Planteray
Xaymaca Special Dry Rum

Category: Rum (Aged more than 3 Years)

Date Tasted:
Country: Jamaica
Alcohol: 43%
Gold color. Aromas and flavors of grilled ripe pineapple, smoked banana peels, toffee and cardamom, and peanut brittle with a velvety, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish that exhibits impressions of dunder and umami smoke, grilled fruits, banana and pineapple, and roasted spiced nuts and cedar shavings. A youthful and vibrant Jamaican Rum with a little extra get up and go that let’s its tropical fruit flavors pop on the palate.

Rum Aged more than 3 Years

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.
