Hey, remember when Ron Burgundy was a movie character and not an all-purpose corporate mascot?
He’s already released a faux-autobiography and Ben & Jerry’s has even delivered his very own limited edition ice cream flavor, so why on Earth wouldn’t Ron Burgundy be getting his own brand of Scotch whisky? You know, other than the fact that he’s not a real person. Sure enough, Drink Supermarket and Riviera Imports are the companies behind the release of “Great Odin’s Raven,” according to The Drinks Business, despite the fact that this seems like more of a clever marketing campaign than it is an actual bottle of booze that we’ll be able to buy in stores.
But The Spirits Business also claims that this is legit and just in time for Anchorman: The Legend Continues, so college students everywhere can prepare to pretend that Scotch tastes good before they eventually puke off one of the worst hangovers of their young lives.
The new Ron Burgundy Whisky – Great Odin’s Raven is a blend of grain and malt Scotch whiskies bottled at 40% abv.
The bottle itself features the silhouette of a black raven above Burgundy’s now famous words “Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch”, while the initials “RB” are printed on gold medals.
Damn, that bottle is going to look hella rad with some water and a yellow highlighter in it.

“You either die a original character or you live long enough to sell out for every company ever”
I read that on a two-face toothpaste box
Great Odin’s Raven can be found in a glass case of emotion near you!
The new Ron Burgundy Whisky – Great Odin’s Raven is a blend of grain and malt Scotch whiskies bottled at 40% abv.
So that means it is 60% water, 100% of the time.
Two Things:
1. I still like Anchorman despite it being horribly over-quoted by bro-douches everywhere like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and This is Spinal Tap before it; and I am genuinely looking forward to Anchorman 2.
2. Let’s not pretend Anchorman is high art, or somehow above corporate product placement. It’s a fart-and-dick-joke comedy about the absurdity of superficial TV news people. Product placement is pretty much a given.
also – there really is nothing more distracting in any movie than when a character is drinking from a can or bottle of some OBVIOUSLY fake product created for the movie because they didn’t want to “sell out” to corporate interests. Way to not completely distract the viewer by placing an awful looking prop front and center to make everyone cringe under the weight of your artistic integrity, you fucking turdcutters.
Wait, you’re saying Beer brand beer doesn’t really exist?
I never said I didn’t like Anchorman. It’s still one of my favorite movies of all-time. But please, keep ranting.
Well, that escalated quickly.
LOUD NOISES!
Then what’s this white can marked “FOOD” I’ve been eating from full of?
When asked why this Scotch wasn’t aged like most other fine spirits, a spokesman for Riviera replied, “Well, that mascerated quickly.”
It’s still weird that Anchorman has gotten this damn big. It makes me feel vaguely hipsterish, all, “I liked Anchorman before it was cool!”
But, really, nothing can ruin Ron Burgundy for me. He’s a treasure.
I was shocked to realize it made under a hundred million at the box office, I was remembering it being a much bigger hit in that regard.
Roll Call: Saw Anchorman in theaters.
Dvd, at gun point. I did love it immediately though unlike Zoolander which i saw in the theater and hated.
Relax, i love it now.
Stood in line with my friends. We all loved it before we saw it. (Not bragging…this doesn’t happen very often. Usually I’m years behind on things like this. But for whatever reasons, we all knew this was gold!)
I own it in all possible media forms. I even made a copy onto Betamax. (Alas, no Laserdisc!) She Tulk hates it which makes me love it even more.
That said…I worry about the sequel. What if it wrecks the original for me.
I’m a little scared, really.
There are literally thousands of other movies that I should see instead, but I am 72 percent sure that I will go see this one.
I’m pretty sure there are no movies you should see instead.
“so college students everywhere can prepare to pretend that Scotch tastes good before they eventually puke off one of the worst hangovers of their young lives.”
Good scotch is a wonderful thing. Like someone dripped the sweat from God’s balls into a bottle.
Bad scotch, on the the other hand, is like someone liquefied the devil’s taint. This will most likely be the latter.
