About Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum

Overproof rum, such as the Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum, is characterized by its high alcohol content. This rum, which sits at a staggering 63% ABV, is no exception. It contains a powerful banana-funk spice that can be harnessed to create captivating cocktails. According to cocktail connoisseur Greg in his How to Drink episode: What is Rum? Wray and Nephew is quintessentially, cocktailer rum. Ever heard of Victor Bergeron? You may know him better as Trader Vic, whose chain of cocktail bars claim to have originated the Mai Tai in 1944. The heart of Trader Vic's Mai Tai? Wray & Nephew 17-Year-Old Rum, of course.

But what exactly is white rum? White rum, also known as light rum, is usually light-bodied (although there are a few heavy-bodied white rums in the Caribbean). It is typically clear and has a very mild flavor. Like other types of rum, white rum is usually made from sugarcane and distilled water.

It first won international acclaim at spirit exhibitions in Europe in the 1860s, earning gold medals in London, Paris, and Amsterdam by the end of the century.
