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.

Nose is vanilla and tropic fruits... banana
Buttery Xmas spices on the palate with a lovely roasted finish that lingers. Sugared up the wazoo, but a guaranteed crowd pleaser

The bottle is a precious one, I really like it. But the content inside is even better. A very easy-to-drink rum with just the right amount of sweetness (and I do like sweet rums), vanilla (and more) taste and a long, great finish. Always worth a sip!
Out of all the rums I've tried, this has to be my favorite by far. Very smooth, not too many sweet tastes. Definitely a hint of vanilla on the palate and no harsh alcohol tastes. Definitely top of my "will buy again" list.

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.
I would say that this rum is the best, if you find a better , tell me.

...all time favorites. I know sugar has been added, but hey the destiller plays with open cards and is not trying to hide any information. In addition Plantation is one of my favorite brands and this also because they know what they are doing!

World class. I’d put this up against any rum in the world, any price, in a blind tasting.

Love this stuff, have had a couple of bottles now and would say it’s definitely my favourite rum so far.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

Assemblage des plus vieilles réserves de la maison, ce rhum est une pure merveille : vieillis de très longues années dans les Caraïbes, les rhums sélectionnés pour cet assemblage sont ensuite minutieusement assemblés par notre maître de Chai, au Château de Bonbonnet, puis affinés dans de petites barriques de chêne français pendant 12 à 18 mois supplémentaires.
Ce « double ageing » apporte à ce rhum une rondeur en bouche et un velouté incomparable. De couleur vieil acajou, Plantation XO 20th Anniversaire révèle un nez aux notes exotiques de canne à sucre, vanille boisée et noix de coco grillée, complétées par des effluves plus complexes de cacao, d’orange confite et de boite à cigare.
