A blend of light and heavy rums, matured for up to three years in American oak casks until finally filtered through that old distiller favourite, charcoal! This acts as a filter, stripping an aged Rum of its colour and impurities. The end result is soft, full-bodied and highly mixable white Rum that only compliments an already excellent range of value offerings from Angostura.

Inspired by Australia’s long and storied rum history, White Cane is a local reimagining of a spirit known to the rest of the world as white rum. It features high-test NSW molasses, cold distilled using a one-of-a-kind copper vacuum still to capture the delicate, delicious flavours of locally sourced sugarcane, resulting in a spirit that is pillowy soft with a refreshing finish. 40% Alc./Vol.
Notes from the producers... Nose: A fragrant and vibrant nose of roasted marshmallow, golden syrup and pineapple. With a moment to unfold, it reveals the luscious aromas of ripe bananas, persimmon, and caraway seeds. Palate: Luxurious and creamy, with mango, coconut flesh and liquorice allsorts offering a palate that balances power and vigour with finesse. Finish: A lingering, pillow-soft finish with bursts of raspberries, poached pear, and a subtle hint of spearmint.

Other reviews... Well, would you believe it, this is the first time we're tasting this little number on purpose. I imagine it's mostly destined for cocktails. Colour: white. Nose: sugar syrup, a hint of cologne, and a touch of hay. It’s as light as a chick's feather. Mouth: utterly inoffensive, with a taste that's mostly neutral alcohol and the faintest hint of lemon. A smidgen of brown sugar, if you really look for it. Finish: virtually non-existent. Comments: the best thing about it is that since there’s almost nothing there, there can’t really be any flaws either. Let’s not forget that this tipple and its cousins helped its owners build a spirits empire that now includes gems like Aberfeldy, Craigellachie, Aultmore, Macduff, Brackla, Teeling, and of course Dewar’s. Oh, and the marvellous Worthy Park. Couldn’t they sneak 10% of Worthy Park into Bacardi? Or perhaps do a Bacardi 'Jamaican Tribute'? I’d add that these humble spirits also help us keep our scoring scale nicely tuned, wandering down its lower reaches from time to time. We 'might' have more Bacardi today... Or not. 30 points - whiskyfun.com

The Bacardi Bat Device...
The Bacardi Bat Device appears on every label of every product carrying the Bacardi family name. According to Family lore, it originated in 1862 when Don Facundo’s wife, Dona Amalia Lucía Victoria Moreau, suggested employing the Bat as the trademark for their new rum. Upon entering the first Bacardi distillery, Amalia noticed a colony of fruit bats living in the rafters. Bats had great significance in Dona Amalia’s world. As a lover of the arts, she knew that Cuba’s extinct native people, the Taínos, regarded bats as possessors of all cultural goods. And she knew from local lore that bats were popularly thought to bring good health, fortune and family unity.Her suggestion also was hardheaded and pragmatic. Because of the high rate of illiteracy in the 19th century, a product needed a memorable graphic logo -- a trademark -- to become identifiable and sell. Reports quickly flew across Cuba of Don Facundo’s choice new charcoal-mellowed rums: the carefully aged, rich, dark sipping rums and a miraculous new light rum that was smooth, civilized and astonishingly drinkable. But the bat mythology also helped. Word of Don Facundo’s Bat spread side-by-side with word of his smooth rums. The Bat, local storytellers attested, brought good fortune and added magical powers to his rum. Today, the Bacardi Bat is a welcome character in more than 170 countries around the world where Bacardi rum is enjoyed. Clearly, Don Facundo’s exclusive formula, proprietary charcoal-mellowing, and aging processes give Bacardi rum its superior quality and premium smoothness. But with the Bat as the trademark, the rums have continued to raise the Company’s fortunes to new heights!Classic Cocktail: The Daiquiri Strawberry
The Daiquiri is a family of cocktails whose main ingredients have traditionally been rum and lime juice. There are several versions however, with some like the Strawberry Daiquiri having a texture similar to a smoothie. Originally the drink was served in a tall glass packed with cracked ice. A teaspoon of sugar was poured over the ice and the juice of one or two limes was squeezed over the sugar. Two or three ounces of rum completed the mixture. The glass was then frosted by stirring with a long-handled spoon.40 ml White Rum

Building on the foundation of the JP Edition, Second Giru Cane Spirit is created from fresh crushed cane from the 2024 harvest and elevated by a higher proof. Burdekin source local sugarcane, then single pass distill resulting in a British Navy (Coral Sea) strength expression. The spirit presents traditional French Caribbean aromatics of cut grass, sea and minerality, and a smooth palate of salt and aniseed. . There are no additives. One for purists and lovers of Clairin or Rhum Agricoles. 600 bottles produced at 54.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... The 'Coral Sea Strength' title on this Burdekin Distillers Edition unaged cane spirit from 2024 refers to its powerful 54.5% abv. But boy, does it wear that booze well. Drinking this, you’d never guess it was so strong, and in many ways it’s more integrated and less volatile than some of Burkdekin’s much lower-strength releases. The nose shows wonderful integration and no spirit harshness with notes of grilled pineapple, black pepper and tropical rain on hot concrete, as well as a super fresh oyster brininess. The abv shows itself on the palate, but not anywhere near as harsh as you’d expect, the alcohol incredibly well integrated into this sweet, creamy spirit that lingers with the green herbaceousness of fresh sugarcane. An incredibly enjoyable and incredibly drinkable spirit. I’d be tempted to drink this as a martini, or simply on the rocks, but it would make an incredible Martinique-style Ti' Punch, too. 96 points - Fred Siggins, winecompanion.com.au

Aka the 'JP Edition', First Giru is a tribute to a collaboration with dedicated farmer, John Pierotti. Burdekin harvested the first local crop of Giru sugarcane in Spring 2022. What followed was a double distillation of 500 bottles that sits firmly in the tradition of French agricole. The bouquet evokes icing sugar, green olive brine and semi-ripe papaya complexed by hints of caraway rye bread and white pepper. Semi-sweet, intense and vivacious flavours continue the aromas including semi-ripe tropical fruits and a white pepper tingle. The finish is soft and vaguely saline, with crushed papaya seeds, cocoa, hints of match box and a prolonged rush of spirit warmth. More Haitian than Martinique? Whichever, it's an impressive debut. 45% Alc./Vol. Zero additives.

