Wray & Nephew Overproof Rum Review:

As I am writing this piece, I am a fan of Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum.

The brand Wray & Nephew has secured over 90% of the white rum market in Jamaica with the last ten years.

Soon after I got to Jamaica in 2013, I went to the duty free shop at the airport to buy some local rum.

Those were my days of drinking a whole lot of rum. I was a heavy drinker at the time.

I was eager to buy a local Jamaican rum as soon as I arrived to my hotel and experience its aroma and taste.

As soon as I came out of the duty free shop, I stood there for a moment, gazing at the tall airy coastline of beautiful Port Royal in the background, without a care in the world.

I was thinking to myself what kind of Jamaican rum should I buy on my first day in the country, after all there is so much choice now, compared to the old days.

Then a man drove up in his car and said “Hello sir”.

I looked at him and the car and realized there was something wrong with his eyes. I found out later that he was one of the former sugar workers who lost their jobs at the recently closed Tate & Lyle sugar factory in the small town of Santa Cruz in southern Jamaica.

Those are also known as “sugar babies”.

After the plant had closed in 2010, many of them were unable to find another job and moved into the dangerous world of illicit drugs.

This now had become a serious problem for the country since over 20,000 people lost their jobs.

I didn’t know what he was selling, but I said to myself that he is friend that can at least help me select a good Jamaican rum.

A number of new brands have been produced since the early 1960s in the boom of the Jamaican rum industry, most notably Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum.

Blackheart Rum, Appleton Estate and Myers’ Rum.

We were now looking at each other. I was thinking to myself that he may have been a drug dealer when he just stared at me.

I spoke to him looking firmly at him at at him for about 5 seconds.

I said “I am looking for a Jamaican rum for me. Could you tell me, which one to buy?”

He stammered before naming one of the three of the most popular Jamaican rums. By then, I had recognized the face of a former sugar worker and a widower looking for money to take care of his wife and seven children.

I told him about our kinds in Scotland and the don’t drink rum because he is a Widower.

He then decided that I should try the Wray & Nephew.

I said “What is Wray & Nephew?”

He said that this is the one that is the best and of high quality.

All he could say was that it was the strongest rum in Jamaica, and would give me the best value for money.

During the years, since that day he got me to buy the Wray & Nephew.
