What is Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum?
Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum is a vibrant expression of traditional Jamaican rum-making, offering a bold and funky flavor profile that's quintessentially Jamaican. What's particularly fascinating is that this rum is crafted using a technique called "double retort distillation," a method that dates back to the 17th century and involves recycling a portion of the vapor from each distillation run, resulting in a more concentrated and flavorful spirit.
Why do we love Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum for its bold, funky flavors that capture the essence of traditional Jamaican pot still distillation. This rum stands out with its blend of long-aged spirits from the legendary Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries, offering a perfect balance of fruity esters and subtle smoke that adds complexity to classic cocktails like the Mai Tai or Daiquiri.
How do you drink Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum?
Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum shines in classic tiki cocktails and tropical drinks, where its bold flavors can take center stage, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or with a large ice cube to appreciate its complex character. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing wonderfully with spicy jerk chicken or grilled pineapple for a true taste of the Caribbean.

Nose: Banana, pineapple, and overripe mango lead the charge, followed by subtle vanilla and caramel notes. A hint of grassiness and oak lingers in the background, reminiscent of damp earth after rain.
Palate: Dry and complex with a strong molasses character. Tropical fruit flavors dominate - ripe banana, grilled pineapple, and a touch of coconut. Spicy notes of black pepper and clove emerge, balanced by a slight nuttiness and dark chocolate bitterness.
Finish: Long and warming with a pronounced funkiness typical of Jamaican rum. Dried fruit and oak tannins linger, accompanied by a subtle smokiness and a final whisper of vanilla. The dryness persists, leaving a pleasant, slightly astringent sensation on the tongue.
Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Jamaican Rum is crafted using a blend of pot-still rums from two iconic Jamaican distilleries, Long Pond and Clarendon. The rum undergoes a unique two-stage aging process, first in bourbon casks in Jamaica, then shipped to France for additional maturation in Cognac casks, resulting in a complex and distinctively Jamaican flavor profile.
