Wray & Nephew White Overproof

Great rum for mixing.👍👍👍.A bit of coke and some orange bitters their is nothing better 👍👍👍.Use caution

This is a noteworthy bottle to have and a conversation piece for friends and guests, but I don't touch it a lot. To be honest I'll take a bottle of Rum Fire before this, but that's like comparing sitting on 100 pounds of dynamite vs. 110 pounds of dynamite, lighting the fuse, and expecting a different result. I just like the funk of Rum Fire a little better, but they have the same purpose; To blow you off our ass in funk and strength. For me Rum Fire, and WR and used as a condiment in certain drinks. Not a sipper, and not a base mixer although I have not tried a Wray in Ting yet.

It's become pretty standard tipple at my local now. Very strong , mixes well and pack's a punch.

A very, very strong drop. Have a shot on its own and you will know about it for the next hour! With a mixer a nice drop

I’m not one for white, or, unaged rums. But uncharacteristically, I found myself on the precipice of being my wife’s in-home rum expert for a Halloween party punch. Naturally, Jamaican is my punch go-to. But to please an uneducated rum palate, and still make a party-pleasing, “boozy punch”, my first to mind is the legendary J Wray white. Hit the mark, nice added funk, strong drink.

Personally did not enjoy but its useful for cocktails due to proof, not saying its bad just not for me flavor wise.Try it you never know what you'll like.

This is a Jamaican flavour bomb.

As others have said, this is not for sipping - it's akin to a concentrate and more overpowering than enjoyable.

However, I'm not much for mixed drinks, so I bought it to see whether it would liven up Appleton Signature blend, which is decent, but not as rich as the 8-year that I prefer, but do not want to spend the money on very often.

A small amount of the W&N mixed in with the signature blend gives you something with a bit more character, not entirely like the 8-year, but close enough.

So forget the water and try diluting your rum with rum!

Suprising that something not aged can have so much forward flavor. For an ovenproof this is much more than just ethanol heavy.

While not called for in many mixed drinks as other overproofs (see: Tiki's endless love of 151 proof Demerara), this rum can certainly shine through in the right drink. Just don't make the same mistake I did when I started drinking rum and assume this is basically the same as any other white rum.

Not for sipping. But dang does it amp up any cocktail. Crucial bar component.
