Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum is a Rum from the Planteray Rums Collection brand hailing from Jamaica.

What is Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum?

Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum is a vibrant expression of traditional Jamaican rum-making, offering a bold and funky flavor profile that's quintessentially Jamaican. What's particularly fascinating is that this rum is crafted using a technique called "double retort distillation," a method that dates back to the 17th century and involves recycling a portion of the vapor from each distillation run, resulting in a more concentrated and flavorful spirit.

Why do we love Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum for its bold, funky flavors that capture the essence of traditional Jamaican pot still distillation. This rum stands out with its blend of long-aged spirits from the legendary Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries, offering a perfect balance of fruity esters and subtle smoke that adds complexity to classic cocktails like the Mai Tai or Daiquiri.

How do you drink Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum?

Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum shines in classic tiki cocktails and tropical drinks, where its bold flavors can take center stage, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or with a large ice cube to appreciate its complex character. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing wonderfully with spicy jerk chicken or grilled pineapple for a true taste of the Caribbean.

Nose: Banana, pineapple, and overripe mango lead the charge, followed by subtle vanilla and caramel notes. A hint of grassiness and oak lingers in the background, reminiscent of damp earth after rain.

Palate: Dry and complex with a strong molasses character. Tropical fruit flavors dominate - ripe banana, grilled pineapple, and a touch of coconut. Spicy notes of black pepper and clove emerge, balanced by a slight nuttiness and dark chocolate bitterness.

Finish: Long and warming with a pronounced funkiness typical of Jamaican rum. Dried fruit and oak tannins linger, accompanied by a subtle smokiness and a final whisper of vanilla. The dryness persists, leaving a pleasant, slightly astringent sensation on the tongue.

Planteray Xaymaca Special Dry Rum is crafted using a blend of pot-still rums from two iconic Jamaican distilleries, Long Pond and Clarendon. The rum undergoes a unique two-stage aging process, first in bourbon casks in Jamaica, then shipped to France for additional maturation in Cognac casks, resulting in a complex and distinctively Jamaican flavor profile.

  • Planteray Xaymaca is crafted using a unique "double retort" pot still distillation method, a technique that dates back to the 17th century and is rarely used today. This process creates a more intense, flavorful rum by recycling vapor through copper pipes multiple times.
  • The name "Xaymaca" is derived from the Arawak word for Jamaica, meaning "land of wood and water." This pays homage to the island's lush forests and abundant springs, which contribute to the rum's distinct terroir.
  • Unlike many modern rums, Planteray Xaymaca is fermented using wild yeasts native to Jamaica, rather than cultivated strains. This spontaneous fermentation process adds unpredictable and complex flavors that can't be replicated in a lab.

      I’m no expert but this was a really good rum. I used it in a few drinks and it blended perfectly.
