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.

A Rough Ride

I really wanted to like this. I’ve never paid so much for a bottle of rum and it pains me that this was such a let down. This basically tastes like a bottle of whiskey with notes of brandy and a little bit of rum. Now I know that this was aged with both used whiskey and cognac barrels but to the extent of the taste of whiskey that this tastes is too much. It really makes me wonder why this rum gets such praise. I bought so I could taste rum with notes of whiskey and cognac not the other way around. It seems that in order for a rum to be “good” it has to taste like whiskey which is counterintuitive to me since it is after all rum. Don’t get me wrong I like whiskey but if I had a choice between a lower priced whiskey and this I’d go with the whiskey every time, simply because it would taste better. Overall if you want a complex whiskey tasting rum with hints of cognac and have money to burn then sure waste it on this, however if you’d like a rum that tastes like rum I’d look elsewhere.
