Plantation XO 20th Anniversary rum

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

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.

Sweet suggar and vanila taste. Little bit burning in mouth, smooth end.
One of the very good ones, but I still prefer Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva 12yo.

This is truly an amazing rum. Very smooth, and although there is a very noticeable vanilla and coconut flavor, it is not too sweet. Great for sipping neat. At $48 it is towards the top of my price range, but definitely worth the money. I try to save this and drink cheaper rums more regularly, but this is a rum I will always on stock. Absolutely one of my favorites and is probably worthy of a 10, but I don't give away perfect scores too easily.

Great sipper. Velvety mouthfeel. Slightly sweet with a nice nuttiness. My favorite rum so far.

I'm not fond of the nose. The coconut flavour is too strong for me.
The taste does it a lot more credit. Smooth, sweet, rounded. But again a bit too much coconut. Loong aftertaste.
I am a bit divided on this rum. I find if I ignore the coconut, this is a very good rum. I would probably buy it again, because it varies a bit from my normal taste.

This definitely wins the award for best designed packaging, and also for texture. It has a unique viscosity and almost seems to evaporate seconds within being moved around your palate. Only small points can be awarded for such features however... But when it comes to taste it does not disappoint, and delivers a distinction for those looking for variety in their collection. A high achiever all around.

I was attracted by the bottle! the content is ok but I did expect more from it, you could easy believe that the content is stored 20 years but it is not.

this is an amazing rum. So glad I was able to find a bottle. When I first poured it into my glass it pours like a honey liqueur. Smells of vanilla, spice, and cask waft to the nose. With a tilt of the glass legs galore reach back to the rest. After the first sip I am hooked. I will always have a bottle or two of this in my bar. It is all here, a complex balance I have not tasted in a rum before now. It is even better than my beloved Vizcaya.

Woaw, I had good and bad bottles from plantation (the Jamaican single cask 1998 is undrinkable) but this one is the next best thing I had from them (Barbados single cask 2000 beats it).

A very nice looking bottle, and a sweet and rich taste, not too mouth burning that makes it an easy drink. It has a strong taste and smell of coconut with notes of chocolate, I call it the bounty rhum.

Bottle : This bottle is also beautiful. It has a exclusive look, easy to access with it´s big cap and nice weight to it.
Nose : The scent if full of vanilla and sugar.
Taste : Big full and rich taste of what i believe is a nice rum, rich with raisins and vanilla.
Finish : Strong finish which slowly evolves in separate tones.

Whenever I see this rum for good price, I buy it.
Just great overall rumI would rate it similar as to how I would rate Zacapa.
It is sweet like Zacapa, so if you are not into that sweetnesd, then dont buy it
