Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Loved this rum. It is relatively inexpensive if you can get a hold of it. But super enjoyable and can drink it on the rocks.

It’s pretty good. There is some funkiness on the nose, none detected on the palate. On the nose I get some rather odd notes to begin - both green onion and soy sauce share the stage with cinnamon, pastry and something like a menthol note. Strange as this may sound, it reminds me of the smell of the waiting area at the dentist! The palate is lovely, dry, with nevertheless a round mouthfeel including brown sugar, cinnamon drops and some heat on the sides of the tongue for a finish. It’s interesting!

Not the best plantation, but not the worst either. A good middle class rum.

This is a very sippable rum. The oak is prominent, with some spice. I could see this being good as a mixer also.

Grassy, a bit of smoke, raised from 5 to 7 as I came to like the Jamaica styles.

I didn't know rum could be dry, but this one is. Tough to sip and mix...but someone out there will love it.

It’s a blend of five rums (1-17 years old) I’ve tasted each one of them and I have to admit that 17yo jamaican rum is divine(probably the best rum I’ve ever had!!!
Xaymaca is a cheap rum but it has a great taste, very fruity, you can sip it or mix it in a mai tai

I really enjoyed this one. As the name says it’s very dry but in GOOD way. I don’t do tastings note in my reviews. But its not thick sticky sweet. The price is VERY responsible for what you get. Good enough to sip cheap enough to mix. A whiskey scotch drinker would enjoy it. I will definitely buy it again.

to me that is really not tastfull, i had some jamaican rums but this one is poor and bad

well here it goes, a new plantation signature blend. An glory Jamaican adventure? Aroma is truly that, full of fruits, a bit of bourbon sweetness. Taste not so interesting, as it smell. Finish not long enough. I Believe this one is missed one. Cognac cask and Jamaican rum are not dancing each other. But still this is Plantation brand, so it is fresh, great mixer!
