Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum is one of the most famous and culturally significant rums in the world, renowned for its high strength, explosive flavour, and unmistakable Jamaican character. Bottled at an intense 63% ABV, this legendary spirit is a cornerstone of Caribbean drinking culture and a global favourite among bartenders, rum enthusiasts, and lovers of bold, full-flavoured spirits. Distilled in Jamaica using traditional methods, it is celebrated for its powerful aroma, vibrant tropical fruit notes, and signature "Jamaican funk" - a complex mix of esters that deliver depth, character, and intensity. Unaged and crystal clear, it showcases pure, raw rum character, making it equally at home in classic Caribbean cocktails, modern mixology, and traditional island serves.
This is not a subtle rum - it’s energetic, expressive, and unapologetically bold.
