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.

Maison Baelen - le classique à avoir toujours dans le bar

I really wanted to like this. I’ve never paid so much for a bottle of rum and it pains me that this was such a let down. This basically tastes like a bottle of whiskey with notes of brandy and a little bit of rum. Now I know that this was aged with both used whiskey and cognac barrels but to the extent of the taste of whiskey that this tastes is too much. It really makes me wonder why this rum gets such praise. I bought so I could taste rum with notes of whiskey and cognac not the other way around. It seems that in order for a rum to be “good” it has to taste like whiskey which is counterintuitive to me since it is after all rum. Don’t get me wrong I like whiskey but if I had a choice between a lower priced whiskey and this I’d go with the whiskey every time, simply because it would taste better. Overall if you want a complex whiskey tasting rum with hints of cognac and have money to burn then sure waste it on this, however if you’d like a rum that tastes like rum I’d look elsewhere.

Classic rum flavors with lots of coconut and just enough banana, cocoa and vanilla; not too sweet. Very approachable starting point for wooing your friends over from something other than Scotch and Cognac.

The Carmel and vanilla flavors come through in this smooth fruity aroma rum. A great value for something of this quality, perfect for the fire pit up neat...

This rum is better than Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. If you like Diplomatico, you will LOVE this one. It has more kinds of taste inside and long tongue smoothness.

Introduced to it at a friends on Canada day 2017 and was overwhelmed. It’s my go to sipping rum when I just need to chill. A pleasant but not overwhelming sweetness , richly flavoured , soft and silky smooth with a sublime taste. I have not tired of its taste yet as you can see from my photo of December 25th when Santa gave me another . I would rank it as the best drink of any kind I have ever had by a wide margin.
