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.

A really good drink. I'ven't had a wiskey since. Very easy to drink with a long and deep aftertaste.

Soft on the nose with a great pallet of coconut, toffee, and a buttery finish.

We all remember our first love. I certainly do. It was this handsomely presented decanter-style bottle of XO rum from Barbados. And it truly was love at first sip. Several years later, it is still my regular go-to-guy when I feel like a dive in the pool of rum. Old love never rusts, they say. I'll drink to that!
Let's have a taste: The nose is rather strong and feisty, but the taste is smooth and sweet with almost zero burn. The added sugar amounts to 24 g/L, but does in no way overshadow the complex aromas of toasted coconut and banana with subtle hints of cocoa, candied orange and cigar box.
The Plantation XO 20th Anniversary offers lots and lots of liquid value for the dollar, it's well-balanced and will satisfy the rum novice as well as a more experienced rum consumer.
Barbados rum at it's finest. 94/100

I’m new to fine rims, but I found this one to be very good. For me, vanilla and the wood of the barrels comes across the strongest. I found it smooth and warm.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

This one is a bit sweet for me, surprisingly sweet actually for a barbados rum, but it's a distinctive and seductive drink. Coconut water and caramel on the lead, transitioning into vanilla and a delightful warmth from the alcohol and spices working together, with a lasting, pleasant finish.
Incredibly smooth, eminently drinkable. Beautiful to behold, and doesn't break the bank. There's no reason not to let a bottle of this into your life at least once.
