Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still
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.

This rum appears in a very exclusive looking bottle, and the smell is smooth and full of impressions from the Caribbean. I can taste a variation of coconut, vanilla, a little exotic fruits, and the rum have a lasting taste, and no burn. A great everyday zipper!

Poured neat, it's very light on the nose with just a hint of buttery toffee and caramel. The first sip has a heavy mouthfeel with a warm flavor that travels from the middle of the tongue to the back of the throat. It leaves behind just a little heat, and flavors of rum and caramel apple. I like it best with just one ice cube with brings out a bit more of that caramel apple flavor that I could drink all night. This is a great sipper!

Actually it is one of the very good balance between sweetness and flavor. Also a decent price for this interesting rum..

You can feel the power already from the odour, but the taste will make you sure, strong body with sweet aftertaste

This rum is just dreamy. Complex and evident at the same time. Great fruity fragrance and deep colourful flavours through and through. So much going for it and clearly blended by able hands with a great experience in mind for the rum drinker. It is readily available, reasonably priced in comparison to others in its class, in fact it punches up four or five price classes without batting an eye.
The best rum i ever tasted, well balanced with a great taste of vanilla.
Smooth sipping rum. Great value. Don’t spoil it with cola.

The sugar in it helps smooth it out and there's is a nice sweetness to it but it still tastes relatively young compared to other highly rated sweet rums like Diplomatico R.E. or El Dorado 15 yr. I suppose I expected it to be sweeter in the way of a Demerara rum but with a Bajan flair. Decent rum but not worth the price tag IMHO. Similar taste to Kaniche XO which is made by the same place and significantly cheaper if u can find it. Update: One of the most overrated/overpriced rums there is, it’s ok but definitely not great. Your money is better spent elsewhere.
