Wray & Nephew Overproof is a symbol of Jamaica like Bob Marley or Usain Bolt. It is an integral part of the life of Jamaicans: the rum with which meals are accompanied, holidays are sanctified and birthdays, births, weddings as well as deaths are celebrated.
The history of this Rum begins in 1825 when company founder John Wray opened The Shakespeare Tavern in Kingston Town, when it wasn't the capital yet. Being in such an effervescent and lively area allows John Wray and his nephew to achieve dazzling success all over the world, a success that leads their rums to the victory of countless prizes in various world exhibitions and competitions.
At the turn of the first decade of the 1900s, J. Wray & Nephew bought the three Jamaican sugar estates of Greenwich, Carlisle and Monymusk and in 1917 the Appleton Estate, the second oldest rum distillery in the world and one of the most renowned for its rums.
Now owned by Campari, 90% of rum sales in Jamaica are said to be from this famous brand, used in T'Punch, Mai Tai and Daiquiri.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
