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.

Well the bottle and glass are both empty that tells you something. First of all I love the Plantation rums and their unique process in aging rums from all over the Caribbean. The Barbados XO is there best known and popular rum from M Ferrand of France. Medium gold color boasting with scents of Island spices, dried fruits, vanilla, cinnamon, bananas (Trinidad 2001had even more intense fruit scents). Bottle and packaging first class as is the rum.

While it is truly a great rum I love full bodied rums better and have yet to meet a 10, therefore an 8 rating. I will definitely buy it again.

Denne rom kΓ¦mper lidt med mine meget store forventninger. Det er faktisk en god rom, og jeg overvejede et 8-tal. Men pΓ₯ grund af min skuffelse fΓ₯r den kun 7. Den har en fin duft af vanille, og man kan godt ane lidt smag af kokos, men rommen fΓΈles ikke sΓ₯ 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 fΓΈrstehΓ₯ndsindtrykket trΓ¦kker den ned. (Nu er hele flasken drukket, og jeg savner den faktisk. Mine smagsprΓ¦ferencer inden for rom har Γ¦ndret sig det sidste Γ₯rs tid i takt med at jeg har smagt mange. Og derfor har jeg Γ¦ndret til et 8-tal. Jeg overvejer at kΓΈbe en ny flaske, og sΓ₯ kan der vΓ¦re jeg bevΓ¦ger mig op til 9)

Smagt igen i 2021:
BlΓΈd og frugtig duft med karamel. Smag af honning og vanilje. En smule varm, men ogsΓ₯ blΓΈd. 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 !

Otroligt mjuk och rund smak Γ₯ goda aromer som fyller gommen, utan tvekan en favorit bland de olika Rom jag smakat. Man ska dock veta att jag uppskattar nΓ€r rom Γ€r lite Γ₯t det sΓΆta hΓ₯llet och det Γ€r defensivt Plantation XO 20th Anniversery.

C'est un bon rhum agrΓ©able Γ  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 complexitΓ©.

The big issue with this rum is it's supposed to be a combination of Barbadian rums but it tastes nothing like any other barbadian rums. Supposedly aged between 12 and 20 years, it tastes like it's been aged 3-5, the fact that there's no real age statement on the bottle but a bright gold 20! and a tiny "th" just screams trickery. It's not even that different to Plantation's 5 year Barbados offering and definitely not worth the price difference. The best thing it has going for it is the beautiful bottle. I know that Plantation's schtick is all about elevage and getting it to France and aging it there but I almost wish they had have kept it in barbados and bottled it there, particularly so they couldn't have added sugar (against the law there). For some reason it seems really watery especially considering how old it's supposed to be. It's nice and if you have friends who don't like rum they'll love this but I wouldn't buy a bottle again.

Rigtig god Rom, kunne godt bruge lidt mere kant = lidt mere alkohol
