Just saw an article about this. Yes, it appears to be real.

I expected the bottle to have a longer neck, it seems short and squatty

Distributed by One Eyed Spirits. One of the billboard ads tossed off the table was....
"Give me three fingers of Ron Jeremy."
What's your favorite billboard ad?

I have a feeling that this rum is gonna be really similar to Seven Tiki Rum.

I think the verdict is still out on this one since no one from the Ministry of Rum forums has tasted this yet. The brand owner is in Europe and they are trying to set up online stores in the US, but distribution seems to be sketchy at this point.
If this works it will be the first celebrity rum brand that has actually been successful. Fortunately, a few other celebrity rums haven't come to the market. To date only Jimmy Buffet rum is still in the market and though it's made in Jamaica, it isn't getting the best reviews from my forum members or the Parrot Head Fan Club.
In the wider spirits market, most celebrity brands have failed but there's always hope that this will be good rum at a good price. The blender has done some good work in the past but like most rum drinkers, I take a more conservative approach and prefer to base my opinions on what is in my glass.

I knew there had to be a cocktail out there that this rum was suited for. I combed the Internet and found this one:

The Hedgehog's Dilemma
caramelized mango, lemon juice, Noilly Prat dry vermouth, passion fruit syrup, Myers's platinum rum, Angostura bitters
Switch out the Meyers's and Voila!

No dilemma here. I would sip some Ron de Jeremy from a glass. I bet that it is good.

Ron Jeremy already had 2 degrees of seperation from Tiki; he played the judge and "large convict" in Sublime's "Date Rape Song" video. That video was filmed at Sam's Seafood, complete with an umbrella in the drink.
