Ron de Jeremy Reserva Review And Tasting Notes
Ron de Jeremy Reserva 8 years is a rum produced by a particular distillery founded by former porn actor Ron Jeremy. The good Ron Jeremy started from the ranks, making his way between beds, orgies, and Herculean labors.
Still, he realized his dream in the end: to found a distillery of great international scope, and thus the Ron de Jeremy Spirits company was born.
And as Ron teaches, size doesn’t matter, as his distillery produces little but very well and sells worldwide. The pun is between Ron, the porn actor’s name, and Ron, the Spanish word for rum.
This Ron de Jeremy Reserva rum 8 is not the end of the world; indeed, it is a very spicy, warm, and woody rum, but the care felt behind this product is tangible. It does not want to be too complex or elegant or typical distillate.
On the contrary, it has a certain aromatic and alcoholic aggressiveness, even if, in the end, a good dose of sweetness intervenes to lubricate the sip.
How is it done?
It is produced in Panama, starting from a blend of rums from Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, and Trinidad, aged at least 8 years in barrels used to make Bourbon.
In this way, the rum blend, already robust and spicy, manages to develop a very intense woody and spicy charm.
Organoleptic characteristics
Disturbing nose, pimp, superb and full, the fruity aromas are warm and entangling. The spices hit your face with a whirlwind of repeated and hammering blows.
The wood closes to embrace the whole distillate, which closes with smoky cola notes, oxidized, tropical with raisins and vanilla. It does not have great depth, but it is large and eye-catching, yet it does not lack character.
You can feel all the beefy alcoholic charge on the palate, he slaps you aggressively, but he is never too rude. The sip is pungent but velvety, despite the heat. The pepper scratch the back of the palate.
It does not have significant development. It is not turgid and penetrating like a pure Jamaican spiced rum. It is not an ephebic solar rum from Trinidad.
It does not have the fruity purity of the cane of Guyana, but it manages to make everyone agree in this orgy of eclectic flavors and aromas.
Or rather, it has all these characteristics, but they are lost a bit in the fury of the blend: solid structure, credible alcohol content, and good length of the sip. Oxidized nutty and honeyed flavors mingle with smoky and woody tones close to very tropical sweet cane flavors. Stylistically it is very set, but it has a lot of pleasure to spare.
