Jelani “Lani” Wray owns and operates Wray's Caribbean and Seafood Cuisine. Among the unique breakfast menu items Wray's offers are catfish or chicken waffles, with the waffles infused with Jamaican rum.
A tradition in Jamaica dating back to the mid-18th century, there were approximately 100 distilleries across the island nation in the heyday of the late1800s. Although there are relatively few distilleries remaining, they are still known for the superior quality of their product.
Another distinct aspect of Jamaican rum is that evaporation of spirits kept in barrels occurs much faster than in Northern European countries. What this means in practice is that a Caribbean rum barrel-aged for two decades has the same maturity level as a 60-year old single-malt Scotch.
Leading makers such as Appleton Estate combine several varieties of sugar cane to create a full-bodied flavor that can have notes ranging from buttery to toasted. When aged in oak, the mature rum has a complex, smooth quality with distinctive vanilla notes. Wray's Caribbean and Seafood Cuisine features a number of signature drinks that incorporate Jamaican rum.
