In 1997, Joy Spence was made the master blender at J. Wray and Nephew– the first woman ever to occupy this position in the industry. [4] J. Wray and Nephew Ltd. is a distiller, blender, and bottler of rum, originating and operating in Jamaica.

Appleton Estate Rums are still produced on the Estate, which encompasses over 4,452ha (11,000 acres) of sugarcane, a sugarcane refinery, and the Distillery. [7] The history of J. Wray and Nephew began in 1825 when company founder John Wray opened 'The Shakespeare Tavern' in Kingston, Jamaica. Kingston grew steadily and eventually became Jamaica's capital in 1877, and The Shakespeare Tavern became highly successful. Then, company founder John Wray opened The Shakespeare Tavern in Kingston. In 1860 Wray brought in his nephew, Charles James Ward, to run the business side of the company. Thus the name Wray & Nephew.

Sainsbury's Superior Dark Rum (Gold medal winner in the Rum category at the 2010 International Wine and Spirit Awards [6]) At 126 proof (63% alcohol by volume), it’s also damn strong. And that high proof makes it quite popular in frozen drinks, rum punches, and other mixers. Good for ghosts?

In Jamaica, ghosts, spirits, and other supernatural beings are collectively referred to as duppies. Rolling Calf and Old Higue are two of the more notorious duppies that are said to haunt people at night all across Jamaica. To keep the duppies at bay, Jamaicans often sprinkle White Overproof rum over the foundations of new houses as their being built. I’ve read that Jamaicans prefer the white overproof over dark rums because there’s a sense that it’s somehow purer. And therefore, better for their health. And that belief certainly translates into sales. As it’s estimated that Wray and Nephew accounts for 90% of all rum sold in Jamaica! Wray and Nephew White Overproof RumOverproof spirits are good for a couple of reasons. First, historically, they held up better during long trips at sea (on the British side, this was often also called“navy-proof”). Second, and perhaps more importantly (unless you’re a Colonial-era midshipman), overproof rum flavors tend to stand up when mixed into drinks. The notes and palate that you’ll get with a straight shot of the spirit will still be present when mixed with sugary liquids, such as juices or other mixers. If you happen to be in an older home, though, you might as well just drink some of this stuff. After a few shots, you’ll be out so cold that even the loudest and most mischievous duppies won’t bother you.
