First Drinks is looking to invest in the Sailor Jerry Spiced rum brand in the music arena in the UK this year.

The first of the free concerts will take place on 26 April in London and will be headlined by Bombay Bicycle Club.
The concert will be followed by an event in Glasgow in June and four more events to follow later in the year in Manchester, Brighton, Edinburgh and an additional London gig. Further experiential activity will take place at major music festivals during the summer.
Tickets are available through the Sailor Jerry website www.sailorjerry.co.uk from tomorrow.
Earlier this year, William Grant revamped both the packaging and the taste profile for Sailor Jerry, which prompted a backlash from some consumers. A website was subsequently set up by the disaffected, calling to ‘sink the sailor‘.
