Embrace the full strength of Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum, the original rum of the Jamaican people that has been bottled on the Caribbean island for almost 200 years. Wray is a celebrity, a star, even a religion for some, both in Jamaica and abroad and its label is arguably the most recognisable worldwide whereas Monymusk is probably the most “underground” Jamaican overproof even compared to the other similarly less known. The rum is often used in tropical themed cocktail with strong fruit flavours to create harmony with the strength of the rum.The white proof term disappeared from the newspaper for the most part until the 1930s, when we see the earliest mention of a specific branded expression dubbed white proof rum. The islands are incredibly beautiful and have an amazing ability to make anyone, in any situation, feel totally welcome and at ease. Characterised by citrus, pear and pineapple notes with a long and spicy finish, it is a very versatile liquid. The reason why I chose the Monymusk OP to go against the godlike Wray is because they are both pot and column distillate blends unlike the other two which are pot still only – so I thought it would be interesting to compare.
