Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum

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.

Rum sweet and easy to drink, very flavored caramel with obvious notes of coconut. Very good value for money. This rum will appeal to both novices and connoisseurs palai sharpened.

Really really great! But I am afraid on the second place for my taste. I gave 8 points cause it is second in place and I keep the “10” empty because well,there too many rums for me to taste in the future

I'm new to rum and especially good rums, but this is amazing. The first time I tried it was in a nice tasting glass and the coconut and banana were very prominent. The aftertaste had so much complexity and lastest ages. I actually could not believe what I smelled and tasted and without any burn. The second time I drank the whole bottle with a friend and it was amazing yet another experience. The cognac notes really shined through especially without any water or ice and not letting the rum open up. The coconut was less prominent but came back with opening the rum up and it shined with a few drops of water added. The oakiness was on the backseat and the vanilla is more on the front. It has just everything you want in a rum. Surprisingly this time it had a nice little burn. Let's all hope Plantation keeps making these. Please do yourself a favour and get a bottle.

I'd never really been a rum drinker before, my only real experience being lambs navy rum or Bacardi. But after trying a sample of this I was blown away by how much different this stuff could be. I had to have a bottle & this is worth every penny. Talk about complex, you definitely get the vanilla and banana coming through strongly on the palate, with just a hint of the bourbon without overpowering any other flavours. I'm Definitely converted and every time I taste this It amazes me. Truly sublime.

Have wanted to try this for a while and absolutely loved it! Nice level of sweetness with a beautiful finish. Enjoyed it neat and am going to add a bottle to my collection.

This is rum like it should be, smell, tongue, after taste, all perfect in balance.

Possibly the most dangerous rum i have ever had, incredible easy to drink, complex deliciousness.

Coconut toffee chocolate and a strong pleasant warmth after swallow.

People that don,t like rum, will definately be positive surprised when they try this.

Worth the money.

This rum is defiantly on the sweet side and feels in the calibar of new age “rum for everyone”
It is a great sipping rum with a great maple honey aftertaste.
With or without ice this is a great sipper

Another on a whim buy but a very smooth sipper no real throat burn and with plenty of after taste to savour.

I enjoyed drinking this rum very much, it’s smooth and not to sweet.

Die Nase war sehr spannend und einladend. Ich konnte mich einige Zeit daran aufhalten, was Spaß gemacht hat. Am Gaumen konnte er das, was die Nase versprach aber leider nicht halten. Im Endeffekt viel zu süß nach Zucker. Ein kleines Upgrade zum Botucal/Diplomatico, aber mehr ist es für mich nicht.
