You can do better for the money. Bottom-third reviews at a mid-range price. RumX drinkers give it 7/10 across 385 ratings, vs. 7.1/10 for the typical rum (730 rated). The Fat Rum Pirate gives it 2.5/5, vs. 4/5 for the typical rum (921 rated).
Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry is a 100% pot still Jamaican rum, blended from Long Pond and Clarendon distillate by Maison Ferrand's Plantation (now Planteray) label. Bottled at 43% ABV with zero dosage, it revives the traditional, high-ester "Jamaican funk" style rums of the 19th century and has earned acclaim including a Double Platinum medal at the ASCOT Awards.
