At the ripe old age of 59, legend of the … ahem… gentleman’s movie industry, Ron Jeremy has decided put his name to something that his mother can be a little more proud of with the launch of his own rum. Look beyond the risqué marketing blurb however, and what you have is actually a very good rum. Ron has partnered with another legend, albeit from the rum world, 72-year old Cuban Master Distiller Francisco ‘Don Pancho’ Fernandez, to create a dark rum with its roots in Panama. Aged for 7-years, Ron de Jeremy displays excellent balance in delivering classic rum characteristics, including oak, ripe fruit and delicate spices. Ron would probably prefer you to drink it ‘naked’ (rubbish pun, I know!) but the rum also stands up to mixing in classic cocktails. Available for around £29 from www.masterofmalt.com/rum/ron-de-jeremy-rum