Burdekin started in 2020 as a water bottling company located at the foot of Mt Elliot. The region is known as the heart of Australia’s premier sugar cane country, with a much higher brix than others. Now a fully fledged distillery, Burdekin are proving that it's not only the French islands that produce quality cane juice spirits. They avoid trespassing on the “agricole” moniker, but their products are unmistakably inspired by the freshness of Caribbean equivalents. Partnering with local growers, using fresh pressed cane juice as well as molasses, a Frilli hybrid pot/column still enables them to create pot still styles or run a single pass through the pot and column with reflux. All the distillates are finished with mineral water from their own aquifer. The range includes unaged cane spirit, aged cane and molasses rums, and unique limited editions like the "Wild Child", several with striking labels inspired by the region's rich flora and fauna.
This is Burdekin's entry level expression, named 'Virgin Cane Spirit' because there's a two year wood-ageing rule in Australia in order to label it rum. It's double distilled then rested in stainless steel tanks before bottling . The producers describe the profile as botanical with a hint of fresh cut flowers and a dry finish. 40% Alc./Vol. Zero additives.
Other reviews... Burdekin’s flagship unaged cane spirit is not like other rums. Distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, this bright, grassy spirit has never seen the inside of a barrel, meaning it technically can’t be called 'rum' in Australia (a stupid rule), but this is a style well respected in other parts of the world, and for good reason. On the nose, minerality and fermented tropical fruit dominate with notes of earthy turmeric and oyster shell. While it may be confronting for those unaccustomed to the style, like the first experience of a peated whisky or a funky mezcal, the rewards of acquiring a taste for this rum are manifold. While still a little rough around the edges, there’s complexity for days and, when mixed in a caipirinha or combined with other rums in classic tropical punches, this uniquely engaging rum really shines. 92 points - Fred Siggins, winecompanion.com.au

Clairin Vaval (700ml)HAITI$119.99$119.99Bottle$1,439.88DozenABV: 49.3%From the village of Cavaillon, three hours drive from Port au Prince. Heirloom sugar cane called "Madame Meuze" is the focus, the cane juice distilled at the Arawaks distillery under the direction of Fritz Vaval. Founded after the war by Fritz’s father, the estate possesses 20 hectares of cane grown without fertilizers or artificial pesticides. In the glass the rum appears clear with thick legs; It's very pure on the nose with a whiff of herbal freshness and a lovely yeasty / bready / grassy character, air contact adding hints of varnish, pickle, brine, icing sugar, dilute molasses. Exceptionally soft, medium-bodied, dry and fresh with a herbal-bready entry, you also get sweet pickle flavours, brine and developing oiliness but it winds up bone dry, minerally, yeasty with anise / dill freshness lingering. Great stuff. Natural strength. [2016 vintage 48.8% Alc./Vol. tasted].
- DOMINICAN REPUBLIC$99.99$99.99Bottle$1,199.88DozenABV: 51.2%
Bottled in France without filtration, we're informed that this is the result of two cane juice rums, the first a lighter style from a short fermentation, the second, and more full-bodied from a prolonged fermentation of fifteen days. The style is similar to Compagnie des Indes 'White Shark' edition, only the ABV is significantly higher. It's like going from a standard strength to a Navy Strength gin, especially in terms of the fuller, richer texture that works to integrate the spirit heat. Flavours almost feel secondary, slowly building definition in a tropical crescendo of papaya, unripe banana, dried mango, white pepper and grassy freshness. More accessible than other white rums in the overproof category, this retains enough power to cut through Tiki builds, Daiquiris and punches where a standard white rum can get lost.

Compagnie des Indes "Great White" series started out showcasing unique terroirs and distilleries globally. Two expressions from the Dominican Republic have landed, produced from pure sugarcane juice and bottled in France without chill filtration. The "Original" has an entry-level ABV and a bouquet resembling agricole or Clairin, less the pungent intensity; Grassy, caney, waxy, white-pepper-laced notes are echoed on the palate, finishing warm, vibrant, dry, vaguely briney and grappa-like. Use this unsweetened, pure and very natural rum for classic serves such as the Mojito, Daiquiri or rum and soda. 40% Alc./Vol.

Depaz's 'Cuvee de la Montagne' was exclusively harvested from cane growing in the volcanic soils on the slopes of Montagne Pele. The fresh-pressed cane juice was fermented for 48 hours, distilled in a copper column still to 70% ABV, then slowly reduced with water over sixty days. Before bottling, it was rested in stainless steal tanks for at least three months. The result is a floral rum with notes of orange blossom, sweet banana and spice.
Notes from Depaz... NOSE: fruity, floral and complex aroma, with a specific mineral touch. PALATE: the attack is sweet and honeyed, with a very elegant floral flavours. Sugar cane, orange blossom, banana combined with spicy notes of pepper and tobacco follows. 45% Alc./Vol.

Offers up notes of icing sugar, fairy floss and vanilla bean. A sweet entry is followed by a wild flare of spirit. Repeats the aromas with lip numbing intensity. Prickly mouthfeel, the finish is bittersweet, with more texture than overt flavour.

- Chichigalpa, NICARAGUA$74.99$74.99Bottle$899.88DozenABV: 40%
Nicaragua is an often neglected yet noteworthy producer of medium-bodied Rums from column stills that lend themselves well to aging. Thanks to the exceptional quality maintained by distillers like Flor de Cana, the region's rums have begun to gain well deserved international recognition. Flor de Cana is owned and produced by Compañía Licorera de Nicaragua, which was founded in 1890. Although the brand was not marketed commercially until 1937, it is today considered one of Latin America's most prestigious rums, and has won 72 awards, medals and commendations in the last five years.
Produced from molasses, Flor de Cana White spends four years mellowing in American Oak before being filtered clear.
Tasting note: Brilliant, rainwater clear. Understated scents of dried coconut, creamy soda and pineapple pudding. Medium bodied, with a lively canvas of flavours including bounty bar, nougat fudge and sponge cake; slightly peppery, with creamy soda repeating. Finishes well poised and on a less saccharine note. Lighter styled and endlessly mixable. 40% Alc./Vol.

Aiming to demonstrate the nuances of Agricole Blanc, HSE is focusing on different cane varieties and terroirs. "Parcellaire #2" is a distillation of pure sugar cane juice from the Verger and Coulon plots in 2019. The R570 cane variety, also called "golden cane" or "straw cane" has been harvested. Creole distillation and resting in steel tanks has captured classic agricole aromatics of green olive brine, mustard pickles, unripe citrus, wax and white pepper. Grassy, pungent and a little fiery, the profile extends to flavours of castor sugar and baking spices with green capsicum lifting the finish. So typical of the category at high strength, this perky, peppery spirit is completely engaging on its own, but will pop in exotic cocktails. 55% Alc./Vol. Tasted from a 30ml sample.
Other reviews... The differences between the regular run of blancs from HSE and this one can be chalked up to miniscule divergences deriving from batch variation rather than anything so refined. Admittedly though, I’m not a professional sommelier, and lack the experience such people bring to sensing gradations of wine hailing from neighboring vinyards in France – so someone with a more finely tuned snoot may take more away from this than I did. But I liked it. I liked it a lot. Above, I wrote that really good whites are either cheerfully rude or deceptively polite: this one tilts slightly more towards the latter while still remembering its objurgatory antecedents. It’s an enormously drinkable dram, near perfect strength, with wonderfully delicate and strong tastes mixing up both sweet and salt in a terrific white rhum. You could drink it alone or mix it as you please, and you’d enjoy it either way, with nothing but a nod of appreciation for what HSE have achieved here with such seeming effortlessness. And for its price? This thing may just be an undiscovered steal. - thelonecaner.com
- Havana, CUBA$64.99$64.99Bottle$779.88DozenABV: 37.5%
Arguably the best-known expression of the Havana Club range of premium rums: Smooth and light with a delicate muscovado sweetness, aged for three years, imparting a light straw-gold hue, it's on rotation in bars globally and for many remains the perfect rum for a Mojito, Daiquiri, Piňa Colada or Cuba libre. 37.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... the HC 3 YO has its strengths and plays to those and stays firmly within its wheelhouse: ambition is not its thing and the rum doesn’t seek to change the world. Personally, having sipped it solo and then had it in a mix (I’m not a cocktail making swami by any stretch, so that duty is Mrs. Caner’s, because she really is), I think that while individually the elements of nose, palate and finish seem to be at odds and growl at each other here and there, in aggregate they cohere quite nicely. By that standard, it’s really quite a decent piece of work, one that deserves its “bartender classic” status….though to repeat, a neat pour is not really its forte, or my own preference in this instance. - the lonecaner.com

