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.

Bananas, sweet mango and coconut. There is also a definite vanilla note. This is all rounded off by a slight oakiness. To taste there is a tingle from the heat of the rum and a hint of oak but these instantly give way as the rich honeyed sweetness coats your tongue.
A smooth, very nice and well balanced rum, rich in flavours. One of the best rums i have tasted.
Top rhum Good flavours and easy to drink. Nice colour

Just wonderful after a nice dinner with good friends. The pallet is subtle with a 'not to dominant' vanilla flavour. Rum is made to share and this one is the perfect rum for those special occasions. Nice bottle, great aroma and taste. Just sipping heaven.

One of the best drinks I have ever drunk. Also It is the softest taste of rum I have experienced.

Had this one at a Rhum tasting last week and was very pleased to see it on the list. This is the kind of rhum I can really enjoy drinking. It has the right color, great scent and a slightly sweet taste with hints of coco & vanilla. I can always enjoy an aged rhum and this one will stay high on my list

Je to jeden z těch srdcových rumů, který nikdy neomrzí. Famózní vyváženost chutí a jemnosti. Všem doporučuji koupit a mít ho pro krásné chvíle s přáteli po ruce.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

out of 10
Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is a blend of the oldest Bajan Rum which owns the brand, specially selected rum from the Caribbean who've been matured in ex-bourbon barrels. The blended rum is aged again after blending, this time in small French oak barrels for a period of 12 to 18 months. This double maturation gives space to the rum to make better and fuller flavors and character development which improves the result.
The precious contents of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary comes in a beautiful decanter sealed by a synthetic cork that bottle sealing perfect. The carafe shows the seductive rich color of copper and curiosity to taste.
Aromas of caramel and toasted coconut immersed open in a spicy oak aroma, followed by orange marmalade and hints of marzipan with tobacco. Tones of brown sugar, vanilla and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg provide balance and harmony to the nose.
