Wray & Nephew White Overproof

This rum definitely has an interesting aroma and is a very nice yet popular Jamaican rum. In my opinion I do believe this rum is best used in cocktails

As a whisky drinker I find this a highly entertaining - although batshit crazy - drink. Neat with a tsb of water.

Wray & Nephew is a very surprising Overproof.
It’s very funky !!! We can smell banana and very ripe fruits. The alcohol is well integrated, it heats without burning.
I like to drink it on its own with an ice cube but it works very well in Tiki cocktails.

I recommend, it's a great rum. Can't wait to taste Hampden's Rum Fire

Don’t be fooled by the cheap looking bottle, the manageable price tag, it’s ubiquity, or the plastic cap and pourer: this rum is the real deal and an essential piece to anyone’s tiki arsenal!

There’s a reason this rum accounts for 90% of rum sales on the island of Jamaica.

This rum is FUNKY and it doesn’t dance around it or water it down. Notes of rotten banana and gasoline dance around a sip of this stuff. This is what the Jamaicans call “hogo” and its fantastic, when embraced.

For 126 proof it’s surprisingly smooth: the boldness of the funk stands up to the high proof and creates and odd balance. I dare to say this can be sipped straight in small quantities much more comfortably than it deserves to be.

An excellent option to ramp up the funk on any tiki drink calling for a pot still rum. Adds a lot of versatility to your arsenal.

Don’t settle for substitutes: I’ve tried some of the more expensive alternatives to this rum and nothing really replaces Wray and Nephew. It’s unique and it’s one of my favorites.

For what it is, this is a spectacular rum!

Ce rhum n'est pas dans ma palette de goût. Pas un rhum de dégustation seul. À boire en ti punch ou en cocktail.

You know what you’re getting yourself into if you read the alc % on this label, but the funky flavor stands out beautifully when mixing with juice or sodas. Very different taste than typically rum but it’s a must have in home bar.

I didn’t know a white rum could have this much flavor. Yes it’s strong, yes it’s funky, yes it’s fruity but all in a good way.

But you knew that right?! Does what it needs to - mixes well, strips paint etc. I wouldn’t drink it neat but in a large mix it holds it own and in smaller mixes it’s a strong option. Just limit the shot size compared to normal!

Very strong aroma but I can't put my finger on what it is. Maybe yeasty but not really. Mixes pretty well. Tastes very strong on its own. I prefer S&C over this when it comes to funk. Gives a lot of bang for the buck. (Bought a bottle for 23€ in europe)

A way to up the ante on your funk! It brings a good amount of very distinctive funk without being overwhelming (add 1/2oz, no more). Having said that, it could use a few more types of esther for a more rounded hogo experience. A good mixer but it is not really for sipping.