Part of Husk's "North Coast Bar Series" of young agricole inspired spirits designed to be mixed in simple, refreshing ways. Produced from first-press cane juice, the bouquet boasts sweetly expressive aromas of mustard pickle, brine and relish followed by beeswax, sour dough and green olive. The palate shows fabulous purity in a silky, medium-dry spirit with warming, caney flavours of peppered pineapple, olive bread and a salty, lipsmacking finish hinting at green banana, beeswax and crushed mint.

Few people will be aware that as well as being home to the famous rum based medicinal bitters, Angostura, Venezuela makes a number of well-respected barrel-aged golden and dark rums. Local producers say the combination of tropical humidity and cool winds that bathe Venezuela's sugar-cane fields helps to age the rum faster than in other countries. As José Mandry, president of the Venezuelan Alcohols Chamber that groups most of the country's rum makers says, 'Venezuela is a blessed land situated at the north of South America where the winds don't tear us up but gently rock us, and gently rock our rums.' The change in temperature from day to night stimulates interaction between the alcohol distilled from cane juice and the barrels, enhancing the taste.
Produced at the Licorero del Centro distillery in Caracas, Pampero Blanco is crafted using three stills (Column, Kettle Batch and Copper Pot) giving the Rum Master a mixture of light, heavy and semi-heavy spirits to work with. Blended and aged for around two years in x-Scotch whisky casks then charcoal filtered to remove the colour before bottling, the result is a rum where the flavours are delicate yet confident enough to mix with others, be it in a rum & coke or as a “supporting actor” in a cocktail, such as the classic Mojito.

- GUADELOUPE$109.99$109.99Bottle$1,319.88DozenABV: 59%
From the small island of Marie-Galante, a part of Guadeloupe, about one hour boat-ride from the mainland. Here the sugar cane fields, distilleries and warehouses sit in a pristine environment, employing indigenous sugarcane varieties and distilling exclusively from fresh pressed cane juice.
Distillerie Poisson (est. c.1860) is the oldest operation of its kind on Marie-Galante and custodian of one of the most venerable stills in the Caribbean. Built in 1916, not much has changed in the last century, but in 2007, Guadeloupe native, Jean-Cedric Brot purchased the distillery and committed to reinvigorating the storied spirits that made it famous. He has named his brand after Père Labat (Father Labat), a multi-talented French Dominican missionary who introduced Charentaise distillation, the same method used to make Cognac. It made for a rum that was more "floral and round instead of sharp and burning". Today, four kinds of cane are used: red, white, blue, and gray. Some are grown on the estate, some are purchased from local growers. All are hand-cut and brought to the distillery by ox-drawn carts. 72 hour fermentations yield a vin de canne at 5% abv. Distillation takes place in one of two copper creole column stills which have eleven stripping plates and four rectifying/enriching plates. The spirit comes off the still between 69% and 71% abv. The Rhum blanc is placed in open top wooden foudres for 10-15 days and demineralized water is added to bring it down to proof. Pere Labat has several variants, but this edition is bottled at "Island Proof". Aside from being the ultimate choice for a Tiki Punch and a stunner in Daiquiris, it is considered by some as one of the best rhum agricoles in the world. The rums are bottled without chill filtration to maximise the raw fruitiness of the cane. 59% Alc./Vol.

"Smooth but with a kick, this is a premium white rum with lots of cocktail versatility." - drinkhacker.com
A combination of rums from Barbados, Trinidad, and Jamaica - hence the name '3 stars'. Some of the rums are unaged, others aged 3 and 12 years, blended and filtered back to clear before being bottled by the French Cognac house, Pierre Ferrand. Light to moderate aromatics yield notes of unripe banana, green olive and peppercorn, becoming more subdued and waxy with aeration. Starts off light and easy in the mouth but crescendos enough by mid palate to gain a point in concentration. Almost a fine grappa-like profile with subtle fruity / unripe banana flavours leading into a mildly creamy, waxy, grassy finish. Concludes pleasantly spicy, crisp and precise. Not the driest on the market but one of the best. 41.2% Alc./Vol.
Alexandre Gabriel, proprietor of Cognac Ferrand, comments, “…Our desire was to develop a rum that shows character, elegance, complexity and a great finish – the ideal rum for cocktails … beginning with a 3-year aged Trinidad rum, carbon filtered to maintain its white colour and to remove the heavier tannins while preserving the aromatics developed and refined by aging. Un-aged rums from Barbados and Jamaica are blended, along with a 12 year old rum from Jamaica. The Jamaican rum is an expensive ingredient but key to the taste of the overall blend. Trinidad brings elegance and refinement, Barbados brings character and aromatics with fruit notes without being too heavy and Jamaican brings the funk, the touch that makes it a complete product.”

