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.

Excellent rum from Barbados. Clasic, off-swet rum, with medium intense citrus nose, harmonic and enjoyable warm rum. Very long, integrated alkohol.
Vanilla & caramel notes in what is a super smooth rum...Very impressed with this one for a nice smooth drink to finish the night with..

Denna blir bara bättre och bättre för varje gång! Så god, mycket arrak, tropisk frukt och vanilj, precis som jag vill ha.

Excellent and very fine rum that has a full body and a pleasant touch. If you want to enjoy good rum without getting you drunk with alcohol, so try this one myself, I was pleasantly surprised. Good price / performance ratio. Price 38 eur
One of the best rum ever tasted... so far. Let’s start with the bottle: premium outlook with this large cork. The color of the rum is equal to the barbados rum. The flavour is delicate, smooth. I didn’t expected a long taste but i was surprized by this one. Highly recommended !
Tried it pure very nice rum easy to drink!

Bouche : onctueux, fruité, sucré (legerement trop pour moi)
Final : très agreable, pas trop long pas trop court, onctueux et fruite

Für den Preis ein erstklassiger Rum! Sollte in keiner Sammlung fehlen, zudem ist er im Wohnzimmer ein echter Blickfang!

Very good rum for really very good price.
Taste is sweet but not much - sweetness is perfect balanced (not so sweet as Diplomatico 12Y), you feel the aging of casks, no bad alcohol aftertaste.
Aroma is not very intensive / it is more light aroma, but nice. This rum is not for nose eaters, not saying this rum has no smell, but is not that intensive as some other old rums I had tasted.
One more comment / packaging is SUPER. Good tip for gift.
CHEEERS...

Those who are against adding sugar to rum post-distillation will be the ones that don't fancy Plantation XO. If you appreciate when a distillery does so with good taste and finesse, then you will more than likely find this to be an exceptional tasting. Have it neat, with a little water or ice, or in an old-fashioned. Lots of tropical fruit notes and a rich, caramelized depth. Baja style taken under French influence for blending and bottling (they traditionally add sugar when they bottle cognac).
