Wray & Nephew today (20) unveiled Wray’s 43, a limited-release white rum crafted for full-flavour, easy-to-mix drinks. It will be available exclusively to convenience retailers via Booker.
Bottled at 43 per cent ABV, Wray’s 43 is a unique blend of unaged Jamaica white rum with notes of rich fruits, charred pineapple, and molasses.
While inspired by the iconic Overproof, Wray’s 43 is not a diluted version but a distinct expression, offering a smooth, naturally sweet profile while retaining the bold character Wray & Nephew is known for.
Considered ‘a fresh way to Wray’, Wray’s 43 is now available exclusively through Booker for convenience store distribution and Amazon for direct consumer purchase (RRP £25).
With its full-bodied character, Wray’s 43 is ideal for long drinks, pairing perfectly with mixers like pineapple juice, ginger ale or coconut water.
The signature serve - Wray’s 43 & Pineapple – combines 25ml of Wray’s 43 topped with pineapple juice and garnished with either fresh pineapple or a lime wedge.
David Morrison, Deputy Master Blender at J. Wray & Nephew, said: “The launch of Wray’s 43 is an exciting new exploration for us. We have listened to our community and are providing rum lovers with a fresh way to experience the tropical flavours of Jamaica rum whilst staying true to the product’s authenticity. Full-flavour guaranteed!”
