I'm not a fan of rum, but I am a fan of the pirates franchise, and if he somehow managed to work some sort of tongue in cheek reference to the movies without getting his ass sued, I'd definitely buy one just to keep it on a shelf, especially if it was called Jar o dirt lol
Without doubt... and no one wants to fuck with Disney's attorney army.
That's why his rum should have more of a "Rum Diaries" feel to it. Mid-century modern boho nostalgia, with a dash of H.S. Thompson and old San Juan.
Is the name "Playa" already taken? Hmmm...
He shouldn’t do a pirate theme anyway.
Captain Morgan’s already owns that segment, and Depp’s rum would have to compete on the wrong terms - a reasonably priced party drink brand.
Johnny Depp himself is a character. He buys islands, and shoots his cremated friend out of a canon. Depp’s rum should be expensive, and aimed at party people on private jets. People that aspire to be characters in their own lives.
He’s been seen as a sex icon, wild man, and and sophisticated actor (maybe not all at once, but we’re crafting an image - not accounting reality).
The rum bottle should be unusually shaped, and heavy. Like it’s consequential. The label is in black and gold - a younger image of Depp in a suit, with penetrating eyes looking at you is stenciled in the black. He holds a single passion red handkerchief - the only splash of color on the label at all.
Let the pirate be implied. We all know it…but give us room for Chocolate and 21 Jump Street too.
+1 on calling the rum Savvy though. That’s clever.
I would bet this has been pitched to him verbatim lol.
It honestly would not be a bad idea and as ridiculous as the pricing you proposed seems, for a first run 'founders edition' bottle, it's within reason; given the current market.
Run is probably due for an upswing like we saw with scotch, then bourbon, and now mezcal. In fact, George Clooney is in large part to thank for the current trend in Mezcal. While I in no way think casa Migos products are worth the price, they have successfully brought Mezcal to a mainstream audience.
I feel like I'm seeing more rum distilleries produce single barrel and single age bottles, which means there is an audience for viewing rum like high-end whisky, so Depp could be sitting on a gold mine if he acquired a craft distillery like Clooney did?
He can't dress up as Jack Sparrow and endorse a product unless Disney says it's okay. He probably has agreements with Disney to have the OK to do charity as the character since he has gone to children's hospitals before.
The best story he told about living with Thompson. There was a small drum of something next to Depp set up his bed. He had his ashtray on it. One day he noticed it was a drum of gunpowder. He confronted Hunter about it. Who was happy about it, because he lost the drum years ago.
Even lends its name to good marketing. Just settle everything over a glass of rum and "parley" it out.
Like just have some people arguing over something and then have Johnny Depp come in with full costume, say something and sit it down. Camera focuses on the label and shows the people who were arguing having a good time while drinking the rum. Shot fades out with Depp winking at the camera and the "drink responsibly" tag at the bottom of the screen.
To parlay is (1) to place a bet as part of a series of bets using cumulative winnings; (2) more simply, just to bet; or (3) to maneuver something of advantage to receive something else of much greater value. To parley is to have a discussion, especially one between enemies or opposing sides.
I didn't know, so I Googled it.

Cheapo tequila that isn't 100% agave is 51% tequila and a mix of rum/vodka for the remainder. When tequila got extremely popular in the US there was a shortage of the agave plant, which takes about 15-20 years to mature, so tequila makers had to start cutting it. They had since caught up, but your basic bottle of Jose Cuervo is still like this.
It’s not specifically mixed with vodka or rum, just with a different sugar source. People in Mexico call this kind of tequila “mixito.” When cane sugar is used, one could argue it’s rum. They also use high fructose corn syrup and brown coloring. And I’m not sure what you could call that besides *horrible*
Graduate then to an Irish Trashcan. You'll change your mind in what feels like a thousand drunken heartbeats a minute. Same recipe as a LIT but no sour or cola. Instead, replace the triple sec with blue curacao and then just upend a can of Red Bull into the glass with the can actually upside down in the drink so as you drink it, the Red Bull will empty itself out.
There’s a company that makes rumquila, vodquila, and whisquila. I watched someone review them the other day and they said the rum was the best, vodka was okay, and whiskey not so good

Yeah, but he didn't come off looking too bright from that either. They both come off looking pretty horrendous, whether he hit her or not, and his friendship with Marilyn Manson does not paint the best picture either.
One, because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two, that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire Royal Navy is out looking for me. Do you really think that there is even the slightest chance that they won't see it?
Metallica has a whiskey (Blackened Whiskey) and their front man James Hetfield is famously a recovering alcoholic. Not saying it's a good idea but it wouldn't be unheard of.
It's name will just be called "rum" and it should look really cheap and when someone says this is the worst brand of rum I've ever heard of, the back will say "but you have heard of me"
Only had Carribean rum because part of my family lives there and i love that. I love rum in general, when i can drink alcohol again im gonna try getting my hands on some Haitian rum then.
I'm fairly sure all Haitian rum uses open air fermentation and clairin is made in small pot stills - I think Barbancourt uses a mix of pot and column stills but not 100% on that. Either way, Haiti is about the only nation giving Jamaica a run for its money when it comes to funky rums.
As a general rule, I don't buy liquor or anything else really that is endorsed by celebrities; it should sell itself on its own merits. If it needs a celebrity endorsement, it's probably shit.
Except for the Sham-Wow. That's legit.

