I came across a bottle of Deep Sea Rum while my wife and I were visiting her sister for New Year's. This is somewhat of an enigma. The shrinkwrap around the top of the bottle reads "Bottled by Mango Bottling, Cocoa, FL for La Playa Beverage Houston, TX 713-392-1516". Some information online reveals a trademark for Deep Sea Rum to be held by Conway Vineyards, Inc. in Santa Barbara, CA. However that may be outdated information since it was filed in 2001 and renewed in 2003 (http://www.trademarkia.com/deep-sea-rum-76298706.html). Also see: https://www.myfloridalicense.com/LicenseDetail.asp?SID=&id=6E355FC6AB42CFC6CD36637B9B808555 which refers to Deep Sea Rum as a Florida license. Online retailer Ace Wine & Spirits lists it as being produced in Mexico by Fabrica de Mezcal and shows a similar bottle but rather than the glass palm tree inside the bottle it has a blue fish. In fact, all the pics online I could find shows a blue fish in the bottte for the rum. I did find one pic of a bottle of Deep Sea Vodka with a glass dolphin inside. Also rather than a cork stopper my bottle has an acrylic topped plastic stopper. This rum is truly an enigma. Anyone know of this? If so, please let me know more about Deep Sea Rum. Thanks in advance.

It appears the name and usage is old and unclear, and may have been passed around. The bottler - Mango Bottling - knows nothing specific about the rum. I have seen this type of bottle used for a number of novelty or gift spirits - mystery spirits in tourist attracting bottles. In most cases, someone's clever idea, most of which go nowhere, experience very limited sales and are hardly noteworthy, even for bottle collectors. Too common and not worth the inflated tourist prices. However, it appears the bottle you saw was made by Fabrica del Mezcal, whose mezcal has received a few positive reviews. As I recall they use a copper alembic (pot still), which would be a good thing. Now if - and I do mean if - if the rum was also distilled in this manner, it might be worth a try, with the proviso that it is a white rum, no doubt very young. You pays your money, you takes your choice kinda purchase. For the deep of pocketed lottery players...
