Master of Malt's #WhiskySanta has returned to give away free orders, £100 vouchers, tens of thousands of pressies inside packages, and to grant Christmas wishes too!
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!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
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’.
Palate
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.
Finish
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.
Overall
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.
I've watched this site for at least a year they offer the T shirt at £14.95 the Rum at £31.95 and the both combined for £28.95.
But the combined purchase at £28.95 have been sold out for a year + but the 2 separate items are available at £43.90 for the pair. Funny that isn't it. RIP OFF COMPANY.

Sweet nothing
This rum is a very typical hispanic-style rum: Sweetened, and blended to obscurity. Not my cuppa tea, goes down easy and is easy to forget too.

Not worth the price
This has come highly recommended on a number of Web sites (including this one) as well as by many workers at the local specialty spirits shop. I took the plunge for £25 (on offer) and was bitterly disappointed.
Has a bit of sweetness, no overall character, too much bite in the back of the mouth, and no finish whatsoever. That this bottle usually sells for £30-35 is pure marketing, in my view. I imagine it would mix alright, but neat or on the rocks is not enjoyable.
If you want to stick with Panamanian rums, go with Don Abuelo, which outclasses Ron de Jeremy in every way, including price.

From the US
Bought a few bottles yesterday and met Ron as well in Clifton, NJ USA. I love a good aged rum and enjoy the body and texture of HC as well...and this is somewhere in between. Noses well, has a slight fruitiness, and isn't overly sweet like a mixing rum...and not medicinal at all. I paid $25USD and this bottle is worth every penny, my rating is based on quality & value. BTW, Ron is a very engaging guy, funny, smart, and looks good for a guy that was on death's door not long ago.
