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.

Delicious rum, would definitely drink again. Will buy myself a bottle when I have the chance. Definitely worth trying!

Very beautiful bottle and especially cork. The rum has almost no odor. The amount of sweetnes and vanilla in the flavor is way too much! Feels that they wanted to make a sippable rum for all by adding as much sugar as possible.

...a rozhodne nesklamal. Vôňa mi evokovala náplň, ktorá sa dáva do zákuskov, presnejšie do špicov. Chuť som očakával viac sladšiu, dosť sa mi podobala na Diplomatico RE, akurát mi prišla trošku "ovocnejšia". Ocenil by som nižšiu cenovku.

Smooth, baking spices and oak are prominent. Sweet caramel and vanilla. Very smooth

From my point of view a perfect rum. Nice golden brown color in decent and still elegant bottle. Main aroma and taste is caramel and vanilla, but not in a disturbing way. Cask is noticable too. Everything is well balanced. For me best value for money ratio even for non-rum enthusiasists.

Legjobb plantation, legalább is a legfogyaszthatóbb, menő üvegbe palackozva.bármikorrum
Very smooth, not too sweet, excellent nose, practically no alcohol burn. You can feel that last cognac cask it rested briefly. Love it! Wish to find similar taste profile.

Taste toasted marshmallows. Smooth upfront finishes with a little bite. This is one I will buy again.

Nagyon jó, különleges íz. Kellemesen lágy, érződik a sherry hordós érlelés.

A first sniff gives away some vanilla and cask aromas.
Very ballanced and pleasent nose.
Actually this is one of the least sweet in my cabinet, but it does have some sweetness.
The taste buds is meet with the initial sweetness followed with some vanilla and a bit of cask notes.
The warmth hits relatively hard but not unpleasant.
This is a well ballanced rum that you should try yourself.
BTW. I had to use a wine glass because im on Tenerife and it was the closest to a proper glas I could get :-)