...This rum is extremely sugar-forward, a monstrously sweet rum that leaves delicacy behind. Big tropical notes — mango and especially banana — hit you after the raw sugar cane fades, and that old Jamaican rum, pot-distilled for sure, brings a touch of hoary funk to the finish. Some citrus notes laced throughout. Smooth but with a kick, this is a premium white rum with lots of cocktail versatility. - drinkhacker.com
- Macouba, MARTINIQUE$104.99$104.99Bottle$1,259.88DozenABV: 50%
Martinique is a French island with the largest number of distilleries in the Eastern Caribbean. Both pot and column stills are used. As on other French islands such as Guadeloupe, both rhum agricole (made from sugar cane juice) and rhum industriel (made from molasses) are produced. These Rums are frequently aged in used French brandy casks for a minimum of three years with 'Rhum vieux' (aged Rum) frequently compared to high-quality French brandies.
J.M rum is distilled on Martinique's smallest estate, located in the northeast in Macouba, where the sugar cane grows on 28-degree vertical slopes in rich volcanic soil at the foot of Mount Pelée. Due to its unique location with sea breezes, rainforest, an intense microclimate, and high cloud cover, Rhum J.M. cuts their sugar later than other distilleries (most cut the cane at the end of February or early March, whereas Rhum J.M. does not cut theirs until late March or early April). This practice, combined with the region's peculiar environment are said to be contributing factors to the unique flavour to this unusual rum.
Tasting note: Clear. Lemon, meringue, dried fig and mineral aromas with some peppery notes. A soft, silky palate entry explodes into semi sweet flavours of dried fig, green olive and green peppercorns. Slightly prickly, mouthfeel. Long, drying aftertaste of black pepper, green capsicum and boiled confectionary with a subtle mineral fade. A powerful, spicy white rum. 50% Alc./vol.
Other reviews... Clear. Banana custard aromas with a hint of nutmeg, mocha, and toffee. A lively, silky entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body of raisins, figs, nuts, vanilla custard, and banana puree flavors. Finishes with a bold, warming wave of white pepper, spice and mineral flavors. A powerful, rustic, and richly flavorful white rum that will energize any cocktail. Needs a touch of water to tame the beast within. 50% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Matusalem Platino describes itself as a "dry rum" but it doesn't seem to be so. It does have a crispness normally associated with dry white rums but at the same time has more sweetness than one would expect. It does resemble agricole rum slightly. There seems some vanilla to it along with a nice medium burn to it. It also appears to have a little butteriness to it as well. Now the finish is pretty dry leaving a little tingle on the tongue. Overall a good mixing rum. Definitely recommended for fruit-based cocktails, especially those heavy on citrus. - rumratings.com

The only real evidence of “rum” comes in the finish which is slightly leathery with a note of tobacco. I really enjoy more fruity white rums such as Chairman’s Reserve White Label and Appleton Special. This is probably handy for a bartender needing a more easy going rum. From my perspective though it is very average. 2 Stars - thefatrumpirate.com

- MARTINIQUE$81.99$81.99Bottle$983.88DozenABV: 40%
A fresh and tangy entry-level agricole from Martinique, bottled at an accessible 40% ABV for the bartender's circuit. Good to start your adventure into the agricole category or use it to make delicious Mojitos and Mai Tais.
Other reviews... I’ve tried quite a few of these whites from the company, and the thing is, what impresses about the Imperial is its cost benefit ratio — it tastes well and noses even better for the first and cheapest rhum in that lineup. The profile is reasonably good, isn’t strong enough to offend or frighten, and provides most of what is required of a low-level intro to unaged agricoles. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it makes a great Ti’ punch – you need to go to 50º for that to happen, and Clement and Damoiseau provide stiff competition as well – but its very good at providing a flavourful jolt to whatever you feel like adding it to, even at standard strength. So while I wouldn’t say it’s a key rum of any kind, it certainly is tailor made for bars, and for anyone of lean purse who wants to start working on his knowledge of the blanc side. - thelonecaner.com

'Saison Pale' marries molasses-based rums and column-distilled sugarcane-based distillates from Barbados, Trinidad and Jamaica. The components are blended by Cognac expert, Jerome Tessendier in France. There, the rum is allowed to round off for three months in French oak barrels, adding a smooth hint of oak to the fruity and elegantly spicy spirit before bottling without added sugar. The result is softer than its extra-aged sibling, tamed by French-finesse, yet still vivacious and natural with an agricole-like quality that includes flavours of semi ripe banana, icing sugar and papaya. This delicious rum offers a fresh edge over sweetened competitors when it comes to Mojitos, Daiquiris and Mai Tais. 40% Alc./Vol. Tasted from a 20ml sample.

New Zealand’s newest rum company, 'Stolen Rum' has been honored with a Double Gold medal for its Gold variant and a bronze medal for its White rum at the prestigious 2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Born in the Caribbean and raised in New Zealand, Stolen Rum was created after Kiwis Jamie Duff and Roger Holmes, caught in the rum resurgence that was taking place worldwide, ditched their day jobs in favour of developing a world class rum.“Stolen Rum had only been in the market for three weeks when we entered the competition. We couldn’t have hoped for a better start.”
Produced from a molasses ferment and a continuous distillation, maturation takes place in Trinidad, the southernmost island of the Caribbean, for a minimum of two years in individually chosen charred American oak bourbon barrels. The results are carefully blended by hand before being carbon filtered to remove any colour.
Tasting notes: Clear slightly viscous appearance. Offers a strong bouquet combining opening scents of molasses and spice (white pepper and vanilla), before turning more ripe fruit like - specifically very ripe cantaloupe or grapes. A super soft entry accumulates depth as a slow spice wave unfolds delivering excellent length. Medium bodied, semi sweet and mildly fruity-meringue like mid palate. Concludes clean, dry, vibrant and grassy with warming spices persisting. Subtle cocoa fade. Nicely done. 37.5% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... Colourless. Fresh, fruity nose with hints of melon and cocoa. Exotic characters. Smooth and well integrated in the mouth with slight sweet sensation. Good mouth feel.

Ask a native where you could sample J.Wray & Nephew over-proof rum, and they will tell you knock on the door of any household. Such is the legendary status of this spirit that it accounts for 90% of rum sales in Jamaica. Other brands produced under the J.Wray & Nephew name are Captain Morgan, Coruba and the renowned Appleton Estate range. Use this product in classic rum punches with tropical juices. Alternate with flavoured rums and liqueurs for something new. Also great in the traditional Mai Tai and Daiquiri.
Other reviews... This is the flagship rum from Wray and the rum ... familiar instantly on the nose, with a mixture of citrus and petrol notes, very aromatic with florals and the raw alcoholic notes one expects from an overproof rum. The body is a bit tougher and astringent, slightly charcoal-dusted but otherwise intense with fruit, both citrus and tropical, with overtones of overripe banana, bubble gum, and a touch of eucalyptus on the finish. Surprisingly approachable despite the heavy alcohol level. - drinkhacker.com
...I’m not a huge white rum lover but this is as good as I have had. It will give a massive kick to tiki style cocktails, where it is very often used. W&N Overproof is very popular and highly regarded amongst bartenders and mixologists. Rightly so as well. The danger in this drink maybe that at 63% its very drinkable. At the price it is also very good value. W&N Overproof needs to be evaluated on what it is. It is a very good white overproof mixer. It’s availability and price makes it a no-brainer to have on hand. 4/5 stars - thefatrumpirate.com
...I have gained a sort of sneaking appreciation for overproofs, including this one, because while it lacks the subtlety of a more refined 40% variation (subtlety? don’t make me laugh…the thing is like a charging brontosaurus on steroids at rutting time), it makes an intense, strong, powerfully tasting mix with whatever you decide to chase it. Try adding cola to a 40% low-ender and then to the White Overproof and try and tell me this one doesn’t have more character, more taste, more…well, cojones. It absolutely is not afraid to charge the gates and get the hell off the reservation. When you drink J. Wray’s clear hooch, reader, there’s no ifs, ands or buts — you know Elvis has left the building; and didn’t just exit, he took off with rocket-powered, turbo-charged steel-toed boots. And a jet pack.... made by one company that remembers its roots and continues to distil a real rum. - thelonecaner.com

"This rum is fairly alcoholic tasting and a bit hot, with some chocolatey, coffee and fruity (mostly banana and coconut) flavors trying to punch their way to the surface. Herbal and tart notes of sage, rosemary and lime zest come through with syrupy sugar flavors.

