Wray & Nephew White Overproof

this stuff is used all over Jamaica for everything from cleaners to mixed drink, even as a headache remedy ( just rub it on your head.).

Recommended in a daiquiri or diluted with some water. Drinking this neat will kill you.

When I was ordering this at a bar, the person next to me said he got a bottle and put it in his gas tank. I laughed, but after tasting it, believed it! It’s definitely got a sharp bite and can certainly put hair on your chest.

Highly regarded and cheap? Certainly something to try, but I decided to show restraint and bought a 375ml bottle. Whew.

Smells like turpentine and molasses. Tastes like rotten garbage. You can talk funk all you want, but it is so strongly unpleasant. Even a 1/2 oz. in a Mai-Tai with 3 other rums couldn't hide the nastiness. Tried it in a rumrunner with lots of juices and other liquors... and threw the glass of it away after half way through drinking it.

I didn't even use a quarter of the bottle before I threw it in the trash. Awful and can't seemed to be managed by using small amounts. So what's the point in ever having this? So glad I didn't get a full sized bottle to throw out.

I think the raves about it are people pulling a prank.

Funky, banana and fruity flavours, but clean as well. Smoky, almost similar to lightly smoky mezcals. Great in cocktails. A must have behind the bar.

It's all that's amazing about Jamaican funk. Heavy overripe fruit aromas added by a mild sweetness like caramelized banana. The pallet is like the nose with mild heat and more fogo and funk. Somehow a sipper or amazing in rum forward drinks. But Wray and Ting is the standard for a reason!

This thing is a bruiser for sure - it's loaded with banana and mango and pineapple, but mostly banana. Put this in a cocktail or float it in one and you have a transformative tool at your disposal.

Packs of lot of that Jamaican rum funk (esters), but missing dimension. I tried about 4-5 of the top recommended cocktails with it and I can't really say I liked any of them. I love Smith and Cross and Hamilton Jamacain Pot Still Black, so maybe it's the unaged Jamaican rums I am not a fan of? Got to find a bottle of Rum Fire to answer this question.
