Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

One of the best sippers, and a good value at that.

I was in love with the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva until I tried this. It has the same underlying sweetness from the congeners that the Diplomatico does, but without the added sugar to finish it (yes, you really can tell the difference). This tastes the way you imagine a fine rum should taste - toffee, wood, a hint of leather, and sweetness without sugariness. If this were a whiskey of similar quality, it would easily cost $120 a bottle.

Vynikající rum v krásné láhvi. Má světlou barvu, je jemný, pěkně voní a nechává příjemný pocit na patře. Je radost ho popíjet. Doporučuju. Určitě si koupím další láhev.

Intense aromas of vanilla and coconut, but a bit too sweet

A very nice and smooth room of my likings..
A well enjoyed birthday present!

Taste like caramell but with alkohol. Yammy
Hace tried many brands but this is my favorite.

bouteille dont je possède toujours un exemplaire en réserve, un de mes favoris

Excellent rhum et même pas trop dispendieux. Pas trop sucré mais doux quand même.

Edit after some years: changed from 10 to 7. Still good but way too sweet and the alcohol burn is not that well-rounded.

This rum represents everything I love in sippers. Tones of dark chocolate and vanilla with very pleasant burn. I was affraid that it will be too sweet like many others in this age, but fortunately that wasnt the case.

I only started trying different rums since the beginning of this year and I decided to purchase this one after reading many of the reviews here and because the price was reasonable, considering the ratings.
This was (basically) the 4th bottle of rum that I tried and right now I want to buy the entire world's supply of this. I should be giving it a 9 instead of a 10, because there are so many more rums for me to discover, but I have a feeling it will be hard to top this one (since this is still affordable at €54 here). Read some of the 9+ reviews and you know what to expect when you buy this...
