Plantation XAYMACA Special Dry Rum 43% vol. 0.70l

The Plantation Xaymaca truly lives up to its name: Special Dry. This 4-year-old molasses rum from the French bottler Ferrand does full justice to a Jamaican rum. Its dry character perfectly emphasizes its full ester notes and brings its fruit and spices to the fore.

Tasting Notes

Nose: tropical fruit notes of bananas and pineapples, interspersed with ester notes, plums, subtle smoky spice, and oak notes.
Palate: dry, heavy, and powerful texture, with caramel cream, rose petals, grapes, apricots, cinnamon, plums, raisins, and pronounced alcohol accents.
Finish: medium-long spicy finish
Plantation Xaymaca: a Jamaican blend, refined in France

The pot-still molasses rums for this Plantation bottling come from Jamaica and were distilled by the Clarendon and Long Pond Distilleries (Ferrand has owned shares in these distilleries since 2017). After their 3-year maturation in Jamaica, the rums are shipped to France, where they are blended and aged for another year in small cognac barrels. Xaymaca, by the way, translated from Arawak, means nothing other than Jamaica.