The Bacardi Bat Device...
The Bacardi Bat Device appears on every label of every product carrying the Bacardi family name. According to Family lore, it originated in 1862 when Don Facundo’s wife, Dona Amalia Lucía Victoria Moreau, suggested employing the Bat as the trademark for their new rum. Upon entering the first Bacardi distillery, Amalia noticed a colony of fruit bats living in the rafters. Bats had great significance in Dona Amalia’s world. As a lover of the arts, she knew that Cuba’s extinct native people, the Taínos, regarded bats as possessors of all cultural goods. And she knew from local lore that bats were popularly thought to bring good health, fortune and family unity.Her suggestion also was hardheaded and pragmatic. Because of the high rate of illiteracy in the 19th century, a product needed a memorable graphic logo -- a trademark -- to become identifiable and sell. Reports quickly flew across Cuba of Don Facundo’s choice new charcoal-mellowed rums: the carefully aged, rich, dark sipping rums and a miraculous new light rum that was smooth, civilized and astonishingly drinkable. But the bat mythology also helped. Word of Don Facundo’s Bat spread side-by-side with word of his smooth rums. The Bat, local storytellers attested, brought good fortune and added magical powers to his rum. Today, the Bacardi Bat is a welcome character in more than 170 countries around the world where Bacardi rum is enjoyed. Clearly, Don Facundo’s exclusive formula, proprietary charcoal-mellowing, and aging processes give Bacardi rum its superior quality and premium smoothness. But with the Bat as the trademark, the rums have continued to raise the Company’s fortunes to new heights!Classic Cocktail: The Daiquiri Strawberry
The Daiquiri is a family of cocktails whose main ingredients have traditionally been rum and lime juice. There are several versions however, with some like the Strawberry Daiquiri having a texture similar to a smoothie. Originally the drink was served in a tall glass packed with cracked ice. A teaspoon of sugar was poured over the ice and the juice of one or two limes was squeezed over the sugar. Two or three ounces of rum completed the mixture. The glass was then frosted by stirring with a long-handled spoon.40 ml White Rum

Those from the island of Jamaica are considered the "Queens of funk", a title earned for their high ester count that can yield aromas and flavours of pineapple, overripe banana and stone fruits. Just 102 bottles of this non chill filtered Cadenhead's beauty have been released. Its plush green and canary yellow packaging evokes tropical rum punches and Tiki cocktails. Because it's so powerful, mixologists liken its use to salt in cooking. Says one: "Sometimes you need a little salt; it makes everything better. I’ll often add a quarter-ounce or a few dashes of overproof white rum to cocktails that need a little oomph.” Very limited stocks. Notes from Cadenheads... Nose: Sweet, honey roasted peanuts, melon, candied ginger, fennel, rosemary and faint cherry cough medicine. Flavour: More ginger spice with caramel, apple struddle. Pistachio nuts, clotted cream and soft spearmint with warming spice. Finish: Very herbal with lingering soft spice, black pepper, star anise, corriander and fennel before becoming more fruit - satsumas and grapeskins.
- PANAMA$110.00$110.00Bottle$1,320.00DozenABV: 43%Named after the wild sugar cane that grows in the central Panamanian province of Herrera, known for its super high sugar content that's perfect for making top grade molasses. The 86 Co have set out to create a rum made in the style that inspired so many classic cocktails like the Daiquiri, El Presidente, Cuba Libre, and Mojito; a “Carta Blanca”. It's a style of rum that tastes like sugar cane and is supported by the flavours from the oak, not the other way around. This rum has been aged for three years in a combination of new un-charred American oak and used American Whisky barrels, and then blended with older rums for consistency before being carbon filtered. Distillation takes place in a 1922 continuous copper and brass still under the supervision of a former Minister of Cuban Rum, "Don Pancho" J.Fernandez. Tasting note: Clear. Attractive opening aroma offers suggestions of lime juice, unripe pineapple and vanilla custard. A silky entry leads into a svelte textured, light to medium bodied profile of custard and raw sugar to finish dry, balanced and with hints of citrus peel and dried banana accompanied by a mildly peppery kick. Good length. 43% Alc./Vol. Other reviews... “Wow, the juicy fruitiness (tropical) and cocoa bean bitterness in the opening whiffs set my imagination on fire.” Highly Recommended. - Spirit Journal December 2012

Clairin Sonson (700ml)HAITI$119.99$119.99Bottle$1,439.88DozenABV: 51.1%This is the fifth single estate Clairin to be released under Velier’s “Spirit of Haiti” label. 'Sonson' is named after Stephan Kalil Saoud's distillery in the village of Cabaret. Here Clairin is produced using a single traditional open fired pot still and an indigenous sugar cane variety called 'Madame Meuze'. Bottled a natural proof, the nose is unlike any other rum: intense, sweet-yet-saline with white pepper and a grassy / tropical fruit accent that continues to evolve. Reminiscent of high-grade blanco tequila, but more like young agricole. Flavours of plantain, papaya seed, dill pickle, brine and struck match. A vivid and potent cross-genre spirit that almost defies descriptors. Fabulous! [2018 vintage 53.2% Alc./Vol. tasted]
Other reviews... Clairin Sonson is equally at home in drinks that call for unaged agricole or Cachaca – it works great in a Ti Punch and it doesn’t make a bad Daiquiri either. In terms of flavour this is my favourite Clairin thus far and aside from the finish it’s really quite excellent when you consider the rustic nature of how it is produced. Well worth seeking out. - thefatrumpirate.com

Tasting note:[2016 vintage 48.3% Alc./Vol. tasted] Clear. Some fusel / varnish notes before the bouquet evolves an appealing grassy, caney aspect. Brief exposure evokes powerful scents of fruit cake / brine becoming more fresh and grassy after 3-4 minutes in the glass.

Pungent, fruity-yet-fresh openings turning briney, caney, grassy, evolving white pepper, candle wax and plantain-like scents over 2-3 minutes of swirling… Silky yet concentrated. Off-dry, bready, waxy, briney flavours are perfectly balanced by an invigorating, vibrant finish hinting at prunes, raisins and late marzipan.

Third generation member of the family Sajous, Michel Sajous built the small distillery in 2004, located in the middle of a 30 hectare plantation growing different varieties of sugar cane among which is the rediscovered Cristalline. The cane is harvested and then transported to be distilled at the Chelo distillery under the direction of Michel. Diverse yet surprisingly agreeable aromas are moderately caney, raw sugar-like then briney with yeasty scents evoking sour dough and fruit bread. Further air contact turns this grassy-sweet, finally leaning towards toasted marshmallow and beeswax. Amply spicy attack is oily, juicy, semi-sweet with a thrust of warming spirit and flavours of marzipan, dried herbs and white pepper. Ends salty, delectable, super long.

