Wray & Nephew White Overproof

If you fancy trying something akin to paint stripper this is your bag.

I'll stick with the Rum Bar Overproof from Worthy Park !

Kristall klar im Glas.
Welch ein Duft in der Nase und nicht nur dort. Der "Funk" breitet sich im ganzen Raum aus. Überreife tropische Früchte wie Banane, Ananas, Pomelo, Mangostane und noch mehr werden auf einem mit Gras und frisch geschnittenem Zuckerrohr geflochtenem Körbchen dargereicht.
Am Gaumen fruchtig und mit seinen doch starken 63% Vol. sehr mild und weich. In Karamell getunkte, gebratene Fruchtspiesse aus tropischen Früchten mit Zitrusfrüchten garniert und einem heftigen Schuss Funk lassen die Geschmacksknospen vor Freude tanzen.
Im Abgang klingt das Ganze noch lange nach.
Ein toller weisser Rum für die Freunde von Jamaica Funk. Ich werde ihn mit Fruchtsaft oder Root Beer ausprobieren.

Crystal clear in the glass.
What a fragrance in the nose and not only there. The "funk" spreads throughout the room. Overripe tropical fruits like banana, pineapple, pomelo, mangosteen and more are presented on a basket woven with grass and freshly cut sugar cane.
Fruity on the palate and very mild and smooth with its yet strong 63% by volume. Roasted fruit skewers of tropical fruits dipped in caramel, garnished with citrus and a heavy shot of funk make the taste buds dance with joy.
On the finish, the whole thing resonates for a long time.
A great white rum for the friends of Jamaica Funk. I will try it with fruit juice or root beer.

Not much to add that hasn’t already been said. On the nose I get bananas mixed with cinnamon but with a little water, those super funky esters go pungent, like a mix of swamp water, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. It’s pretty fascinating! The palate is different than the nose: floral, something like Juicy Fruit gum, and and a faint spearmint note - lovely! This is always going to be a polarizing rum - the amount of funk will attract or repel, depending on the person. It’s never gone to be a typical sipper for me but it has great character. A classic.

Aye, it took a few whiffs to get past the overwhelming smell alcohol, but once I got there, I found a bit of fruit, a bit of oak, a bit of sweet, and a bit of spice. Powerful smell. Avast! I can smell colors now! She smells like she be sweet on the tongue, but no. Not at first. This wench be complex when it comes to taste, and it takes more than one sip to find anythin'. Spices first, then burned sugar, then banana and fruits, then just as she starts getting sweet and friendly, she leaves with all your loot and nothin' but the taste of iodine in your mouth and an burn that never lets go. Just like me ex-wife. Aye, you could spend time sippin' this, and after a few, you probably wouldn't care, but I wouldn't recommend it. Nobody has that much loot. arrgh!!!

Let's be honest, nobody drinks it for the taste. It does its job

Drink with plenty of mix and hold your nose. Also works as a disenfectant.

Had a lot of overproof rum in my life. This one was undrinkable though. May as well have been drinking White spirits or lighter fluid. Avoid.

Knock ya socks off, but a staple of any rum bartenders arsenal. Taste is rather unique with a bit of banana flavour in there somewhere

First sip was like WTF? Very odd but some force makes you want more. The most funkiest rum I have ever tried. Too strong to sip straight but excellenet with a bit of water. Funky, fruity, grassy but funk is definitely on the top. It's not for all but I'll try to have it always present in my cabinet. Recommended.
