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 Rum Funk :aromas and flavors of black banana and flambed pineapple, locally called “Hogo,” an Anglicization of the French term “Haut Got” (high taste).

TASTING NOTES

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
