Half-Bottle of Wray & Nephew 126° White Overproof Rum

Yearning to shake up your life? Or do you… just need to indulge a boozy fantasy? Look no further than Wray & Nephew 126 White Overproof Rum, Jamaica’s standard bearer for tropical escapes in liquid form. As the legend goes, Wray & Nephew was started in 1825 by John Wray, a wheel-maker with a passion for rum, who opened a tavern in the port of Kingston before bringing on his nephew, Charles Ward, to run the emerging production business in 1860. Ward and successive owners built the company into an empire, purchasing estates and making award winning rums (the company still owns Appleton Estate). Fame aside, the namesake white rum remains a special source of pride: aromas of pineapple, overripe banana, and light vegetal funk give way to a palate that’s dry and grassy with notes of sweet vanilla, banana, coconut and molasses. Escapes await.
