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.

Just wonderful after a nice dinner with good friends. The pallet is subtle with a 'not to dominant' vanilla flavour. Rum is made to share and this one is the perfect rum for those special occasions. Nice bottle, great aroma and taste. Just sipping heaven.

One of the best drinks I have ever drunk. Also It is the softest taste of rum I have experienced.

Had this one at a Rhum tasting last week and was very pleased to see it on the list. This is the kind of rhum I can really enjoy drinking. It has the right color, great scent and a slightly sweet taste with hints of coco & vanilla. I can always enjoy an aged rhum and this one will stay high on my list

Je to jeden z těch srdcových rumů, který nikdy neomrzí. Famózní vyváženost chutí a jemnosti. Všem doporučuji koupit a mít ho pro krásné chvíle s přáteli po ruce.

The aroma is soft with clear elements of banana and vanilla! The storage time has given some moves, but not so dominant!
The taste of Plantation XO is a bit less cute than many other plantation rooms, and a little more complex! This makes it easier to pick the flavors of banana and caramel - and of course vanilla! Very nice and casual taste!

Very good, very consistent bottle to bottle, very slightly rough given it's 20 years old, not sweet but mostly smooth enough and has good aftertaste. Nice bottle and presentation.
I take this one as my baseline for an 8 score - leaves room at the top for the superb and the mind-blowingly good, and room for a lot below !

I paid less for probably the same rating. But overall this rum is fantastic.

I love rums from Barbados and this is fantastic mix of them. Easy to drink, but many layers are waiting for discover. And the price... unbelievable. Must try.

If you are looking for a golden liquid which will taste great in all situations you have found the right rum.
For me personally it is one of the best rums I know and can’t find something negative at it. The bottle is very nice to look at and the price is decent. All in all great rum

Where do I even start. This rum is an experience. Dynamically different than Plantation 5 year.
There's a buttery mouth feel to the rum which is very pleasant, surely reminiscet of the bourbon barrels used for aging.
It's Highly aromatic, very smooth and well worth the purchase. The nose is beautiful, you get heavy toasted coconut, banana, and vanilla.
The flavor is Intense. Deep sweet notes of coconut and molasses, complimented by a fruity smokey finish (mango and oak). Definitely enjoy neat. Just be careful you don't finish the bottle. It's that good!
Plantation XO is top notch!
