Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum

Its bold and dry profile makes it an exceptional base for classic tiki cocktails and rum punches. It truly sings in a traditional Mai Tai, where its tropical fruit notes and rich texture easily cut through the sweet orgeat and citrus. It is also highly enjoyable poured neat for those who appreciate a dry and highly complex spirit.

Nose: Highly complex with a smoky, fruity opening. Notes of cooked banana, bitter orange peel, and ripe pineapple give way to a warm vanilla sweetness.

Palate: Bone dry and vibrantly fruity. Flavors of apricot, white grape, and pear mix beautifully with floral rose water and subtle baking spice.

Finish: Long and satisfying, leaving warm notes of coconut milk, allspice, and toasted nuts.

This blend consists entirely of molasses-based rums distilled in traditional John Dore and Vendome copper pot stills at Jamaica's Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries. After aging for one to three years in ex-bourbon barrels in the tropical Jamaican climate, the rum travels to France for one final year of continental maturation in French oak ex-Cognac casks.

• The name "Xaymaca" pays homage to the original Arawak name for the island of Jamaica, which translates to "land of wood and water."
• Unlike many other releases in the Planteray portfolio, Xaymaca Special Dry contains exactly zero grams of added sugar.
• Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel worked directly with the historic Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries to create a blend that specifically highlights the legendary, high-ester "hogo" flavor unique to traditional Jamaican rum.
