Fiery. Funky. Unapologetically bold.
Few bottles carry as much heritage, energy, and unmistakable character as Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum. A true Jamaican legend, this iconic white rum has been the island’s most beloved spirit for generations — a bold expression of culture, celebration, and community. Bottled at a powerful 63% ABV, it’s not for the faint-hearted, yet every drop reflects centuries of craftsmanship and pride from the world-famous Appleton Estate distillery.
The moment you open the bottle, Wray & Nephew bursts with aromas of ripe tropical fruit, molasses, and fresh sugarcane, evoking the sun-drenched hills of Jamaica. On the palate, it’s fiery yet flavourful — intense notes of banana, vanilla, and spice come alive, creating a rum that’s raw, honest, and full of personality. It’s more than a drink; it’s a cultural icon, traditionally poured at family gatherings, toasts, and celebrations that bring people together in joy and laughter.
In Ireland, Wray & Nephew Overproof has earned a devoted following among rum enthusiasts and bartenders who appreciate its power and versatility.
