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.

Smooth medium body leaves a little burn feeling in the throats but very good sipping rum
It is not bad rum for sure but It is way too expensive for me. I didn't like the taste of banana at the end. If you want to try soft rum with Caribbean taste, you should try this one.

Great aroma, soft on the palate, incredible nose. I love this rum. If you like a light fruity rum, this is a good one.

The best rum I've ever tasted. Lightly spiced and a touch of vanilla and caramel.

Initially it reminds me of a palm beach. The first notes is vanilla, coconuts and a bit of cask. The taste is medium sweet and strong, but sling it for a minute and it is really well balanced.
Des arômes de coco, vanille, barbe à papa.
Très rond, sucré.
Laisse des arômes de sucre raffiné en fin de bouche.
Pas à mi. Goût

Unique rum with hint of pineapple aftertaste, wish it was just a bit smoother but for the cost ($45ish) I can't complain. Definitely value to dollar, only rum that beats price to value is dos maderas.

Great everyday rum. I love to sip it after a stressful day at work because of it tropical notes. It makes me feel like I am taking a vacation in the Caribbean.

I was sceptical at first...

...because of the good reviews this rum gets despite it being comparatively low priced.
I thought maybe it's the upmarket design of the bottle which deceives people into thinking this is premium stuff.
Well I was wrong. This is hands down the best value for a spirit of this quality I've come across.
Do yourself a favour and get a bottle.
