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.

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 Iβve had better for cheaper. Soooooβ¦ itβs a bit tough to pin down, for now

Tres parfumer comme gout, gout coconut, ananas flambΓ©, petit gout d'orange.Trop sucrΓ©
I enjoyed this each time I pour it in a glass. Smooth
One of the most attractive packaging around one of the worst runs Iβve ever had. Not good for drinking or mixing. Ended up throwing out the bottle nearly full.

This rum has it all! Itβs a little sweet, a little woody, a little fruity. Plantation has never made a bad rum in my opinion and this is no exception

It's smooth and sweet and it's so tasty. Packed with load of vanilla. Very good price/performance ratio.
Very nice smooth rum. Hints of vanilla. Very tasteful and with a lot of body.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

To me this is a true sipping rum. Soft, sweet aroma of graham crackers and cinammon. Hints of vanilla and caramel. Complex yet very soft aroma. It's full medium sweet upfront and warming. Graham cracker carries through in the flavor as do the hints of vanilla. Oak is apparent but smooth. Warming but not at all hot. Nice finish, drying and warm. A really great sipping rum! Purists may not like this one but judge it for what it is. It's good! I'll be keeping a spare bottle of this at all times!
Sept. 2019 - Revisited this rum recently and still find it highly enjoyable. Although I find myself gravitating towards less sweet rums recently I still found this an excellent drink, well balanced and complex. Smooth and easy sipping. I would possibly rate this 1 point lower if trying for the first time but I leave my rating unchanged as I still think it's very worthy. Again this is not a rum for dry rum drinkers or purists but as I said before, it is what it is and I think it's well deserving of it's high rating.
