Description

With Xaymaca Special Dry, Plantation breathes new life into the 100% pot still rums typical of 19th-century Jamaican style, with an expression of intense flavors revealing the legendary traditional “Rum Funk”. Evoking the name given to the island by its first inhabitants, the Arawaks, Xaymaca Special Dry is a blend of rums distilled in Long Pond’s old John Dore and Clarendon’s Vendome.

Tasting note

Nose

Well-fruited nose of apple, pear, stewed grapes and candied cherry. The almond is also present, but caramelized. The profile is fine and the woodiness delicate. The occasional whiff of alcohol is still noticeable.

Palate

The fruitiness on the nose is more intense than on the palate. The apples and pears are rather macerated in brandy, but they give way to the woodiness, which brings a distinct bitterness to the finish. At times, almonds creep into the tasting, accompanied by a touch of sweetness as on the nose.

Overall

Long, accomplished. Finely chocolaty, it is also rancid (cherry brandy, apricot liqueur). It evokes the harvesters’ baskets filled with golden bunches of the folle blanche grape variety. Retro olfaction oscillates between prune, vanilla and dark chocolate. The empty glass is roasted (tobacco, coffee).
