Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still Distilled
Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum is a combination of pot-stilled and column-stilled Barbadian rums that are initially aged in the Caribbean in ex-bourbon casks for 12-20 years. They are then transported to France for a second 12-18 months aging in small French oak casks.
The first bottle of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary was created for the head of Cognac Ferrand Estate Alexandre Gabriel to honor his 20th year running the company. This special gift has resulted in the bottling we see today.

Sweet suggar and vanila taste. Little bit burning in mouth, smooth end.
One of the very good ones, but I still prefer Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva 12yo.

A classical rum. Taste is very smooth and light with nice after taste. I really enjoyed the packing and bottle as well.

Simply amazing Rum. Also very good for introducing new people to the wonderful taste of carribean Rums.
The only reason I haven't given this rum 10 out of 10 is that I am still relatively new to sipping rums and haven't yet had enough to say it is the best of the best. It is however the best rum I have had to date and at around Β£45 per bottle does not break the bank.
The colour is light compared to many rums, a deep golden sand colour if you will. The aroma is not overly strong and apart from some warmth when you swallow, there is no burn in the mouth; no harshness at all.
The flavour is complex and light to medium in depth of flavour. It is slighty sweet, there are hints of vanilla but more prominent for me is the taste of coconut water in the first few sips.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who has not yet tried it. I personally can't fault it and believe it is as good as many that are twice the price...

This rum has a full body, with Carmel and banana notes. A very nice sipper.

Excellent choice for a cold evening by a fire. Wonderfully full nose. On the body, slight sweetness and just a hint of oak. Not overly complex. Pleasant finish. Overall a nice experience.

Bought this one based on the reviews on this site, have to say it is really really good. It has a complex flavor profile without being too much in any area. Very smooth sipper with a rewarding aftertaste.
