Johnny Depp Talks Rum EP|338

This week Dan sits down with Johnny Depp to talk about his newly launched rum brand, Three Hearts. The conversation covers everything from the rich, rebellious history of rum (pirates, privateers, and plenty of bad decisions) to what drew Johnny into the spirits world in the first place. He also makes a compelling case for why dark rum is where the real soul of the category lives—deeper flavor, more character, less of that spring-break-in-a-plastic-cup energy. Along the way, they dip into Johnny’s film career, the strange parallels between storytelling and spirit-making, and how both require a certain tolerance for chaos. Dan also recaps the Three Hearts launch party... an only-in-L.A. affair where he found himself talking shop with Steven Tyler, Beck, Jerry Cantrell, and a rotating cast of rock royalty. Not a bad night’s work. It’s a little chaotic, a little boozy, and exactly the kind of conversation you hope to overhear but rarely do. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
