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.

It is a really good mass produced Rum. My favorite of Plantation. Well balanced, not too sweet. Very sippable. Only criticism is that there is nothing particularly unique about it.

An amazing rum, served neat/on the rocks personally. Well aged to perfection. At a great price and exquisite finish it's definitely one I'd recommend.
If inwant to convert someone over to rum I will bring this bottle with me. It is absolutely delicious.

It is delicate, mellow and hits all the right notes. A marriage of Bajan ingredients quality with French distillation know-how. Honey, vanilla and mollases!

This is by far the best rum I’ve had to date! Sweet (but not overly), smooth with hints of coconut, vanilla, and caramel. Highly recommended!

Even though this has obviously added sugar and flavours, it's expertly balanced, and it's base quality is not hidden by those additives

Smooth, somewhat sweet and reasonably priced. Not the best that plantation has to offer but a great introduction to rum as well as a good "everyday rum".

riecht anfangs etwas nach saurem Hering in Sahnesoße, schmeckt super
Smooth to drink neat. Rich and complex. Enjoyed with my son.

This is a really nice bottle of rum, but I just don't get the hype. It's very nice up front, but it has a much stronger burn on the back end than what I would expect for a really good quality aged rum. It's not as smooth, for a lack of a better word. I'm not much for sipping rums, but I've definitely had rums I would prefer to sip over this one. As an expensive mixer, it's fantastic, but I'm not sure I would be willing to pay this price for a mixing rum. If this was $20-30 cheaper, this would be one of my go to mixers.
Updated review: I don't know what happened, if this mellowed out since I first opened it, or if my pallet has just really changed since I first started drinking rum, but oh my god this is amazing. Hints of coconut, fruit, and caramel. Zero harshness. That was not the case when I opened it, it had a few biting notes, and that's why I originally gave this an 8 and compared it to Plantation Dark, but this is phenomenal.

Plantation 20th Anniversary je namíchán z nejstarších rumů společnosti, zraje nejprve v Karibiku v sudech po bourbonu, poté jsou převezeny do Francie kde zrají dalších 12-18 měsíců.
Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Hodně uhlazená vůně. Vanilka, snad i pomeranče (až mi místy připomíná Pyrat XO reserve), lehce kůže a hlavně kokos. (85 b)
Chuť: Nádherně jemná, mírně sladká chuť, kde se postupně vynořuje kokos a koření. (91 b)
Body: 88
Shrnutí: Jeden z těch rumů, které by jste neměli minout.
