This is a Jamaican flavour bomb.

As others have said, this is not for sipping - it's akin to a concentrate and more overpowering than enjoyable.

However, I'm not much for mixed drinks, so I bought it to see whether it would liven up Appleton Signature blend, which is decent, but not as rich as the 8-year that I prefer, but do not want to spend the money on very often.

A small amount of the W&N mixed in with the signature blend gives you something with a bit more character, not entirely like the 8-year, but close enough.

So forget the water and try diluting your rum with rum!

Suprising that something not aged can have so much forward flavor. For an ovenproof this is much more than just ethanol heavy.

While not called for in many mixed drinks as other overproofs (see: Tiki's endless love of 151 proof Demerara), this rum can certainly shine through in the right drink. Just don't make the same mistake I did when I started drinking rum and assume this is basically the same as any other white rum.

Not for sipping. But dang does it amp up any cocktail. Crucial bar component.

This rum definitely has an interesting aroma and is a very nice yet popular Jamaican rum. In my opinion I do believe this rum is best used in cocktails

As a whisky drinker I find this a highly entertaining - although batshit crazy - drink. Neat with a tsb of water.

Wray & Nephew is a very surprising Overproof.
It’s very funky !!! We can smell banana and very ripe fruits. The alcohol is well integrated, it heats without burning.
I like to drink it on its own with an ice cube but it works very well in Tiki cocktails.

I recommend, it's a great rum. Can't wait to taste Hampden's Rum Fire

Don’t be fooled by the cheap looking bottle, the manageable price tag, it’s ubiquity, or the plastic cap and pourer: this rum is the real deal and an essential piece to anyone’s tiki arsenal!

There’s a reason this rum accounts for 90% of rum sales on the island of Jamaica.

This rum is FUNKY and it doesn’t dance around it or water it down. Notes of rotten banana and gasoline dance around a sip of this stuff. This is what the Jamaicans call “hogo” and its fantastic, when embraced.

For 126 proof it’s surprisingly smooth: the boldness of the funk stands up to the high proof and creates and odd balance. I dare to say this can be sipped straight in small quantities much more comfortably than it deserves to be.

An excellent option to ramp up the funk on any tiki drink calling for a pot still rum. Adds a lot of versatility to your arsenal.

Don’t settle for substitutes: I’ve tried some of the more expensive alternatives to this rum and nothing really replaces Wray and Nephew. It’s unique and it’s one of my favorites.

For what it is, this is a spectacular rum!

Ce rhum n'est pas dans ma palette de goût. Pas un rhum de dégustation seul. À boire en ti punch ou en cocktail.

You know what you’re getting yourself into if you read the alc % on this label, but the funky flavor stands out beautifully when mixing with juice or sodas. Very different taste than typically rum but it’s a must have in home bar.
