Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum is crafted using a blend of pot and column still distillates from fermented molasses, resulting in its distinctive high-proof character. What's particularly intriguing about the production process is that it's bottled straight from the still without aging, allowing the raw, intense flavors of the fresh distillate to shine through in the final product. Nose: Sharp ethanol sting, followed by ripe banana, coconut, and pineapple. Sugarcane sweetness and vanilla notes emerge. Subtle hints of green herbs and white pepper.
Palate: Intense alcohol heat. Tropical fruit flavors dominate - overripe banana, fresh pineapple, and coconut flesh. Molasses sweetness balanced by grassy, vegetal notes. Underlying spiciness with black pepper and ginger.
Finish: Long, warming finish. Lingering tropical fruit sweetness fades to dry grassiness. Peppery spice and alcohol heat persist. Faint nutmeg and clove notes appear at the tail end.
