Xaymaca Special Dry Rum
Category: Rum (Aged 3 years or less)
Date Tasted:
3/21/2023
Country: Jamaica
Alcohol: 43%
Gold color. Aromas and flavors of over ripe and baked tropical fruit medley, banana leaf and teak furniture, maple syrup, smoked ham, and pineapple, and seaweed with a round, dryish medium-to-full body and a medium-to-long finish with overtones of honey and plantain paste grilled in a banana leaf, anise and clove, cinnamon and nutmeg, and black tea. Fruity, funky, savory and all around complex; would be good for a Daiquiri or a Rum based Manhattan.

About
Rum (Aged 3 years or less)
Añejo and Age-Dated Rums are aged Rums from different vintages or batches that are mixed together to insure a continuity of flavor in brands of Rum from year to year. Some aged Rums will give age statements stating the youngest Rum in the blend (e.g., 10-year-old Rum contains a blend of Rums that are at least 10 years old). A small number of French island Rums are Vintage Dated.
