inauguration of an upstart nation called the United States of America. Today's Caribbean rum distillers have well over 200 years of experience perfecting the art of distillation, aging and blending. Adding spices to rum is an old sailor’s tradition. Those first rums were crude and harsh, so seamen would blend and mix in any spices they had on hand to improve the rum’s flavor. Today the harshness is no more, but the art of spicing rum is alive and well.

Sailor
Jerry is a straight-up, no-nonsense rum.
Nose:
Intense vanilla, dry buttery toffee and subtle cinnamon notes

Taste:
Warm spices of cinnamon & nutmeg with rich vanilla. A long dry finish balanced with a subdued sweetness and a hint of burnt toffee

Smoothness is the key
to Sailor Jerry's versatility.
Enjoy it how you like it — straight or mixed in a cocktail or favorite
dish.
Here are a few recipes!

Cheers!

Smart Art - Victor Castanera
I love how when you look at art you feel something.
The instant I saw Victor's work, the beauty of the simplicity and flow to each shape stuck with me. I also love the idea of the individuality of each piece. Here are a few photos (all from the artist's website) to illustrate the process and highlight the distinctive beauty.
From the Artist's site:
Areniscos is borned with reflection about the speed of the current industrial production and the social consequences of nowadays. On the other side it takes natural environment and the possibilities it can bring us in sensory levels, sustainability and experience.
It's about creating a small industry that allows us to create multiple objects in a simple way, using our surroundings, without contamination, without machinery, using only the resources we need and discarding the minimum surplus material, as molds, tools and more. these are built acquiring the value of an handcrafting object but unlike traditional manufacturing it increases the speed at which objects are created.
The project aims to emphasize the importance of the production process for both, the final product, which acquires a unique identity resulting from a decision of Nature, and the user who made that experience with them from the time throwing water on the sand until they have to give at home use. It is a process that allows anyone to create objects in a very simple way getting a variety of shapes, sizes and colors that will always depend on the environment and its effects.
It's an experience between man and the environment.

A Classic With a Twist
Rob Bayne, senior brand manager for Diet Coke in North West Europe and Nodics, said "Fashion is a top interest of our fans so we started designer collaborations to create something new and exciting for our drinkers.
New look for my fav Diet Coke?
This summer, iconic fashion designer Jean Paul Gauliter revealed the latest design 'Tattoo'. This is the third design, joining 'Night and 'Day' which debuted in April. These partnerships between Diet Coke and fashion designers over the past 10 years bring fun and new energy to fans worldwide.
Here is a bit about the designs seen above:
“The bottles and cans were designed by Jean Paul Gaultier himself – taking inspiration from his unique, signature styles and harnessing his fun and light-hearted attitude,” Bayne said.
‘Night’ includes a provocative lace corset and fish stockings, while ‘Day’ showcases Gaultier’s famous Breton stripes in an easy-to-wear look. ‘Tattoo,’ the line’s latest bottle, pays homage to the designer’s love for body art.
Tasty treat for the mouth and eyes.
