Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still Distilled

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.

Smooth sipping rum. Great value. Don’t spoil it with cola.

Initially it reminds me of a palm beach. The first notes is vanilla, coconuts and a bit of cask. The taste is medium sweet and strong, but sling it for a minute and it is really well balanced.

Des arômes de coco, vanille, barbe à papa.
Très rond, sucré.

Laisse des arômes de sucre raffiné en fin de bouche.

Pas à mi. Goût

Unique rum with hint of pineapple aftertaste, wish it was just a bit smoother but for the cost ($45ish) I can't complain. Definitely value to dollar, only rum that beats price to value is dos maderas.

Great everyday rum. I love to sip it after a stressful day at work because of it tropical notes. It makes me feel like I am taking a vacation in the Caribbean.

Was on my wish list for a while. Really smooth, good rum to be sipped neat. Nice looking bottle, too. One of the best I've had.

Nice bottle, excellent aged Rum. Nose of bananas and warmed brown sugar, with a touch of coconut. Smooth as ever, taste of lovely sweet caramel and sugar, with a bit of vanilla. I didn't get too much oak in this one, which is perfect. So well balanced. Never mix this one- which should be obvious! Paid USD 43 in New York and worth every penny.

Bezpochyby celkově nejhodnotnější standardně produkovaný rum v této cenové kategorii.
Neobyčejně lahodný, pokud vám ovšem nebude vadit, že chutná spíš jako vynikající koňak. Nebo tak, jak jste si vždycky představovali, že by vynikající koňak mohl chutnat. Ovšem obohacený o sice velmi decentní, ale výraznou kokosovou chuť a vůni.
Chcete-li ještě razantnější kokos, zkuste Kaniché XO (https://www.rumratings.com/brands/1344-kaniche-xo) téhož výrobce.
Nepůsobí doslazovaně, i když maličko je.
Velmi mnohovrstevné pití - co karibského si v tom budete chtít představit, to v tom najdete. Vše ale ve velmi jemné formě; zejména ovocné tóny jsou přítomny jen v nádechu. Přesto to není žádní babské (ověřeno) ani teploušské (hádal bych) pití. Chybí mu potřebná chlapácká či zženštilá póza; jediná póza, kterou to má, je harmonicky sofistikovaný hedonismus, na což zcela přízemně slyším já.
Připočteme-li k tomu velmi zdařilou adjustáž, je to navíc luxusně vyhlížející dárek, který udělá radost i těm, co ho hned nevypijí.
Tato recenze vznikla na podkladě zatím osmi spořádaných lahví; další už jsou připraveny v mém skutečném "cabinetu". A nepochybně dokud budu moci chlastat, bude v něm vždy aspoň jedna do zásoby.

Ich habe diesen Rum sehr lieb bekommen und kann ihn nur weiterempfehlen. Habe ihn schon zum 3mal in meiner Sammlung. Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis.
Fruchtig, nicht zu süss und ein touch von Kokosnuss.
Gut ausbalanciert, rund und weich.

a very sweet note, harmonized with a Long taste ... but the last year Version was better, the this year Version has a Little taste of pur alcohol.

comparable with zacapa xo. A little bit sweeter than zacapa xo but the taste and euphoric efecft is overhelming any rum
