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.

The aroma is soft with clear elements of banana and vanilla! The storage time has given some moves, but not so dominant!
The taste of Plantation XO is a bit less cute than many other plantation rooms, and a little more complex! This makes it easier to pick the flavors of banana and caramel - and of course vanilla! Very nice and casual taste!

Very good, very consistent bottle to bottle, very slightly rough given it's 20 years old, not sweet but mostly smooth enough and has good aftertaste. Nice bottle and presentation.
I take this one as my baseline for an 8 score - leaves room at the top for the superb and the mind-blowingly good, and room for a lot below !

I paid less for probably the same rating. But overall this rum is fantastic.

I love rums from Barbados and this is fantastic mix of them. Easy to drink, but many layers are waiting for discover. And the price... unbelievable. Must try.

If you are looking for a golden liquid which will taste great in all situations you have found the right rum.
For me personally it is one of the best rums I know and can’t find something negative at it. The bottle is very nice to look at and the price is decent. All in all great rum

I was really positively surprised...love the smell and taste...could be one of my top three rums so far...
I do not want to miss it anymore.
Buy it...you will not regret it.
P.S.: Beautiful bottle as well.

One of the best I’ve tasted with butterscotch and vanilla on the nose and toffee and tropical fruit when tasting. Let it open up for a bit before drinking and you should get cocoa on the nose and spice cake on he mouth.
Very smooth, long lasting rather complex aftertaste which I normally encountered in rather upper price range rums! My favorite from Plantation so far, definitely a great deal!

Sweet and...just good
8

If it wasn't so sweet I would have rate it a 9. Pleasant rum, no burn, fruity, very good in summer, I understand why most people like this. A bit pricey for me that I don't enjoy sweet rum.
