Just released a
few months ago, Plantation
Xaymaca Special Dry Rum has won
its first Best
European Spirit/Bar Product at the Mixology Bar Awards 2019 in Berlin. The Mixology Bar Awards is the
kickoff to Bar Convent Berlin, considered the world’s largest bar-focused trade
show.
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.
