What can one say about Ron de Jeremy Rum, the first rum named after an adult film star? Well, it's the first rum named after an adult film star.
The initial quality in its favor is it hands you a laugh. Every double-entendre word on the bottle tells you the project has a knowing sense sense of humor about itself. It goes by the title "The Adult Rum" and is described as having "long, smooth flavor." There's also a pseudo-serious portrait of Jeremy on the label, looking wistful, and vaguely Christ-like. At any party, it will do its job as an ice-breaker.
Also in its favor is its skilled creator, 72-year old Cuban Master Blender Francisco “Don Pancho” Fernandez, who has worked at Havana Club, Zafra and Abuelo. Finally, it's a decent rum, a 7-year-old Panamanian which will not change your life, but is quite likeable, medium-bodied, and caramel-vanilla pleasant. I wasn't blown away sipping it straight, but I found it mixed rather well. I made a fine Daiquiri with it. And it's only $30.
