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.

This rum is truly awesome and it might be hard to find a guest who doesn't appreciate this liquified happiness. If it was just a hint less sweet, it would score a ten.

A nice burn and great flavor but definitely a very good sipping beverage.
Überraschend mild und mit einem guten Aroma für den Preis.

En la boca y nariz Caribe puro, notas de banana, coco, piña y vainilla. Aterciopelado y muy suave. Un gran ron de Plantation y una hermosa botella. Uno de mis favoritos.
Well balanced, slight sweet, but lacks some depth.

Excellent.
Beaucoup de goût, le feu de l'alcool est très peu présent, on en redemande. De quoi finir alcoolique en ayant la bénédiction des médecins.

The box it came in was made of a bit flimsy cardboard but had a nice graphical design. After opening the box, the true beauty of this rum showed itself. The bottle is beautiful with a cork on top that is better looking than any I have ever seen.
When I tried this rum I was blown away by the taste. I'm not even going to give any tasting notes, you should just try this one! It is one of my most expensive rums thus far but this one is definitely worth the price. More so than any other rum I've bought.
Just take the chance and buy it!

This rum was included in a tasting set gift I was given and I immediately ran out to buy a bottle.
It is a very nice rum and at the right price point, you can certainly pay a lot more for inferior rums.
It is on the sweeter side (which I like personally), but not overly so and you can taste the layers of complexity. Very smooth and it has a nice rich natural exotic taste, which is lovely
(no a trace of that chemical or manufactured taste you sometimes get with some sweet rums, which can spoil things.)
The bottle presentation is excellent too.
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.

Vanilla, chocolate and coconut flavours well assembled with nuts and oak because of the old rums. Not sweet because of the young alcoholed rums. It provides an awesome blend which appears to be my best rum so far.
