Can a celebrity make a great rum to explore? Who knows. Let’s have a look at 3 possible celebrity rum brands that could make it into your next cocktail or neat sipping glass.
- Bruno Mars’ Selva Rey, Chocolate Rum
SelvaRey Chocolate is a five-year-old rum aged in bourbon barrels and infused with natural chocolate. Rich and full-bodied without being overly sweet, SelvaRey Chocolate redefines the category. It was the first flavoured spirit to win the prestigious Chairman’s Trophy at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge. As well, it received the highest rating for any flavoured spirit in the history of The Tasting Panel with a score of 95 Points. Sip it on the rocks or in your favourite coffee cocktail. But most important, sip it whilst listening to his Silk Sonic album, hits different!
- The Rolling Stones Crossfire Hurricane Rum
The Rolling Stones also shared a statement on the new chapter: “We are delighted to share our unique cultural bond with Jamaica through Crossfire Hurricane. Our connection with the island goes back more than 50 years and remains an important part of our story. Having a liquid that holds up in credibility was a key focus of the repackage. Ian Burrell played a central role in shaping the blend and ensuring it reflected true Jamaican craft and flavour. Gillet notes that Burrell “made sure we did this correctly”. ” The result is a rum with real depth and authenticity that honours Jamaica’s heritage while introducing a new generation of drinkers to the true character of Jamaican rum.”
- Johnny Depp Three Hearts Rum
The American actor, known for playing one of the most memorable pirate characters, Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean, has now seen the light and made the move into real life with his very own rum named Three Hearts. He said: “Rum holds the history of the islands. It’s shaped by the hands of the people who grow the cane, ferment the spirit and age it over time. “This rum represents years of patience and collaboration. Our goal was to create something that respected the heritage of Caribbean rum while sharing the spirit of the friendship that started it.”
