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, my current favourite out a fair few we have tried.
Very smooth, can be neat or on the rocks.
For me a vanilla hint, it is sweet as well, but the rum does contain a bit more sugar than normal.
Well worth the buy.

This rum is very cool! I got this for my birthday, and as this, it was a really huge thing. The taste comes very gentle and every sip gets more intense. I really love the balance, strongly recommended!

I'm often puzzled by complex descriptions of nose and initial palate etc. I like to keep it simple. It's the finish on your palate that dominates your obverse experience. The finish on this one is demerara sugar. It doesn't taste like rum. Even with coke, it still dominates. Super over rated. Wasted my money and would never buy again

The occasion is moree important than the rum itself. This is what I would describe the Plantation XO with. Relatively sweet with hints of vanilla and coconut and very easy to drink. Nothing spectacular but I enjoyed a good occasion and the rum nicely complimented that!

This rum will always have a home in my cabinet. Caramel and vanilla notes with the perfect amount of sweetness. If you haven’t tried this, get a bottle. You won’t be disappointed.

I could not really tell much difference between this and their Original Dark Dbl Aged rum at half the price.
A little longer on the pallet perhaps.
Nothing that makes me want to purchase again.
Re discovered rum tasting thanks to the plantation xo !

Absolutely amazing tastes and nose. I found this to be great to drink neat. I liked to leave it rest on my mouth and all these flavours just bounced out. And the aftertaste is just the same.
Beautiful taste, beautiful bottle. Beautiful experience

I had many trips to Cuba and always enjoyed Havana Club 7 yo. Up until now I did not try anything else except Cuban rum. Once I've brought from there Santiago de Cuba 11yo and have found it so smooth and delicius compared to HC. Since then I've discovered world is full of different rums ). Had tried 12 of them so far. And I will rate them comparing to HC as the base rated 6.
