Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Wow! What a great rum! I bought it in Canada, it's 75$ the bottle, so it's expensive, but worth the price. You can feel a light after burn after each sip, more than other good rums like the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, because I think the Plantation has less sugar. I definetely recommend it.

Intense nose mainly vanilla and caramel. Lets guess a sweet balance, that is confirmed in the mouth. This makes the rhum too heavy and kills any character, class it could have. I am not fan of this kind of rhum, and really perfer dry ones, from french Antilles for example.

This rum is a true masterpiece of distillery. Very sweet but in a strongly pleasant and natural way. Hints of vanilla, some exotic fruit and caramel. If you like rum I'd definitely recommend this rum especially for its rather low price.

Based on others' experiences I approached this bottle with some anticipation. And my first reaction was that it was a little too brandy like for me-I'll admit I reward viscous mouth feel in my ratings. A couple of further tastings has increased my liking for it. I still would rather have Exclusiva or Millonario 15 for a treat, and 2 bottles of the Plantation 5 is more value for money, but this is still a solid 8 for me.

Very nice aroma of coconut and decent vanilla. Pleasant sweetness, smooth, long lasting after taste and no burn. In addition beautiful bottle. It is even better after couple of minutes in your glass.

Ik vind dit een heerlijke zachte rum met zovéél smaken dat ik telkens wel iets anders proef.
Zeker de prijs waard.

Une superbe bouteille vous propose un rhum ambré facile d'accès. Nul besoin d'être un connaisseur pour apprécier cette merveille. La saveur dégagée rappelle la banane brûlée, une touche de noix de coco et de chêne. Clairement plus sucrer que le Zacapa 23 ans et le Kirk and Sweeney 23 ans ce qui le rend à mon avis plus facile d'accès pour le néofite. 75$ au Québec et difficile à trouver dans les provinces américaines frontalières. Pas disponible au Duty free. Un 10/10 malgré le prix.

Very good rum with very smooth sweetness in the mouth (but not overly sweet), exotic fruits no burn, a mild oak of bourbon & cognac aftertase (nice combination). Really good for the price around 50 euro to my country & very close to 9!!

Really like this one. Like it better than the Zacapa Solera 23 and Diplomatico Gran Reserva. Better flavours.

Jag håller fullständigt med Chris L från Enland. Jag blev riktigt besviken på att denna Barbados XO har så stark alkoholsmak. Helsingör Vinhandel kunde valt en bättre Plantation att sätta sitt namn på.
