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.

Definitely an oak odor. The flavor is very good balanced. Not overly sweet. Good strong but not overpowering burn which fades quickly and then the smooth, rich, golden brown liquor goes down like oil.

This rum is a delicious sipper. Hints of cinnamon, vanilla, and sugars are forward on the tongue. Nuanced flavors come forward from additional aging in cognac casks. I'd love to taste a version that doesn't have added sugar.

It tasted exactly what i imagined hiw a tropical rum from barbados would taste. Coconuts, banana, smooth rum. After the first sip i could imagine myself on a bounty beach. A must have for in the cabinet. Solid 8. I do miss some afterburn and lasting taste for a 20y old rum. Hence the 8 and not a 9
Havent tried that many roms but this one was very smooth in the flavour when u mixed it with cola.
Best rum i tasted so far and the bottle looks great :D

Nase: intensiver Duft nach Karamelltoffées, leicht fruchtig und der Ahnung von Röstaromen
Gaumen: besonders weich und ausgewogen, mit der exotischen Süße von Zuckerrohr, fruchtig nach reifer Banane, kandierter Orange und gerösteter Kokosnuss, Kakao, Toast und Vanille
Abgang: Geschmack und Duft bleiben noch lange erhalten
Vielleicht um einen Hauch zu süß. Dennoch 10 Punkte

The first rum I really appreciated. Not a classic rum raisin kind of rum. Instead the coconut nose and especially flavour here is just amazing. Good bang for the buck for sure!

Dolcezza medio alta con un forte finale caramelloso, forse un po troppo ma è talmente morbido che va giu con piacere. Se vi piacciono i rum dolci e facili da bere questo è la scelta migliore anche per la qualità del prodotto molto superior ai "Z" rum.

Dennne er nok også en 8 vurdering, men for mine uerfarne smaks løker å gane så synes jeg den stikker litt rundt i munn. kanskje det er for jeg liker mye sødme.
Tror kanskje jeg må vurdere denne til en høyere karakter når jeg har drukket hele flaska.

I purchased this bottle to celebrate the birth of my first daughter Layla. Everything about this bottle attracts me, and has been a challenging 5 months trying not to try it as the bottle sat in my liquor cabinet. The packaging was a nicely textured and sturdy cardboard box which protects the perfectly crafted bottle that's elegantly wrapped in palm leaves. Getting down to the good stuff, this rum is liquid gold and is perfection in a bottle. Smooth crisp flavors, that storm your pallet one after another with complexity that I was unable to distinguish from the 2 glasses that I had. I tip my hat to the Plantation Rum company for this one. Although, this isn't the best rum that I've ever tried; it is the best that I have had in a long time. The rum is aged to the point to hit the peak flavor for this rum, and the amount of traveling that these bottles have gone through is astonishing.
