WRAY & NEPHEW WHITE OVERPROOF
Country of Origin: Jamaica. It is produced at the New Yarmouth Distillery in Clarendon Parish.
Alcohol Volume: 63% ABV (126 Proof).
Sugar Content: 0 g/L.
Pairing & Mixing Recommendations:
Because of its intense "funk" (hogo) and high proof, it is rarely sipped neat and is primarily used to add a robust backbone to cocktails.
Ting: A classic Jamaican pairing with sparkling grapefruit soda and a squeeze of lime.
Coconut Water: Highly recommended for cutting the heat while highlighting the rum's fruity notes.
Ginger Beer: Used to make a Jamaican Mule.
Jamaican Rum Punch: The essential ingredient, typically mixed with pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine, and lime.
Daiquiris: Swapping standard white rum for Wray & Nephew creates a "High Test" or "Funky" Daiquiri.
Tiki Drinks: Used as a "floater" on top of Mai Tais, Zombie cocktails, or Painkillers to boost flavor and potency.
Culinary Use: Its high alcohol content makes it ideal for flambéing in the kitchen.
Spicy Foods: Pairs exceptionally well with Jerk chicken or curry goat, as the rum's fruity profile and high proof can stand up to heavy spices and heat.
Tropical Fruits: Complements dishes featuring pineapple, mango, or banana.