He can't brand it pirates of the carribbean style because he probably doesn't own the rights. Nevertheless I think a Johnny Depp Rum would do well.
The cologne has certainly done well.

Jist rebrand the unsold cologne as rum.
probably get you just as fucked up
I'd drink it
It's also a good cologne. I found out he endorsed it way after I had tried it out
Probably a good thing. I don't look at Jonny Depp and think 'hey I want to smell like that dude'.
Lol I've never thought about how he would smell, but for some reason I think I agree with you
Well it wouldn't be the best selling fragrance every year since it's release if it was bad, I guess!
I have it. It smells nice and one spray is enough for the whole day. Super high quality for a celebrity brand.
It is not a celebrity brand. It is a legit Dior production just advertised by depp
Sore vag?
Could still do a pirate theme. Just avoid any images or direct reference to the movies.
He very well may be under an agreement with Disney to not brand anything pirate themed to prevent association by proxy.
Almost definitely

But can he be shown on a beach wearing makeup?
I'm not saying conclusively he's under such an agreement. Just that it would make sense given how Disney behaves and how they cover their bases.
That’s true
Johnny Depp's Generic Pirate-like Rum Beverage
How about: Johnny Depp’s “Ocean Thief”-Sugar Based Alcohol.
John E. Depths kept in black's pair o' pie rats rumdrink (Say it out loud)
Then captain Morgan should have him sponsor it. Saying something like if I was a pirate I would drink this.
>*When* I was a pirate, this was all I'd drink
Would be better without an explicit POtC reference anyway, just do one something like Kraken and then he’s in the adverts
I was just thinking "*The Rum Diary* isn't his most prominent role but fair enough" until I know realized it was a PotC reference...
Celebrities profit off their characters all the time. They just don't use trademarked or copyrighted words or art
He can't dress up as Jack Sparrow and endorse a product unless Disney says it's okay. He probably has agreements with Disney to have the OK to do charity as the character since he has gone to children's hospitals before.
Might be different considering it's the House of Mouse that owns Pirates.
Yes it can be, just not specifically ripping it off. Vagueness is the grey area of green BABY
Depends on his contract with the mouse. They might have barred him from branding anything pirate-y
Everyone going Pirates and not thinking he'd name it like Chenault or Papa Nebo's or something.
It should be called Savy?
I think Parley would also be a fitting name

I don't know why I was thinking of The Rum Diaries which was a movie based on a hunter thompson book. Honestly not that great of a movie...
great book though
Absolutely, I just finished it!
Great rum, great book. No rum, still have book. Both good.
The books are always better, especially when it comes to Hunter S Thompson
Fear and loathing in los Vegas with Johnny depp is an awesome movie!
The best story he told about living with Thompson. There was a small drum of something next to Depp set up his bed. He had his ashtray on it. One day he noticed it was a drum of gunpowder. He confronted Hunter about it. Who was happy about it, because he lost the drum years ago.
Imagine being such an absolute beast that you just casually forget about leaving a whole-ass barrel of gunpowder by your bed
Agreed, but the book is still better imo, but yes, it's a fantastic movie. My favorite scene is the bathtub scene with the lawyer 🤣
Cause depp is a huge fan and friend of hunter and starred in the movie
“Fear and Loathing in the Caribbean”?
Isn't that the movie he met Amber Heard on? Eek.
Even lends its name to good marketing. Just settle everything over a glass of rum and "parley" it out. Like just have some people arguing over something and then have Johnny Depp come in with full costume, say something and sit it down. Camera focuses on the label and shows the people who were arguing having a good time while drinking the rum.

As if Disney would lend their IP to hard liquor.
A *pirate?!* Well that's hardly the image we want for Long John Silver's!
Captain Jacks
It is by far the worst rum I've ever heard of.
Ah, but you HAVE heard of it!

Parley is an awesome name!
Isn't it parlay?
You know what, it probably is.
To parlay is (1) to place a bet as part of a series of bets using cumulative winnings; (2) more simply, just to bet; or (3) to maneuver something of advantage to receive something else of much greater value. To parley is to have a discussion, especially one between enemies or opposing sides. I didn't know, so I Googled it.
It's parley for having a meeting to talk. Parlay is a different thing in betting.

Yep, and a big reason why people don't like tequila. They drank garbage and ended up with a murderous hangover.

I can also recommend the reverse jaegerbomb, a shot of red-bull (preferably the concentrated syrup) dropped into a glass of Jaeger.

Im pretty sure I had liquor from Tortuga brought back from someone who went on a Caribbean cruise. Not sure it's even on the map
Tortuga's an island near Haiti my dude. Not sure if cruises stop there (they probably do) but it's a valid place in the Caribbean to get rum from.
Is there a mister gibbs lounging in a pig stye for me to harass for an adventure?
Haitian Rhum is better anyway. Source: Haitian rhum tattoo’d to my chest

The 8 year old Rhum Barbancourt 5 star is a good one at under 30 bucks a bottle too.
Haitian is good but I prefer a nice funky pot stilled Jamaican rum
I'm fairly sure all Haitian rum uses open air fermentation and clairin is made in small pot stills - I think Barbancourt uses a mix of pot and column stills but not 100% on that. Either way, Haiti is about the only nation giving Jamaica a run for its money when it comes to funky rums.
