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.

Great rum with perfect taste. Vanilla, licorice, caramel. Very drinkable and excellent value. I buy often

Great tasty rum in an attractive bottle with wooden/cork cap. I'd say the look is as good as the taste. Exceptional.
Rich, desserty, crème, vanilla upfront. I used to sell this one and it was my favorite.

Great looking bottle. Tastes good to me.
Worth a try especially when on offer.
Tried this first time from my father-in-law. A very good sipper, just a little bit better than Diplomatico reserva exclusiva. I like it best with one cube of ice.

When I first opened the bottle I thought it was ok but nothing special but I kept going back to it.
It defiantly got better after opening and now is one of my favorites.
And the bottle is just cool.

Amazing rum with a spicy taste. Clear barrel character and a little sweetness. A must have!
he is at a price category, where you already want some kind of perfestion, not in all registers, but in some, but he lecks of this. the rest is quite professional, smooth, fine and even not too standart, so i would give him a second go, but not now.

Oh, my... an outstanding product.

This is close to perfection. A perfect marriage of a touch of sweetness with wonderful complexity and unique character. The color? Deserving of a place in the best Caribbean island sunsets. The aroma? Enticing in all the right ways.
The taste? It opens up with everything you expect from a premium sipping rum, and then goes on to top that by giving a light and pleasant toasted coconut flavor for miles and miles on the finish. This rum has the most finish and best mouthfeel I’ve had the pleasure of sipping this far.
While I have yet to find anything that is this delicious and unique yet, I gave it a 9 with hope that some of the really premium stuff out there I have not yet tried may still be better yet. Hard to imagine though.
This is tops and should be in every rum lovers collection. Hell, even if the rum was average, that bottle screams out pure rum awesomeness.