Martinique has long had the reputation of having the best terroir for sugarcane cultivation, long before Homère Clément had the idea to press sugarcane to produce 'Rhum Agricole'. Inspired by the enjoyment of great brandies while studying in his early years in Paris, Homère mimicked the distillers of the great Armagnac’s of southwestern France to perfect his method of rhum production known today as 'Rhum Agricole'. He made the necessary investments, transforming one of the island's most prestigious sugar plantations to extract first-pressed aromatic and flavourful sugarcane juice for top-notch rum production.
Habitation Clément soon became the Mecca of Rhum Agricole. Today it receives an average of 160,000 spirit enthusiasts and rhum aficionados each year who visit the distillery and taste barrel samples in the cellars. Others come to wander the botanical gardens or tour the estate's house to take in the classic Créole antiques and architecture, as well as tour the museum of Rhum Agricole, which symbolizes the rich heritage of how Rhum Agricole came to be at Rhum Clément.
Other reviews... Clear with a silvery cast. Interesting aromas of wet cement, meringue, nettles, grapefruit rind, and ironed linen with a soft, dryish medium body and a pillowy, peppery bamboo shoot, banana leaf, sweet cream, and sand accented finish. Will shine in cocktails.

Classic Cocktail: Pina Colada
The Piña Colada was originally just the juice of a fresh pineapple served either strained (colada) or unstrained (sin colar). One of the earliest references to a drink called a Piña Colada, containing Rum, Coconut and Pineapple was from the April 16, 1950 edition of the New York Times: "Drinks in the West Indies range from Martinique's famous rum punch to Cuba's piña colada (rum, pineapple and coconut milk). Key west has a variety of lime swizzles and punches, and Granadians use nutmeg in their rum drinks." It is a delicious, fragrant and mellow drink in itself -- rapidly shaken up with ice, sugar, lime and white rum in delicate proportions.30ml white rum

- Mauritius$44.99$44.99Bottle$539.88DozenABV: 37%Closure: Screw Cap
The small, yet picturesque island of Mauritius shares a familiar history with many of the Caribbean isles, despite being half the globe away. The island was discovered by the Arabs, mapped by the Portuguese, then colonised by the Dutch, then the French until they surrendered to the the British who set out to capture the island during the Napoleonic wars.
History tells us that European navies and armies were a thirsty lot who took their drink producing knowledge wherever they traveled. In Mauritius, sugar was widely available, and where there's sugar and a Navy, there's Rum!
This is a clean and faultless white rum that offers an appealing fusion of styles; the French 'Agricole' influence is clear while the British mint and spices also make their presence felt. Green Island unfortunately lacks the intensity, power and depth required to justify this price point.
Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in colour with crystal clear hue. A mild to aromatic nose delivers restrained aromas of cinnamon, stewed apple, vanilla icing and pastry. The palate is creamy and soft and delivers flavours similar to the nose, with the addition of a touch of mint and a small sprinkling of green pepper. Clean minty pepper back palate. Fresh clean finish. Aftertaste of mint, stewed apple, celery and spice. 37.0% Alc./Vol.

Martinique, Guadeloupe and the adjacent island, Marie-Galante represent the very heart of Rhum Agricole. While they may lack the global footprint of molasses-based rum, rigorous regulations and strict adherence to high-quality production standards make it hard to find anything less than stellar examples out of Martinique and the lesser known Guadeloupe. Velier's Luca Gargano selected this expression from Papa Rouyo distillery (established 2021) located in Goyave in Guadeloupe, and bearing the nickname of Charles Albert Ruscade. Born in 1900, he was the son of a cane planter and became a farmer himself from 1920 until his death in 1980. It's from this heritage that the idea of creating a micro-distillery in his name was born in the minds of three cane planters: Papa Rouyo's great-grandson, Joris Galli, as well as master growers Tim Synésius and Jean-Marie Gobardha.
According to Velier's classification, this distillate is Pure Single Agricole - that is, from a single distillery, distilled exclusively in pot stills. An ester content of 67.9 g/hlap has been achieved using a variety of cane called Matos (B80.0689) grown on the distillery's original (and historic) four hectare plot named 'Le Moule', situated on the limestone-clay soil of eastern Grande-Terre plateau. Synésius, who is one of the distillery’s “maîtres-canniers”, ensures the canes are hand-harvested before being crushed on-site. A long fermentation and a double distillation allow a particularly intense aromatic extraction, resulting in a pungent and multi-faceted agricole with vegetal notes alongside lime, olive, dried herbs and brine that will add a vivaciousness to cocktails. Nothing was added before bottling, only a reduction was done with Saint-Claude spring water. Distilled in 2021. 62% Alc./Vol. Very limited stocks.

Dating back to 1660, Mount Gay is one of the oldest estates in the Caribbean and certainly one of the oldest in Barbados. It was established by Dr. William Gay. Originally called 'Mount Gilboa', the estate is located in the northern parish of Saint Lucy and was renamed in 1801. There is evidence that there was distilling equipment in the region in 1663, so rum has probably been in production at Mt. Gay since. A tattered little deed confirms that rum production on the estate was well underway in 1703.
Named after a total solar eclipse that occurred on Barbados in 1910. Mount Gay Eclipse Silver is distilled from both column and copper pot stills, and then triple filtered.

