Description

The Appleton Estate is the oldest established producer of Jamaican rum, having been founded in 1749. While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it is accurate, it is not a substitute for your reading the product packaging and label prior to use.

A blend of three unaged pot still Jamaican rums, this release from Worthy Park Estate is made is 100% Pot Still distilled rum and, unlike other Jamaican rums, it was not created using Dunder pits. Embrace the full strength of Wray and Nephew White Overproof Rum, the original rum of the Jamaican people that has been bottled on the Caribbean island for almost 200 years. You can tell the difference - Appleton White is a light-bodied rum that is brilliantly clear and exceptionally smooth with a light fruity bouquest with delicate pear and apple notes. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.The rum is often used in tropical themed cocktail with strong fruit flavours to create harmony with the strength of the rum. Also the National Rums of Jamaica is a three-way partnership between Demerara Distillers Limited, Maison Ferrand and the Jamaican government (National Sugar Company). There are also a large proportion of pot-stills in use in the Jamaican rum industry, giving the rums a fuller body and more robust profile than those from other islands. As it turns out, this preliminary step yields no smoking gun – no specific branded rums are listed as Jamaican overproof or variations on the term. Jamaican white proof or overproof rums didn’t appear to be exported from Jamaica prior to the mid-1960s and probably didn’t arrive in the US until the 1970s.

The last line in the list says: “ANY BRAND White Proof or Overproof,” which we can reasonably assume meant they were considered equivalent by the government. However, in looking over various Jamaican rum brand portfolios, something interesting popped up fairly often and across brands: white proof rum. uk accepts no liability for inaccuracies or misstatements about products by manufacturers or other third parties. The Monymusk Estate is one of the oldest estates in Jamaica still involved in sugar and rum production. Having reviewed two Beachcomber rum lists (1937, 1941) and the Mai Kai’s alcohol purchase records from the late 1950s, no Jamaican proof white or white proof rums are to be found.The white proof term disappeared from the newspaper for the most part until the 1930s, when we see the earliest mention of a specific branded expression dubbed white proof rum. However, this version seems to have disappeared from US markets until 1987, wherein it was bottled at today’s 63% ABV.

Like so many of the classic cocktail favourites, the origins of the Mojito cocktail have been lost and blurred over the years. Uncle Wray as its known, is a full strength white rum and a staple in Jamaican households, 90% of rum sales in Jamaica are of Wray and Nephew.

Wray and Nephew is made from a blend of pot and column still rums, and has a strong flavour profile that is characterized by notes of ripe banana, pineapple, and spice. Today’s example: while analyzing the rums used during Tiki’s “golden era” during the writing of Minimalist Tiki I realized that no classic Tiki recipes used unaged Jamaican overproof rum—as we know it today.
