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.

Best rum I've ever tasted so far. Smooth and delicious with a slight sweetness. Truly a great rum!
Really good bottle of rum from the Barbados, i enjoyed very much, with fine flavors, still easy to drink and really nice after flavors.

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...

Very smooth, vanilla, leather and Carmel. One of my top runs.
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.
Really great after dinner rum. Smooth and tasty. Almond and anis. Really enjoy it everytime

Sa robe est ambrée.
Au nez, c’est la noix de coco grillée (voire frite) qui se fait immédiatement remarquer et qui est de plus en plus présente ! La vanille et l’orange viennent renforcer le côté gourmand de ce rhum.
En bouche c’est aussi gourmand et doux (sans être trop sucré). C’est la vanille qui passe ici un au premier plan et relègue la coco au second. La texture de ce rhum est elle aussi gourmande.
La finale est placée sous le signe de la noix de coco et pas qu’un peu. Il y a aussi la sensation de quelque chose de gras et d’onctueux.

aromatic, smooth, perfect. Same level of premium rums like Cartavio XO or Millonario XO, but notably cheaper. Good tip.
