Judas Priest Get into the Rum Business

Judas Priest are the latest metal band to get into the booze biz. But rather than do the same ol’ shit everyone is doing and make beer, they’ve decided to release a spiced rum.

Why spiced rum? Is there something about Judas Priest that screams “sugary alcoholic beverage from a warm climate”? The band is originally from West Bromwich, England, where I believe they get sunshine once every 38 years. So rum seems like an odd choice.

ANYWAY, the drink only appears to be available to Swedes, at least for the time being. Assume that’s you, here’s the description of the product from the band…

“Judas Priest have released their first limited edition spirit to the Swedish market. The Judas Priest Spiced Rum packs a metal-like punch with spicy notes of arrack, vanilla, burnt sugar and raisins. Get yours as a collector’s item or to share with fellow fans.”

…and you can buy yourself some here.
