Plantation XO 20th Anniversary (old bottle)

Grab it immediately!!! It is the absolute BEST Rum under $75, period!
Smooth. Silky. Sweet, Beautiful presentation in and out of the bottle. A must have for ANY so called Rum Connoisseur! 🥃

Old bottle new bottle this is a very good rum, one of Plantations best. Dark rich and smooth. A bit sweet but a nice treat anytime. Hard to be 100% but slightly different flavors between old and new, but love them both.

Ok. The rum has been empty for a while now. I also have the new XO. The old one was one of my first premium rums. The well-balanced sweetness and mild barrel notes have made me a follower of Plantation. I thought it was more appealing than other comparable sweet rums. That's why I bought the successor. The only time I bought a rum again. Whether the successor is worse or whether my claim has grown, I can no longer say. For some time the old XO was one of the best i knew and an important component to recognize the high-quality rums are not to be found in the supermarket shelf and unfortunately not even at the local liquor store.

Ok. Der Rum ist schon etwas länger leer. Habe auch den neuen XO. Der alte war einer meiner ersten Premium Rums. Die gut ausbalancierte Süße und die milden Fassnoten haben mich zu einem Anhänger von Plantation gemacht. Hat sich immer viel ansprechender getrunken als andere vergleichbare gesüßten Rums. Habe mir deshalb auch den Nachfolger gekauft. Das einzige Mal das ich einen Rum erneut gekauft habe. Ob der Nachfolger schlechter ist oder mein Anspruch gewachsen ist kann ich nicht mehr sagen. Der alte XO war für mich lange einer der besten und ein wichtiger Bestandteil zu erkennen das hochwertige Rums nicht im Supermarkt Regal und leider nicht mal bei dem örtlichen Getränke Händler zu finden sind.

Again, the sugar "dosage" destroys this product and makes it loose its uniqueness. Sad.

A strong note and taste of vanilla. Still very balanced.

Mein lieblings Rum. Sehr lecker wird nie wieder im Schrank fehlen

I love this rum unconditionally. Sipped neat, the taste, aroma and finish are hard to beat. I delight in insisting that friends and acquaintances who “do not like rum” give this a try. Without exception they’ve all loved it and given up their pre-conceived notions that rum is not for them

Explosion de saveur en bouche. Tres doux avec une bonne longueur.

The taste is just perfect, and the bottle is nice.

My good friend Mark had me over for a rum tasting last night, this was the first I sampled, thoroughly sublime with a slight butterscotch or caramel hint, also a bit of fruit notes. Not overly sweet though, well balanced and smooth, top notch sipper! This, Diplimatico, Papa’s Pilar and El Dorado are my current favorites. Thanks Mark!
