Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

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

Well balanced nose ans taste.
Sweet and non agressive.
Nice finale with a very light coconut taste

Tasty, to sip and mix with. The bottle is also very stunning. (not the flat one, the other one) That said the so called "dosage" or in plain words - added sugar, takes down my rating.

A very pleasant rum. Sweet ripe banana, vanilla and coconut comes to mind. The finish is lovely, smooth and sweet with a subtle "roasted" character. It's very well put together and has an elegance I find uniqe in many of the good Bajan rums. I love this style and this one is flirting with a 9 rating.

Meget sødme, vanille og kokos duft og smag. Bliver lidt for meget i længden, men tag den frem over tid, og den er stadig lækker.

Plantation 20th Anniversary rum is to me a real winner rum! With its not to sweet flavors, you can find out some coconut taste very easily. It's a nice rum to show people who don't specially like rum, but also for real experts! Go and get it!

8,2:On the nose, it's the toaste:d (or even fried) coconut that immediately comes to the fore, and is increasingly present! Vanilla and orange add to this rum's gourmet character.
8,5:On the palate, it's also greedy and soft (without being too sweet). It's the vanilla that takes center stage here, relegating the coconut to second place. The texture of this rum is also gourmand.
8:The finish is dominated by coconut, and not just a little. There's also the sensation of something fatty and unctuous.

You can't offend anybody with this one. As a gift a safe bet but above all a classic in the home bar. Sipping approved.
