This one is silky smooth from start to finish - there is no unpleasant burn, just gentle velvety ending, just the way I like it. It is also quite sweet, I can feel vanilla, caramel and perhaps even coconut accents. This rum convinced me to go and give rums a chance.
Great coconut- and vanilla-flavor.
Smooth and not too sweet.
Fantastic rum with nice sweetness and a coconut taste. It's one of my all time favorites and accompanies a nice summer dessert like ice cream or fruits. Yummy!
I liked the diplomatico reserva exclusica but this one exceeds it in my opinion. He is perfectly balanced in his strength and sweetness. A true delight!
I had the opportunity to taste this good rum from Barbados. Clasic, off-swet rum, with medium intense citrus nose, harmonic and enjoyable warm rum. Very long, integrated alkohol.
Along the lines of most plantation rums. Smooth with candy like notes but you get a nice toffee bouquet taste. Very smooth with no bitter or heat down the throat. Well worth the awards
This is a hidden treasure it is a real wonderful sipper. Maybe one Ice cube ? (not). I just like adding time, let it rest and enjoy.
All the best
Nothing overly exciting but aged to a very high quality.
Very smooth, buttery after taste. I could easily have this drink all night.
Lots of coconut, smooth in the back. Hint of chocolate.
Enjoyable drink.

Over a year ago I reviewed Plantation XO from Barbados. I was excited when I found it at a big liquor warehouse. But it was a different bottle and different experience. Sill a very good rum. But not as I reviewed in 2015. Until now I hadn't realized the bottle that showed up in my review cabinet was not what I had reviewed.
I'm posting a photo showing both bottles. I'm still not sure what the difference is? Both are 20th anniversary edition. Both are XO but no specific age. Both are Barbados rum. Reading all the reviews of both bottles, it appears that many reviews 'may' be posted under the incorrect bottle design. There's no way to know it, unless you really study the bottle but the details are the same. If anyone has addressed this I haven't seen it. I'll probably start a new forum thread in search of an explanation.
The rum I Prefer and gave a 9 to is the shorter, squater bottle without the string/rope mesh around the bottle.
The bottle with the mesh is slightly less sweet. It is darker, than the honey gold of the shorter bottle. It doesn't have as much complexity. It's still a decent sipper but falls short of great.
Here's my original review. It is for the shorter, squater, empty:-( bottle on the left.
This is a very complex rum. It's not overly sweet and through the aging process used it does share some characteristics of Cognac. There is a fair amount of oak for a rum. Vanilla, caramel and I think I'm picking up coconut and even chocolate. There's no burn and a long finish. If you're going to spend the money know your rums or you won't appreciate this as much as it deserves!
