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.

When you open it, give a little time for this Rum. By start it can little bit kick you in nose. Good aroma, woody and rich.
Taste is more sweet. For me I found honey.
I compared this one with
Plantation Guatemala & Belize gran Añejo - 8.0
And for this one I give between 7.5-7.8

Very good rum, smooth, with a very distict and pleasant taste (slighty sweet, coconut). Unbelievable value for money. Hence a 10/10
Goede prijs kwaliteit, kost bijna niks! Net een kleine nasmaak afwijking die het geen 10 maakt.

The nose is overwhelming with caramel and vanilla, the taste is sweet but very well balanced by the alcohol. Smooth as my 4 months baby girl's but (lol). I'm in love with this rum, i would give it a 10, but i think i have to try some others first. Cheers!

Pretty new to the aged rums but this one is my favorite so far. My taste is preferring the 'sugar bombs' at this point. I suppose the sweetness is what makes it easier to sip for a newbie. Smoother than the El Dorado 12 & 15 to me. Great stuff!
Beautiful bottle, wrapped in twine. Gorgeous amber color, with a subtle and natural vanilla, nutmeg, pepper aroma. I say a natural aroma, because it doesn't impress as overpowering, just subtle and soft. The taste in the mouth, the swallow, and the aftertaste are simply perfection. Divinely balanced flavors in the highest quality aged rum. Want to mix ? NO, this is for sipping only, it's just too good. I doubt I'll ever buy another brand of top shelf rum, customer for life.

Lovely bottle and presentation. It's a wonderful expression from plantation.
Nose is tropical, desicated coconut, sweet and divine. This rum is so smooth very nice!
Could easily finish this bottle in one sitting.

Sweet vanilla and little caramel nose. Very gentle.
Sweeter start into rich vanilla sugar cane caramel cask rich body. Not very sweet but great richness in taste as sweetness is not taking over the whole body. Very gentle end with nice vanilla scents. Looong end...
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

This should be a gatekeeper for quality. This is good, complex rum. Added sugar? Sure. But not too much and not to cover its weaknesses.
Smell: vanilla, coconuts, chocolate, sugarcane
Taste: Sweet, complex, vanilla notes
Recomendable to anyone who wants to know what quality for fair price is. Very good quality/price ratio and nice gatekeeper for high class rums.
