For those of you aren’t familiar with his work, Ron Jeremy is a long-standing leading man in some of the more #ahem# ‘artistic’ films in the gentleman’s section of your local video store. Ron successfully made the crossover to mainstream films thanks to his accessible ‘chap next door’ image, and numerous TV appearances. This rum is the latest in a successful line of celebrity-affiliated spirits including most notably Glen Rossie Whisky (named for the lead guitarist from Status Quo).
The rum itself is a 8 year old dark rum from Panama, hand-crafted by Master Distiller Don Pancho Fernandez. We’ve tried this rum, and have to say that we’re really impressed.
To add to the collectors' value, the initial batch of Ron de Jeremy is a limited release, and every bottle is individually numbered!
A lush tropical fruit top-note with a decent amount of spice and dried fruit. There’s also a very pleasing seam of sugar-cane running through it - think ‘El Dorado 12 meets Havana Club Anejo Blanco’.
Not overly sweet, but enough to give support to the intense waves of fruit and oak. A good development of the spice and dried fruit from the nose leads to an elegant and refined mid-palate. This is a serious rum indeed.
A decent length [inappropriate joke removed – ed], with yet more oaken spice coming through, and a wonderful clean break provided by the resurgence of that lovely fresh sugar-cane flavour.
This is a cracking rum, and we have to say, not at all what we’d expected. A very pleasant surprise, very well presented, and with individually numbered bottles, this is sure to become a collectors’ piece in no time flat.
this is awesome.. best rum ever .. thx ron
This is my first experience with a premium rum, therefore I can't really compare it to anything. I'm a whiskey guy. I found it very smooth when drinking it neat, but I suggest that you let it breathe for 8-12 minutes, since it enhances the "dried fruit" taste. Great rum!
I accidentally a whole bottle of Ron de Jeremy, is this dangerous?
just wish you had a Ron de Jeremy whisky, what a legend , great sales pitch
My notes: Nose: Quite tropical. Spices and fruit: Melon papaya And quite some sugar cane. Thick sugary base. all in all, lovely. Palate: sweet , woody (oh laugh!) and lots of dried fruits running in all directions. Spicy initial effect then more rounded and sweet with some cinnamon and allspice. Finish : medium long (yes yes, i know) . As Ron would approve Oak and spice go a long way. Nice. Bottom line: If we ignore all the PR and dazzle, this is a very nice rum. Not something that will change your life, but it’s a good rum. very sippable,even neat. No score this time, as it’s a Rum and i am walking on terra incognita here. Let’ say it’s pretty damn good.
