Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still
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.

The best rum i ever tasted, well balanced with a great taste of vanilla.
Smooth sipping rum. Great value. Donβt spoil it with cola.
Sehr ausbalancierter weicher Rum mit vielen verschiedenen Noten. Tolle krΓ€ftige Farbe und ein wunderschΓΆnes Aroma.

Wow. Very strong apricot in the middle and I was getting hints of blackberry on the finish.
Each sip brings new flavour and it makes a wonderful addition to the cabinet.

Smooth, no excessive burn. Great as a sipper or with ice. Like liquid brown sugar, just beautiful for my pallete and the best I've tasted thus far.

One if my top 5 sipping rums. Very smooth with notes of molasses and banana. Please...never mix this beauty with ice
This pairs well with a Nica Libre Toro 1990 cigar. Just pour it over some ice and enjoy.

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.

This plantation has some very very good flavours in it. The bottle is a beautiful bottle which holds some sweet and flavourful content. Sipping this one is interesting. But take a glass or 2 or 3 and you want to finish the whole bottle!
