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.

I was given this beautiful bottle as a birthday gift. O yeah! My friend know me well.
A couple of weeks later I felt it was time to open it. Im going thru some life changing events and I needed to uplift myself in a time of crisis and for new beginnings.
First of the box and the bottle are made from the best craftsmanship. Beautiful and even the half the process is done in France it still has a nice Caribbean touch to its design.
The sound it creates when the crown is lift gives me goose bumps.
I had a hard time detecting the smells.
Colors are nice and caramel but not to dark.
The taste was amazing and it stays well in your mouth. Especially in the roof.
Strong taste of Sugarcane, Vanilla and Coconut.
Easy to swallow and has a lite sting.
Beautiful mild but still carries a lill slap.
Highly recommended.

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!

Nice caramel, but not cloying. Perhaps a late hint of coconut. Insanely smooth directly upon first opening.
