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.

very good price / performance
You really need this one in your collection
The sugar in it helps smooth it out and there's is a nice sweetness to it but it still tastes relatively young compared to other highly rated sweet rums like Diplomatico R.E. or El Dorado 15 yr. I suppose I expected it to be sweeter in the way of a Demerara rum but with a Bajan flair. Decent rum but not worth the price tag IMHO. Similar taste to Kaniche XO which is made by the same place and significantly cheaper if u can find it. Update: One of the most overrated/overpriced rums there is, it’s ok but definitely not great. Your money is better spent elsewhere.
was a gift from my wife for our anniversary.. enjoyed both over rocks and mixed... will definitely buy again.. was a bit expensive but enjoyed

Denne rom kæmper lidt med mine meget store forventninger. Det er faktisk en god rom, og jeg overvejede et 8-tal. Men på grund af min skuffelse får den kun 7. Den har en fin duft af vanille, og man kan godt ane lidt smag af kokos, men rommen føles ikke så dyb i nuancerne. Problemet er, at den er meget sprittet til at starte med, og det er det, der skuffer. Efter 10 minutter er det meget bedre, men førstehåndsindtrykket trækker den ned. (Nu er hele flasken drukket, og jeg savner den faktisk. Mine smagspræferencer inden for rom har ændret sig det sidste års tid i takt med at jeg har smagt mange. Og derfor har jeg ændret til et 8-tal. Jeg overvejer at købe en ny flaske, og så kan der være jeg bevæger mig op til 9)
Smagt igen i 2021:
Blød og frugtig duft med karamel. Smag af honning og vanilje. En smule varm, men også blød. Jeg fastholder 8-tallet. (1. december 2021 i 1423)

I like this rum very much. Nice color of dark amber. In the nose coconut and vanilla smell. I fall in love with this rum after first sip...notes of coconut,ripe bananas,vanilla and a bit of oak cask. Very smooth and sweet just enough. Perfect!

Un nez qui m'a failli faire regretter mon achat ! Ca sent l'alcool et le vieux parfum de ma grand mère. Mais une fois en bouche et surtout une fois avaler whhhooooo la magie opère ! Ca reste loooooooongtemps en bouche, ca change quatre fois de note de fin. A boire doucement pour en profiter un maximum !

Vůně medu, trochu ovoce, možná náznak kůže. Chuť je příjemně sladká, trochu dřeva, trochu citrusů. Dozvuk není ostrý. Příjemně se pije. Jeden z nejlepších jaké jsem ochutnal.

Otroligt mjuk och rund smak å goda aromer som fyller gommen, utan tvekan en favorit bland de olika Rom jag smakat. Man ska dock veta att jag uppskattar när rom är lite åt det söta hållet och det är defensivt Plantation XO 20th Anniversery.

C'est un bon rhum agréable à boire mais dans lequel il est dur de trouver autre chose que de la vanille et du caramel. Passez votre chemin si vous aimez la complexité.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

Yes, it's a perfect rum, very smooth and with nice smell...but, from some reason, something is missing here for me. Unfortunatelly, I can not desribe what. May I just simply expected more. Anyway, the bottle itself is heavy and very nice, so definitely a perfect gift
