Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum

Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry is the expression that revives Jamaica's most legendary and historically significant rum tradition — and the bottle that introduced a generation of cocktail drinkers to the authentic funk of 19th-century Jamaican pot still rum. Xaymaca is the original Arawak name for Jamaica, meaning "land of wood and water" — and the rum is as deeply rooted in that heritage as the name suggests. A 92-point, Double Gold award winner, Xaymaca is a 100% pot still Jamaican rum — something increasingly rare — blending spirits from two of Jamaica's most celebrated distilleries and two of its most distinct pot stills: the old John Dore pot still at Long Pond and the Vendome at Clarendon, each producing dramatically different rum characters that marry beautifully under Alexandre Gabriel's blending expertise. Fermented for one to three weeks for maximum ester development — 156 g/hL — then finished in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks, with zero grams per liter of added sugar. The nose is very complex and slightly smoky — meaty and fruity with vanilla, cooked banana, bitter orange peel, and ripe pineapple building to a pastry-like warmth — while the dry palate delivers rose water, soursop, pear, white grape, apricot, sugar-apple, coconut milk, balsam, allspice, and bread — finishing medium-long with lingering alkali dryness and traditional Jamaican funk. One of the eight top rums in the world at the 2023 International Wine & Spirits Competition. Buy Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum online with fast shipping right to your door.
