This is really great to see, J. Wray and Nephew brand rums are the original rums of Jamaica, they have such a bold pot stilled flavor and are the rums of choice for the people of Jamaica. The familar green and yellow label of J. Wray and Nephew Overproof Rum is legendary and I'm sure these two will follow in their footsteps.
The oldest continuously operating rum producer in Jamaica, J. Wray &
Nephew Ltd., is giving two of its classic rums a Jamaican inspired makeover,
along with a new name for the introduction of J.Wray™ Jamaica Rum Gold and
Silver. “J. Wray & Nephew Ltd. has
a special place in spirits lore with a legacy of more than two centuries
crafting high-quality rums,” said Christine Moll, Category Director-Rum, at
Campari America. “J.Wray Jamaica Rum
offers an enticing and authentic Jamaican rum to enjoy in flavorful cocktails. The lively packaging firmly ties the rums to
the brand’s storied history and ensures they visually stand out on the shelf.”
J.Wray Jamaica Rums replace
Appleton Special Jamaica Rum and Appleton White respectively in the USA. The
eye-catching packaging highlighted by traditional bright, vibrant colors evokes
the alluring and free-spirited vibe characteristic of Jamaica. Smooth and light-bodied, J.Wray Jamaica Rum
Silver is a white rum that’s aged and filtered slowly through special charcoal
filters. Clean and crisp, the brilliantly clear rum is light and fruity with
pear and apple notes. This critically-acclaimed rum was recently awarded 91
points in the 2016 Ultimate Spirits Challenge.
This dazzling, warm golden rum is smooth and fruity with a rich body,
long finish and hints of exotic spices. A gold medal recipient at the 2016 San
Francisco World Spirits Competition, J.Wray Gold is already being recommended
by the world’s top bartenders and spirits writers.
