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.

I have tried many, many rums in the last 6 years – and it will take me a long time to eventually rate and review them all. From Appleton to Zaya, aged and unaged, 3-year to 21-year, single barrel to blended, and (not quite) everything in between - but I have certainly enjoyed a lot of rums. At this point in time, my favorite of favorites is this Plantation offering. Again, I have to judge this based on rums that are generally, readily available – and reasonably affordable. Unfortunately, the $75 rums I have purchased have not been as tasty (to me) as some of the $40-ish premiums and $20-ish everyday rums I leave on my bar countertop.

Had to deduct a point knowing Plantation is one that adds sugars and flavors. That’s ok in my book, but in a head to head - it has to take a back seat.

Plantation has a lot of depth to their product offerings but this is one of the few that is consistently everywhere. Good reason - it's amazing. Treat yourself!

It's a perfect rum in many ways. First of all you see this typical Caribbean (Pirate) bottle and then you nothing this great smell.. when you take your first sip it's really soft and a lot of taste I can tell you. Find it out yourself!

Smooth and unique, I like this one a lot. It had been unavailable for some time, and boy was I glad to get my hands back on it.

This is an easy drinkables rum, the nose is sweet vanilla, also tones of the cask.

Taste is also sweet, it sips very easy and with minimal afterburn. Only downside being that there are no surprises, I would have liked some more complexity.

The bottle is nice, but its not my cup of tea. I rather have a simple bottle, instead of wastes resources.

Quite good, especially for $50 or so a bottle. But I feel like I’ve had better for cheaper. Sooooo… it’s a bit tough to pin down, for now
