The Wray & Nephew 17YO rum for Trader's Vic is a blend of aged rums which is very different from Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum which is unaged and overproof at 126% alcohol. A serving size is usually 1/2 a shot. Wray & Nephew White Overproof is actually very delicious with cranberry juice, Ting (grapefruit soda) or in traditional Jamaican Rum Punches. The easy way to make the traditional Jamaican rum punch is to think of this formula:

1 of sour (lime juice)
2 of sweet (simple syrup)
3 of strong (1 1/2 Wray & Nephew Overproof rum, 1 1/2 Appleton rum)
4 of weak (orange and/or pineapple juice)
