Plantation Description
Very complex, slightly smoky and meaty with fruity, herbal and sour notes building up. Next vanilla comes forward, almost pastry-like, with cooked banana, bitter orange peel and ripe pineapple. Dry, on the palate with a more floral and fruitier profile of rose water, soursop, pear, white grape, apricot and sugar-apple. Next some coconut milk, balsam, allspices, bread and nuts emerge.
With Xaymaca Special Dry, Plantation revives the quintessential Jamaican-style, 100% pot still rums of the 19th century with an expression of intense flavors that reveal the traditional, legendary « Rum Funk » aromas and flavors of black banana and flambéed pineapple, locally called "Hogo," an Anglicization of the French term  "Haut Goût" (high taste).
Xaymaca Special Dry is a blend of rums distilled in the old John Dore pot still at Long Pond and the Vendome at Clarendon. The idea is to boldly assert the powerful and expressive character of these rums.
