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 is a really smooth rum with almost no alcohol burn. It is a little bit to sweet for my taste, but nevertheless one of my favourites. Good rum for starters.

Rigtig god "hverdags rom". Smager godt, men jeg synes ikke den har en særlig karakteristisk

Nice, but not particularly distinctive, bought on a whim and not disappointed but not particularly impressed with it either
Beautiful vanilla tones. Smooth and aged well. Top notch rum for sure.
Pricey but well worth it
Really easy to drink, goes smooth in the throat ! As sweet as a rum should be ! 10/10 would buy again !

A snazzy looking decanter bottle of XO rum from Barbados, aged in bourbon barrels before being shipped to France for a secondary maturation in Cognac Casks.
Nose: Hints of spicy oak on the nose, with guava, some coconut and dried banana. Buttery.
Palate: Spiced, creamy palate entry, with sweet vanilla notes and caramel. Oaky spices.
With a toasted oak caramel finish.
Tasty and good value for the $$
This is the one I reach for when I have company over who have never sipped a rum before. Great nose, just sweet enough, a little burn and great, long finish. Almost too easy to drink, my friends and I love this stuff so much we buy it by the case!

Very good rum, not very sweet in my opinion. It has a wooden bottle top.
This bottle will be one of my favorites.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is a blend of the oldest Bajan Rum which owns the brand, specially selected rum from the Caribbean who've been matured in ex-bourbon barrels. The blended rum is aged again after blending, this time in small French oak barrels for a period of 12 to 18 months. This double maturation gives space to the rum to make better and fuller flavors and character development which improves the result.
The precious contents of Plantation XO 20th Anniversary comes in a beautiful decanter sealed by a synthetic cork that bottle sealing perfect. The carafe shows the seductive rich color of copper and curiosity to taste.
Aromas of caramel and toasted coconut immersed open in a spicy oak aroma, followed by orange marmalade and hints of marzipan with tobacco. Tones of brown sugar, vanilla and a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg provide balance and harmony to the nose.
