Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Tasted next to the Appleton 12 Rare Casks and liked this better because of it's slight sweetness without dosage. Unmistakable Jamaican nose of ester funk and full body, but short finish.

Somehow I was not very impressed, absolute average.

Perhaps not as funky as it could be, but the funk is definitely there. True to the name, it is also on the drier side. Smooth enough, and mixes well.

Very good starting point to dry rums. Fruits, peat, smoke and some herbs in smell. Some pepper and spice too.

Sweetish aroma, body a bit stronger than expected in a good way though. Strong alcohol taste.

Fine rum to sip, but an underlying taste of bananas that have gone bad whichbis not to my liking

I did not enjoy this rum due to its dry and strong taste and smoked overtones.

Maybe I am not experienced enough, but from my point of view is the taste of this rum too agressive. And as the etiquette says, it's very dry. Taste isn't bad at all and it's worthy to try it.

Tasty but little bit spicy, good taste smell as well, but nothing great, average rum

Nice complicated flavor, not as smooth as their 5yr blend, but at a price that’s hard to beat. I drink it neat; it’s just a nice “everyday” sipper.
