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.

Another on a whim buy but a very smooth sipper no real throat burn and with plenty of after taste to savour.

I enjoyed drinking this rum very much, it’s smooth and not to sweet.

Die Nase war sehr spannend und einladend. Ich konnte mich einige Zeit daran aufhalten, was Spaß gemacht hat. Am Gaumen konnte er das, was die Nase versprach aber leider nicht halten. Im Endeffekt viel zu süß nach Zucker. Ein kleines Upgrade zum Botucal/Diplomatico, aber mehr ist es für mich nicht.
A really good drink. I'ven't had a wiskey since. Very easy to drink with a long and deep aftertaste.

Soft on the nose with a great pallet of coconut, toffee, and a buttery finish.

We all remember our first love. I certainly do. It was this handsomely presented decanter-style bottle of XO rum from Barbados. And it truly was love at first sip. Several years later, it is still my regular go-to-guy when I feel like a dive in the pool of rum. Old love never rusts, they say. I'll drink to that!
Let's have a taste: The nose is rather strong and feisty, but the taste is smooth and sweet with almost zero burn. The added sugar amounts to 24 g/L, but does in no way overshadow the complex aromas of toasted coconut and banana with subtle hints of cocoa, candied orange and cigar box.
The Plantation XO 20th Anniversary offers lots and lots of liquid value for the dollar, it's well-balanced and will satisfy the rum novice as well as a more experienced rum consumer.
Barbados rum at it's finest. 94/100

This rum was my first. Without any experience, I can say that first smell of it create feelings like no drink before. I was hooked to rums. Now I am on the begining of enjoyable adventure of discovering new superb tastes of superior rums.
Totally looking forward.
This rum will stay my first love which pull me in this wonderful world.

The bottle is a precious one, I really like it. But the content inside is even better. A very easy-to-drink rum with just the right amount of sweetness (and I do like sweet rums), vanilla (and more) taste and a long, great finish. Always worth a sip!
