Rum-Bar White Overproof

This is the alternative to Wray for the unaged overproof rum in your cabinet and I have to say I'm impressed. It doesn't have the nose of Wray but the taste is very similar. I also find this a little smoother than Wray, the 63% doesn't hit you quite as hard. A very good rum and for the price, well worth having!

Worthy Park, 63%, white overproof. Aromas of pure Jamaican funk! Lots of green bananas, olives in brine, blue cheese, petrol or varnish. On the palate, hot(because 63%), ester heavy with green herbaceous undertones. Vegetal and sweet with almond notes. I love this rum. The funkier the better.

Le meilleur mixer overproof que je connaisse. Un véritable stinky rum dunder style et distillé en pot still. Incroyablement puissant et avec des notes douces de réglisse et de fruit à noyau très mur. Terrific en ti punch et peut se boire pur aussi mais en petite quantité bien sûr.

This sub-$30 bottle packs a punch. Big, strong flavors of fruits, olives, salt and some Jamaican funk.

For those seriously getting into rum, this should be tried along with Wray & Nephew and Rum Fire. All are good/great and huge values.

Fantastic Jamaican overproof, with the quintessential banana notes, burnt sugar, molasses and fruits. A little too hot to drink straight but it does mellow with a splash of water and release a lot of flavor. Excellent as a mixer.

I just love Wray overproof, so was looking for something similar, just for a change (but not too big a change :p ). So i tried this one and Rum Fire. I prefer the Rum-Bar, its actually has a smooth soft flavour for a overproof. Over here perhaps a tad expensive to justify buying it over a very similar , but cheaper Wray & Nephew. Great for a try tough. Jamaican Overproof FTW

This is a great alternative to Wray & Nephew Overproof. In my opinion (and it may be a fact) this has more esters than W&N.

Its interesting how all three of the big overproof whites from Jamaica can each be unique to each other. Of the three, I would say that Hampden's Rum Fire takes first place for my palette, while this one ties with Appleton Estate's Wray and Nephew. It has an incredible aroma and pungency of over-ripe tropical fruits that often reminds me of starburst, if you could imagine starburst without the sugar.
The perfect mix for all three of these is the Jasper's Jamaican Planter's Punch, which uses a lime juice, nutmeg, and angostura bitters syrup in a 1:1 ratio with the rum (check for the recipe to "Jasper's Mix" online). Otherwise, these rums are indispensable when it comes to mixing with fruit juices or for making punches. They also give incredible results when you make a fruit "rhum arrange".

Nice mixer with lots of that jamaican funk and some oomph.
