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.

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
On a scale of 1 to 10, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary I would give it 8.5 for its rich flavors, smooth texture, and unique character imparted by the Cognac cask finish.

I'm relatively new to sipping rums, this one is an instant favorite. Cool bottle, caramel color, mellow nose, nice blend of spice and sweet. All at an affordable price.

Ein grundsolider Rum mit leicht bitterem Abgang. Ein Jedermannrum, ich bin nicht jedermann.

A very smooth rum. Subtle notes of dark chocolate and exotic nuts. Alcohol is very well covered.

Coconut, vanilla, caramel in one bottle! You have to taste it!
Smooth. Nice sipper. Also very fine with Cole for the faint of heart.
Very tasty, full body, spicy but very balanced. The one you are returning back to after experimenting with others. Great value. Always must have at least one bottle at home :)

This should be a gatekeeper for quality. This is good, complex rum. Added sugar? Sure. But not too much and not to cover its weaknesses.
Smell: vanilla, coconuts, chocolate, sugarcane
Taste: Sweet, complex, vanilla notes
Recomendable to anyone who wants to know what quality for fair price is. Very good quality/price ratio and nice gatekeeper for high class rums.
