Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

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.

...because of the good reviews this rum gets despite it being comparatively low priced.
I thought maybe it's the upmarket design of the bottle which deceives people into thinking this is premium stuff.

Well I was wrong. This is hands down the best value for a spirit of this quality I've come across.
Do yourself a favour and get a bottle.

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.

This rum is a notch above Plantation 20th Anniversary Rum and Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva. One things that seemed "off" is an overpowering pineapple aroma. Oh well, it is a desert drink.

This rum is not 20 years old (only an anniversary), but that doesn´t mean that it is bad.

It's got hints of Caramel, vanilla and a touch of bananas
It tastes a little sweet with vanilla caramel and some citrus flavor .

This rum is O.K., but it doesn't quite hold up as well against other rums in the same category.
The flavor hits the mouth, and leaves quite a bit quicker than other rums I've tried, so it gets a 7 & that's being generous for it's price range. ($80.00)
