Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Maison Baelen - le classique à avoir toujours dans le bar

To start the bottle is beautifully wrapped and the cork is wood. First sight shows a dark amber color. It smells like a caramel pipe tobacco. The taste cannot be defined. Go buy this bottle if you can.

Elegantne baleny rum. Zajimavy zpusob vyroby s finalizaci ve Francii. Ovocna vanilkova vube, jemna chut. Vyborna zalezitost, ten nemam naposledy ;)

Beautiful aroma, taste, great finish.
Great with a medium body cigar.

Top !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This rhum is excellent. Well balanced, tropical fruit, vanilla/caramel and "spices" tastes, but rather dry and not too sweet. Bit of oak. At a reasonnable price too.

Exellent rhum. Bien balancé. En bouche, des touches subtiles de fruits tropicaux (bananes?) et de vanille/caramel, notes boisées et épicées. Pas trop sucré. Longue finale. À un prix raisonnable. À recommander !

This is a really nice run from Plantation. Great for sipping on.

After reading everyone else's reviews I had to try this. I was not disappointed. This is a smooth, semi sweet rum with a complex dance of vanilla, coconut, oak, and a variety of fruits. And that's just the nose. Make sure you use a good glass, because this deserves it. I used the one that came with my Zaya, and it directs the "fumage" directly where it belongs. In my nose. The flavor is so complex I have trouble picking out the individual components.
Normally I don't spend this much on spirits, but I'm this case I am glad I did. I had to cash in an "early birthday gift" to get it. Once again, I have this a 9, not a 10, because I feel I haven't had the experience to know a 10 when I see/taste it. Pretty darn close

Whenever I see this rum for good price, I buy it.
Just great overall rumI would rate it similar as to how I would rate Zacapa.
It is sweet like Zacapa, so if you are not into that sweetnesd, then dont buy it

Can not go past this rum. Perfectly positioned at the top of the quality plantation series. Requirement in any rum collection
