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 indeed...rich taste and immense aftertaste
The thing is, round, smooth and gently. A sweet soft taste of the warm sun and with a touch of caribbean sea

Price and wow factor wise, not my choice to spend 50 plus bucks on this rum, there are better ones in the premium category. I tastes this one at a plantation rums only tasting.
My "go to" rum! On the rocks! Cannot recommend this enough
This is an amazing rum for the price. At a price point of $45 it gives you the smoothness of a rum worth at least 60 or 70. One of my favorites to drink straight or on the rocks.

This is by far the best bang for your buck (if you like vanilla) an amazing rum runs with some of the best at an affordable price

It has a nice colour with a tint of orange. With its nice sweet caramel smell calls for something heavy but it is all the opposite. It's fresh and light.

Na tenhle rum jsem se hodně těšil a nezklamal. Každopádně ten kokosovo-vanilkový nádech, který vzniká nejspíš zráním v dubových sudech po koňaku, je hodně intenzivní. Ve vůni jsou dobře rozpoznatelné ještě tóny banánů. Myslím, že každého (včetně mě) dostalo právě to, že cítí tyhle dost konkrétní vůně. Chuťově se jedná o výrazný rum s vanilkovo-čokoládovými tóny s příjemným hřejivým meruňkovo-broskvovým zakončením. Ale Presidente Martí 15, jenž jsem chutnal následně, mi přišel přeci jen ještě o chlup lepší. Ale uvidíme při dalších shledání s tímto jinak vybroušeným drahokamem mezi rumy. Je možné že časem půjdu z hodnocením ještě výš, zatím dávám solidních 9.

Someone else said it best - thick and smooth. This rum is magnificent. It has a thick feel, lingering taste, some sweetness, very light burn, leaves you wanting another sip. Light oakiness, great aroma. A must have, not a mixer. Smooth all day.
Enjoy everything this magnificent rum has to offer either neat or on ice.

This rum is little bit overpriced here in Czech Republic. It is very good yet quite sharp for a 20-year (of course a bled with younger rums) old drink. It's totally worth trying as it's taste is interesting, full-bodied and great for those who don't expect really sweet taste, but I would expect more rounded body from such an old guy.
