J. Wray & Nephew LTD. White Overproof Unaged 63%

"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."

""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."

"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."

"Update, because I think that you should not evaluate this rum according to how he tastes pure, I do not really enjoy him. In the cocktail but ne ne decent grenade. On the nose, the grassy notes predominate over the fruit umd the esters. In the taste, however, these then come to the fore."

"06.2024 Erster Eindruck: stark und dreckig Nase: Früchte und Ester Gaumen: heftige 63% zwicken zunächst ordentlich, dann kommen reiche tropische Früchte, Kokosnuss und Ester Abgang: der Alkohol hallt lange nach, danach kommen die Früchte wieder zum Vorschein. Gesamteindruck: ist mir zum pur Sippen nicht komplex genug, da gibt’s spannenderes. Aber als Energieträger für Mixer super. Das Foto zeigt die für Jamaica typischen 200ml Flasks, die ich mir mitgebracht habe - natürlich gibts aber auch die 700ml in meinem Regal. 2018 Auf Jamaica als Rum-Boom (mit dem Energiedrink „Boom“) oder in Fruchtsäften kennen- und schätzengelernt."

"Starting off Friday evening with this one. Maybe 3rd or 4th time tasting it, but this time documented. Tasting it neat, but I could see this in a cocktail. To me it has a very fresh and vegetal nose, and notes of tropical fruits, some spice and molasses"
