Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Poured neat it has a wonderfully sweet aroma that reminds me of dried pineapple. The first sip is strong, with a lot of flavor up front and a bit of burn in the back that lets you know it's packing 50% ABV (100 Proof). This is a great example of Jamaican Funk, with the taste of raisins and over-ripe fruit that leaves behind a sweet spiciness that makes you lick your lips and go back for another sip. An ice cube mellows the burn a bit, and gives you a bit more fruitiness. This would feature well in a tiki cocktail, but makes for a good sipper if you enjoy Jamaican Funk.

Oproti ostatním rumům od Plantation je tento ve vůni trochu ostřejší a výraznější. Je cítit po tropickém ovoci, vanilce a pomerančích. Vůně, která převažuje připomíná rumové pralinky. V chuti převládají právě ony rumové pralinky a pak následuje tropické ovoce, vanilka, pomeranč. Rum je jen mírně nasládlý. Další rum od firmy Plantation, který rozhodně nezklamal a stál za ochutnání.

Is this stuff a hallmark, a standard to which you should hold other jamaican rums? Absolutely not! But, does this stuff taste good? Why yes, yes it does!! Heavy handed with the normal tropical fruit stuff you expect from Plantation (pineapple, champagne mango) but dirtied up with some distinct green olive flavor, and just enough funk dancing around the edges. It's a great, great thing to try, but I would definitely recommend trying before committing to a full bottle.

Great body. Strong but round and with a delightful lengthy ending.

I haven't had much experience with Jamaican rums, yet, but knowing that I have enjoyed the Plantation brand, I knew I would enjoy this one. I could taste banana and pineapple, however not overly sweet either. I enjoyed this one neat and will have to try on the rocks.

A lovely dry rum , basically comes from Jamaican stocks that plantation have released as prrof that they can still produce good rums without dosing the liquid with suger.

On taste your palate is shown flavours of bannana and pineapple and loads of Jamaican funk!!

The aftertaste is beautifully dry which for me personally is a bit too dry and I'm a massive dry rum fan ...

Great showing

Příjemná vůně rumového aroma. Prý vyhrál zlatou medaili v Německu. Není to špatné, ale za tu cenu se standardně nedá moc čekat. Je opravdu DRY! to ho ale zase řadí o chlup výš. Asi dost dělají tradiční sudy po šampaňském. Chutná ušlechtile, ale není pro každý den.

I was very pleased with this rum! Nice smell, lively fruity flavor, well composed taste...

Carmalized banana and syrupy pineapple lead among drying herbal notes and prickles of brown spices. This 100% pot still Jamaican rum made with a blend of spirits from Long Pond and Clarendon distilleries, which Maison Ferrand now owns a third of after purchasing the West Indies Rum Distillery in 2017. Master blender Alexandre Gabriel created the Xaymaca (pronounced zay-muck-uh) brand, which is the original name for Jamaica that the indigenous Arawaks, who inhabited Jamaica well before Columbus set foot on the island in 1494, gave it. Xaymaca actually means 'land of wood and water.'