- Oaxaca, MEXICO$99.99$99.99Bottle$1,199.88DozenABV: 54%
This artisanal rum is handmade in the 'trapiche' of Jose Luis Carrera, located in the lush and cool tropical environment of northern Oaxaca Mexico. Jose Luis' family has been making aguardiente for at least three generations, with his father and grandfather teaching him the trade at a very young age. For the past 35 years, he has been producing an incredible, rich and fragrant spirit as one of many means to provide for his family.
Carrera grows four different types of sugar cane on his 14 hectares: Caña Dulce, Caña Morada/Negra, Caña Dura, and Caña Amarilla/Criolla. His aguardiente batches are made from predominantly Caña Criolla, but inevitably have a blend of all four cane types. This is truly an artisanal operation; the cane is cut by hand and transported by donkey to the distillery, where the freshly pressed cane juice is fermented naturally in 1,100-litre pine vats, or tinas. A boiled 'mother' made from bark of the native Mesquite tree is used to kick-start fermentation--literally the only additive that touches the entire process.
One of the things that really sets Carrera's rum apart from his neighbours and other white rum styles such as Rhum Agricole and Cachaça, is the use of rolling fermentation, which adds layers of funk and complexity. Jose Luis maintains a continuous fermentation, distilling only half of a single fermentation vat every morning and refilling it in the afternoon - the remaining active tepache inoculates the new liquid and the fermentation in the tina never stops!
The result is a wonderfully complex rum, combining the funk and flavour of a top Rhum Agricole or Clairin with an earthy, bucolic sense of place. Green olive brine, Dijon mustard, white pepper, sour dough fruit bread and bittersweet grassy notes are just some of the descriptors that come to mind. In spite of its unique flavour punch, it's a brilliant mixing rum and, one thing is for sure -- your daiquiris will never be the same again! 54% Alc./Vol.
*Australian legislation stipulates that if a product is to be labelled as "rum" it must be aged in wood for a minimum of two years. This means, in Australia, the word 'Ron' must be used on the label.
Other reviews... I believe that this simply made, small-batch artisanal rum takes its place immediately in any list of tonsil-shredding whites as one of the most original, potent, pungent, and flavourful rums currently extant. It’s that interesting right out of the gate, and is tailor-made for those who are looking to dispel boredom, and want to explore the bleeding edge of rums that conform to no rational standard. - thelonecaner.com
- GUADELOUPE$79.99$79.99Bottle$959.88DozenABV: 40%
Pere Labat's unaged agricoles come in three variants with differing alcohol strengths, but with similar looking minimalistic labels. Some prefer the '40' because it has all the signature flavours of the Island Proof 59 without the spirit heat. Expect a classically clean and grassy agricole profile with a slightly sweet edge. 40% Alc./Vol.
Distillerie Poisson (est. c.1860) is the oldest operation of its kind on Marie-Galante and custodian of one of the most venerable stills in the Caribbean. Built in 1916, not much has changed in the last century, but in 2007, Guadeloupe native, Jean-Cedric Brot purchased the distillery and committed to reinvigorating the storied spirits that made it famous. He has named his brand after Père Labat (Father Labat), a multi-talented French Dominican missionary who introduced Charentaise distillation, the same method used to make Cognac. It made for a rum that was more "floral and round instead of sharp and burning". Today, four kinds of cane are used: red, white, blue, and gray. Some are grown on the estate, some are purchased from local growers. All are hand-cut and brought to the distillery by ox-drawn carts. 72 hour fermentations yield a vin de canne at 5% abv. Distillation takes place in one of two copper creole column stills which have eleven stripping plates and four rectifying/enriching plates. The spirit comes off the still between 69% and 71% abv. The Rhum blanc is placed in open top wooden foudres for 10-15 days and demineralized water is added to bring it down to proof.
- Jalisco, MEXICO$75.00$75.00Bottle$900.00DozenABV: 45%
At first thought, super premium Rum coming from the state of Jalisco, Mexico seems a strange concept. Jalisco is home to the town of Tequila, and is blessed with fertile volcanic soils suitable for the cultivation of Blue Agave - the succulent plant that forms the base of Tequila. One must the wonder, why Rum?
Three elements form the foundation of Rum. Sugar, Distallation, Oak maturation. The better the quality of these elements, the better the outcome: There's no shortage of distilling knowledge in Jalisco, given the strong Tequila Industry that thrives there. There's reliable, good quality sources of American oak, which is also used for maturing Tequila. The real surprise is that sugar is Mexico's largest industry, employing approximately 2.5 million people across the nation. It turns out, that Sugarcane, like Blue Agave, thrives in these fertile volcanic soils.
Porfidio Rum is produced from hand-harvested, individually selected sugarcane. The fields are located about an hour's drive from the distillery, which ensures that fresh cane arrives in peak condition. These fields are never burnt prior to harvest. The Rum is triple distilled, then aged for around three months in older American oak barrels then filtered to remove colour. The results simply speak for themselves.
Tasting Note: An intense sniff! An extraordinarily complex nose that takes quite some time to unfold and to fully appreciate. The initial aroma reveals a strong white pepper character followed by notes of lemon meringue, sweet biscuit and lemon rind. Yet, you get the feeling that's not the entire story. Upon further nasal investigation, notes of salty green olive emerge. The palate is best described as explosive, with a full bodied, initially prickly entry, quite unlike anything we've ever experienced in White Rum before. Sweet green capsicum flavours are supported by a white pepper backbone and a slightly oily mouthfeel. Exceptionally long aftertaste of lolly spearmint leaves and spice. Given the beguiling complexity and changing character of this Rum it's one of the more difficult spirits to describe. Those of you who believe Wray and Nephew is the be all and end all of White rum, guess again. 45.0% Alc./Vol. Click here to read more about Rum. - FIJI$59.99$59.99Bottle$719.88DozenABV: 40%

