Now, I recognise that we may not all want the taste of Ron Jeremy in our mouth (you may pause to vomit here if you wish), but I was very intrigued by this rum - firstly for the novelty value, secondly as I have never had a Panamanian (is that right? Of Panama, Panamanian?) rum and finally, because it has received some whip-cracking reviews.
On the nose Ron performs well, with a basket of tropical fruit pouring from the bottle. Spice comes through after that first money-shot of fruit - it's a really sweet and alluring scent. I think the last pun was a bit much so I'll dial it back. Basically, the nose is very nice: not too complex, but very pleasant.

All in all this is a very nice rum, being above most of the more common supermarket options. It's good, but not mind-blowing, however to be fair I expected much less from such a "celebrity" endorsement. If you can get your head around its less savoury associations, this would make a great gift, and once the novelty has worn off you don't have to worry about the rum in the bottle.
So why not pick yourself up a bottle of Ron de Jeremy Rum for £32.55 from The Whisky Exchange.
