J. Wray & Nephew LTD. White Overproof

One of the epic rum mixers, that was used by Victor Bergeron when he created Mai Tai back in 1944. The nose is mostly fruity and spicy. At the palate the fruitiness dominates with flavors of citrus, banana and pineapple. The finish has a certain sweetness and a long spiciness.

Typical of Jamaican rums it is the perfect rum to make mai tai. Pure I like less.

Love this overproof. Almost tame enough to sip, makes a great addition to many drinks, including an Agricole old fashioned

Good for getting completely smashed by and making strong cocktails but never on its own or just a mixer.

I tried this years ago before I got into actual rums (when I thought Diplomatico was the best thing going 😂) and thought at the time that it was awful and tasted like paint stripper. How wrong I was! Tasting it again now having developed my palate and this is smooth, floral, funky, even slightly sweet. I fully get why it is a great staple for many bars. Actually reminds me of a much more subtle version of the Clairin Sajous I have.

Well, you don't need to say too much about this rum. Everyone knows this one. It is and remains a very good standard/basic mixer at a fair price. In my opinion, it should not be missing in any home bar

Pure not my world, but the classic among the white Unaged Jamaican Rums.

"So cool!! A gentle, full-bodied, fruity slap in the face... I need one! To sum up, my degustation notes: On the nose: Solvents, Ester, Tropical fruit, Very ripe, Vanilla, Vegetal In the mouth: Intense, Funky, Ester, Pineapple, Very ripe, Sugar, Sweet Finish: Vegetal, Mango". 23 euros a bottle, what more could you ask for a good daiquiri?

The nose has a big hit of tropical fruit and smoky molasses. There's also some underlying citrus. The fruit from the nose is still there in the palette. Grassy notes also present. On the sweeter end of white rums. The finish is salty and earthy. Some peppery points. Overall, it's not the best Jamaican overproof. But a lots of good competition there.

7,8:On the nose, the first impression we get are overripe, fermented tropical fruits like banana, pineapple and medicinal notes like esters, solvents, vegetal tones with mushrooms, lavender and grass. On aeration, the rum is spicy and smoky, fresh and herbaceous, citrus fruits are out, there is some rubber and a yoghurt note. 7,7:On the palate, the attack is funky, estery, fruity with overripe banana, pineapple, citrus, quite intense. Then vegetal notes arise with grass, floral touch, spices like salt. 7,6:The finish is medium long with esters, still funky, dry, a bit smoky, spicy with black pepper, salt, fruity with tropical, citrus fruits and vegetal, herbaceous with tea, grass..

In direct comparison to the Rum Fire and Rum Bar:Clearly more restrained nose. But pleasantly fruity with a slight citrus note. The alcohol comes through the strongest here.On the palate, sweet tropical fruits with a slight floral note that takes over the reins in the finish.This bottle has been up for a while, so maybe some of the power has been lost. For me place 2.In the Wray

This is awful to sip (perhaps could settle and open up with some water) and is pretty intense on the nose as well. The alcohol is about as poorly integrated as one can find but it’s not trying to do that. What this does have is fruit and funk and because of that you have yourself a great mixer at a fantastic value. Since I rate rums based on the experience of sipping I should be scoring this a 6. I can’t bring myself to do it though since I feel it would do it injustice. As a mixer this would be 7.5+ so I feel I can sleep easy settling in the middle and calling this a 7.

The score is for the use ability in this mixer. Lays a very good and strong foundation in the mixer.

Absoluter Klassiker. Brennt mir leider zu sehr. Im Direktvergleich gewinnt der Rum Bar deutlich.

right in ya face ! ya man :D immer noch einer der besten plv Jamaikaner. Absolut perfekte Basis für homemade Falernum anzusetzen macht aber auch tolle daiquiris sowieso Wray & Ting und mehr. Pflicht Rum für jede Tiki Bar.
