     With Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry Rum was a dive into the iconic culture that is unique to Jamaica rums.  Working with the complex flavors of overripe exotic fruits with an almost “animal intensity” this rum is a tribute to this ancestral culture of rum.  The name pays homage to the history of Jamaica and “Xaymica” the name that was given Jamaica originally by those that originally dwelled on the island.

     Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry revives the quintessential Jamaican-style, 100% pot still rums of the 19th century with an expression of intense flavors that reveal the traditional, legendary Jamaican “rum funk.” Plantation Xaymaca is a blend of rums distilled in the old John Dore pot still at Long Pond and the Vendome pot still at Clarendon, two legendary Jamaican distilleries, owned in part by Maison Ferrand, producer of Plantation Rums.   Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry is bottled at 43% ABV,86 proof, and a suggested price of $24.99.  It is available in the U.S. today.
