Plantation XO 20th Anniversary (old bottle)

This is just lacking a complexity that I was looking for still a great rum

I put this in a flight against Dos Maderas 5+5 and First Run. Straight sipping and mixed with cola and fresh limes it was a close number 2 behind Dos Maderas. Great colour and texture, need to buy more...we oversampled...heh heh.

A nice flavor. Not too overpowering. Not much of a aftertaste

Sweet and spicy. I NEED MORE CHARACTERS TO FILL THE MINIMUM.

I have tried quite some rums, I have done several bigger rum tastings, I do compare rums just for fun during evenings, if the atmosphere is right and still this one never let me down. It is so full of aromas, nosing is extremely pleasant, taste is smooth, there is such a nice feeling in the throat and the the warmth... its the best Plantation for me and the best rum overall!

Note: I did not want to rate 10, but it serves me as a fixed standard to rate other rums... and I look forward to the moment, when I will find a new standard or at least a brother for the 10 rating.

Rigtig god rom, tilpas med sødme og ikke alt for meget abrikos - bliver til en rigtig god Cuba libre

easy drinking rum, will definitely keep some on hand

Not the vanilla taste but coconut.
Not to sweet and smooth enough.
I like it

Very sweet! You can really taste the banana and coconut. Well crafted but I'm not sure I like the overly sweetness.

Nice balance, great sipper. Coconut, caramel & coffee. Great value.
