Plantation Jamaican Rum Xaymaca Special Dry 70cl 43%

100% POT STILL JAMAICAN RUM

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 脗芦脗 Rum Funk 脗禄 :脗 aromas and flavors of black banana and flamb脙漏ed pineapple, locally called "Hogo," an Anglicization of the French term脗 "Haut Go脙禄t" (high taste).

"With Xaymaca Special Dry, I wanted to dive into the iconic culture that is unique to Jamaican rum. I wanted to work with these complex flavors of overripe exotic fruits with an almost "animal intensity". We can still find certain white rums with this famous 脗芦 rum funk 脗禄. I think, however, that this great terroir expresses itself perfectly in an aged rum. That is why we are launching Xaymaca Special Dry, which is a tribute to this ancestral culture of rum" explains Alexandre Gabriel, Master Blender and creator of Plantation Rum.

TASTING NOTES

Nose :脗 Very complex, slightly smoky and meaty with fruity, herbal and sour notes building up. Next vanilla come forward, almost pastry-like, with cooked banana, bitter orange peel and ripe pineapple.

Palate : Dry, 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.

PERFECT SERVE

Xaymaca Special Dry is an excellent tasting rum, to be enjoyed like a great dry whisky or with a large ice cube and even a splash of pure water to reveal its smoky aromas.

It is also delicious in cocktails,脗 the signtaure is the Xaymaca Collins. For a refreshing drink, pour 5cl of Xaymaca Special Dry, 2cl of simple syrup and 2cl of lime juice into a glass filled with ice cubes, stir, top with soda, and drink!
