Coruba White Overproof

Coruba White Overproof is a high-strength unaged Jamaican white, the kind of clear, punchy spirit built for cocktails and long drinks rather than slow sipping. Distilled from molasses and bottled at 64%, it puts the raw island spirit front and centre with no oak to soften it.

The nose is bright and citrussy, dominated by lime and lime peel with a fruity edge, and the palate carries that citrus alongside a clear hit of alcohol that comes with the territory at this proof. The finish turns spicy, earthy and faintly nutty. Unsweetened and unaged, it is more about zing and intensity than depth, exactly what an overproof white is for. Used in a daiquiri or a punch it brings backbone and lime-driven freshness, but neat at 64% it is a fierce, simple thing best treated as a mixing workhorse.
