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.

Received the Plantation 20 XO for Christmas (thanks wife o' mine!). A smooth rum with a nice amount of sweetness. I enjoyed it but not as much as others. I wish RR allowed half bottles as I rated this one a 6.5.

extremely nice bottle; a blend of rum procuced by using molasses; after production and a frist aging period in the Caribbean the rum gets a 2nd aging period in France; taste is extremly smooth and sweet, bouquet is dominated by flavours of cane and coconut. Excellent and very long finish and aftertaste. Have found some views that discuss the degree of sugar in this rum.

As the title says, figured a cool bottle for the bar....1st sniff and the vanilla was amazing! Not overly sweet but a nice deep, rich flavor!

I’ve not tried a rum yet that deserves a 10 rating. I’ve rated some 9’s before and believe there is always something better. This however is as close as it gets to a 10 in my book. Great from start to finish. Everyone should try this at least once.

A very well balanced rum. Taste of coconut and other traditional rum flavors. A bit on the sweet side but well balanced. I wish I could afford to drink this all the time.

My top 3 favorite with Zacapa XO and Eldorado 15 years old, I love everything of it! Balanced flavors with vanilla, caramel, smoothness, impeccable!!!

Alright I’ll admit it!! As of late I’ve had a total hard on for Barbados Rums, and for good reason, they are good at their craft! I can’t wait to go there!
Plantation XO just glides down your throat, slightly warming your belly while providing a light and clean aftertaste of honey and coconut. The one thing though, this rum doesn’t seem to have much character to it. It’s good if not great, but not incredible. To me, it needs more complexity to it in order to push it to the next level. Probably and 8.5 on the Joe scale.

Now I drink my third bottle an I enjoy it better than the first one.
It has really nice smooth and sweet aroma with a coconut and chocolate hint, very nice to sniff.
The taste is more complex than other in its price level, and it's not so sweet as it smells. The sweetness appears little bit later and then fades and the coconut and oak notes gets stronger in aftertaste, but still very pleasant to drink. The alcohol taste is very short and stays in a gentle way. Very nice sipping rum.
Everyone who likes rum or starts with drinking it should try this at least once, it's worth it.