Rums have been made at the Rum Co. of Fiji distillery in Latouka since 1980 using hand-cut sugar cane grown in the island's rich volcanic soils. Their ten year old is a full flavoured, molasses based white rum, produced using a continuous still, filtered through coconut shell carbon. The result is a deliciously smooth white rum.
Notes from the producers... Pale in colour, this 10 year old premium extra aged rum has been gently filtered to ensure it retains its fresh citrus aromas and creamy vanilla oak flavour, with a hint of orange peel lingering in the mouth. 40% Alc./Vol. - VIETNAM$130.00$130.00Bottle$1,560.00DozenABV: 54%
A traditional 'French Rhum Agricole' from the tropical haven of Vietnam. Sampan Overproof has won a bunch of awards from various shows held around the world …Gold, Double Gold, Best of Region and many more. As a style, it's reported to be comparable to unaged Clairin or Paranubes.
Other reviews... The Sampan Vietnamese Rhum is made by the Distillerie d’Indochine: and Antoine Pourcuitte, a long haired Frenchman who seems to be channelling Fabio and who lives in Vietnam, is the man who bootstrapped his desire to make good rums into a business that combines a small hotel and bar close to the beach with a distillery he pretty much built himself (officially it opened for business in late 2018). This newly constructed establishment, which produces one of those excellent white rhums which must be causing the French islands conniption fits, is his brainchild… and it can take its place proudly in the league of small and new fast moving ops who are taking a pure rhum approach to distillation in Asia.... it doesn’t sink on the taste, but follows smoothly on from what had been discerned on the nose. Here, we didn’t just have a few olives, but what seemed like a whole grove of them. Again it tasted dirty, loamy, and also pungent, with initially clear notes of sweet sugar cane juice and sweet yellow corn, to which are added some lemon sherbet, vanilla and aromatic light fruits (pears, watermelon, strawberries) plus herbs – dill and basil. Soft and lightly sweet, and there’s a background hint of anise as well, or licorice, really nice. Throughout the tasting it stays firm and assertive on the tongue, with a near silky mouthfeel leading to an exit that is pleasantly long lasting and with closing notes of fruits, vanilla, coconut water, and breakfast spices. This is a really nice white rhum – it married the freshness of an agricole with the slight complexity of an entry level vieux and the balance between the various elements was very nicely handled. That pungent opening clearly makes the case that even with the resting period, it was an unaged rhum, something like the Sajous, the Paranubes, A1710, Toucan, Barbosa Grogue, HSE Parcellaire or others of that kind – I liked it a lot, and if it didn’t win any medals, I firmly believe it should at least win a few wallets. - thelonecaner.com
...Nose: Man, there is just SO MUCH going on in the nose. There’s a real fresh and lively quality to it as well. There’s cut grass and floral notes, there’s sweet candy floss and liquorice all sorts, but also salty olives. Freshly cut cane, earthy petrichor and even some citrus swirls by. Palate: Not as sweet as it smells, but certainly not dry, those fresh earthy notes are still there, I get some passionfruit, pineapple and pomegranate as well, and there’s also a sort of yeasty vibe going on (like fresh bread dough). What is surprising is how little pepper or heat there is at 54%. Finish: Oddly enough I get a bit of a ‘woody’ note in the finish, more of those earthy and sweet notes chase each other around, and there’s also some aniseed humbugs right at the last. - rumtribe.com.au
- Castries, SAINT LUCIA$64.99$64.99Bottle$779.88DozenABV: 43%Tasting note: This is a blend of three to four year old rums distilled in a combination of copper pot stills and a Coffey still. It was aged in American white oak casks that once contained Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Buffalo Trace Bourbons. Crystal clear / flawless and brilliant. Opens with scents of fairy floss, vanilla and hints of marshmallow. Second pass finds the aroma marginally subdued with suggestions of baked citrus, dried banana and grass. Middle-weighted, medium dry flavours of dried banana, vanilla and pepper. Chalky, gently spiced finish. Complex and beautifully balanced. 43% Alc./Vol. Other reviews... The marshmallow-like scent points towards the bold, rather sweet vanilla flavors to be found on the palate, with a raspberry note on the finish. 90 points - wineenthusiast.com
- BARBADOS$99.99$99.99Bottle$1,199.88DozenABV: 47%
A collaborative spirit, blending traditional Coffey column still and two year old pot still rums from Foursquare (Barbados) with unaged rum from a double retort pot still from Hampden in Jamaica. The significant pot still component combined with a high ABV makes for a robust, aromatic style that's one of the most assertive in its category. Perfect for all manner of cocktails, Drinks Master, Simon Difford, claims its grassy, cream-of-soda and pineapple notes particularly shine in Daquiris. Veritas means 'truth' in Latin. 47% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... A white blend of ex-column Foursquare and Hampden (ex-pot still, obviously) poured into an old Chartreuse V.E.P. look-alike bottle. A tribute, I suppose. Let’s see if we find some wormwood, or artemisia in there… Colour: extremely pale white wine. Nose: the Jamaican seems to be having the upper hand, as we’re finding obvious notes of new wellies, Ardbeg (yep), some burnt sugar, and some kind of sweeter olive brine. Some shoe polish and burnt sugar too. Mouth: lemons, limoncello and lemon marmalade at first (nope that’s not kind of the same thing), then fresh ginger and pepper. It’s very spicy, much spicier than spiced rum, which is usually very sweet (don’t ask, the world of rum is full of contradictions). What’s troubling is that I’m also finding notes of aniseed-led herbal liqueur that, indeed, may hint at Chartreuse, but I’m sure that’s just my mind playing tricks on me. Finish: rather long, appropriately roughish, and pretty sweet, if not a tad sugary, quite curiously. But after all, Chartreuse is sweet too. Comments: in rum as well, veritas veritatis et omnia veritas (way too easy, S.) 85 points - whiskyfun.com

- JAMAICA$99.99$99.99Bottle$1,199.88DozenABV: 63%
New and noteworthy for anyone chasing elusive high-strength Caribbean white rums is this 63% ABV offering from Worthy Park. Sticking to tradition, it blends three un-aged rums, all 100% copper pot-distilled from three different marques (WPEL, WPL and WPE). An alternative to Wray & Nephew's Overproof or Haitian Clairins, it guarantees to maximise flavour, 'funk' and mouthfeel. Recommended with a grapefruit soda for a tasty Summer cocktail.
Tasting note: Clear. Piquant and spirity aromas suggesting green olive brine, sour dough, bitter cocoa and later hints of creamy soda. Extreme abv yet surprisingly relaxed, rounded and full with creamy textured flavours of brown sugar and vanilla cake frosting countered by a grassy / caney / peppery vibrancy. Finishes tingling, almost fruity (dried banana, mango), oily, medium long. First rate white rum. 63% Alc.Vol.
Other reviews... Anyone buying this should not view this as a super charged Bacardi. The only similarity is the colour. If you enjoy a Sting-Wray then you might want to consider trying this instead. I personally think this might have just a little bit more flavour. 4 Stars - thefatrumpirate.com
Notes from the producers... On the nose the banana notes dominate with a beautiful balance of other exotic fruit continuing through to the pallet supported with that classic grassy vegetal Jamaican funk.

"made by one company that remembers its roots and continues to distil a real rum." - thelonecaner.com
Ask a native where you could sample J.Wray & Nephew over-proof rum, and they will tell you knock on the door of any household. Such is the legendary status of this spirit that it accounts for 90% of rum sales in Jamaica. Other brands produced under the J.Wray & Nephew name are Captain Morgan, Coruba and the renowned Appleton Estate range. Use this product in classic rum punches with tropical juices. Alternate with flavoured rums and liqueurs for something new. Also great in the traditional Mai Tai and Daiquiri.
Other reviews... This is the flagship rum from Wray and the rum ... familiar instantly on the nose, with a mixture of citrus and petrol notes, very aromatic with florals and the raw alcoholic notes one expects from an overproof rum. The body is a bit tougher and astringent, slightly charcoal-dusted but otherwise intense with fruit, both citrus and tropical, with overtones of overripe banana, bubble gum, and a touch of eucalyptus on the finish. Surprisingly approachable despite the heavy alcohol level. - drinkhacker.com
...I’m not a huge white rum lover but this is as good as I have had. It will give a massive kick to tiki style cocktails, where it is very often used. W&N Overproof is very popular and highly regarded amongst bartenders and mixologists. Rightly so as well. The danger in this drink maybe that at 63% its very drinkable. At the price it is also very good value. W&N Overproof needs to be evaluated on what it is. It is a very good white overproof mixer. It’s availability and price makes it a no-brainer to have on hand. 4/5 stars - thefatrumpirate.com
...I have gained a sort of sneaking appreciation for overproofs, including this one, because while it lacks the subtlety of a more refined 40% variation (subtlety? don’t make me laugh…the thing is like a charging brontosaurus on steroids at rutting time), it makes an intense, strong, powerfully tasting mix with whatever you decide to chase it. Try adding cola to a 40% low-ender and then to the White Overproof and try and tell me this one doesn’t have more character, more taste, more…well, cojones. It absolutely is not afraid to charge the gates and get the hell off the reservation. When you drink J. Wray’s clear hooch, reader, there’s no ifs, ands or buts — you know Elvis has left the building; and didn’t just exit, he took off with rocket-powered, turbo-charged steel-toed boots. And a jet pack.... made by one company that remembers its roots and continues to distil a real rum. - thelonecaner.com
