- Description
- This rare Wray & Nephew 25 Year Old was released in 1987 to commemorate Jamaica's 25th independence anniversary and was never sold commercially—distributed only to distillery staff. At 43% ABV, it represents a period in Jamaican rum production now largely historical, capturing the funk and character of 1960s-era spirit aged a quarter-century. The spirit balances intensity with maturity, offering layers of tropical fruit, spice, and the distinctive Jamaican funk tempered by two decades of oak influence. A significant bottle for rum historians and collectors.
