Plantation Xaymaca Special Dry

Drinking it by itself has so much but that lingers so long. However, in a rum and cola, it smooths out and adds a sweet note that's kind of light.

Aroma is promissing, full of vanila, bananna and fruits, but taste is weaker with small and not complex body. Short aftertaste.

Tom Browne would be proud !
Nice 43%abv 100% pot still rum with no plantation dosage. The small amount of sweetness comes from the over ripe pineapple and bananas. Very fruity and floral in the nose plus some nail polish remover ! Plenty of funk and a bit of a bite. I need to be in the right mood for this one but its something different which is good. Will try in a couple of cocktails as I think it will perform well.

I am quite new to Rum, and i find this a little too dry for me. Think i need to find something sweeter.

Definitely worth enjoying but lacks the notable Jamaican deliciousness of other Plantation rums

un très bon rapport qualité prix. A offrir ou à avoir dans sa cave. pas prise de tête sa marche bien c'est simple et c'est Jamaïcain!!

Non-sugared from Plantation - What a delight! And it IS a nice product, albeit not an ester-bomb as one might expect. Nose does have that hefty ester count, but taste is more subdued (possibly due to the cognac cask use). Still, nothing to put down I feel. A very good Rum.

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.
