Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

After reading everyone else's reviews I had to try this. I was not disappointed. This is a smooth, semi sweet rum with a complex dance of vanilla, coconut, oak, and a variety of fruits. And that's just the nose. Make sure you use a good glass, because this deserves it. I used the one that came with my Zaya, and it directs the "fumage" directly where it belongs. In my nose. The flavor is so complex I have trouble picking out the individual components.
Normally I don't spend this much on spirits, but I'm this case I am glad I did. I had to cash in an "early birthday gift" to get it. Once again, I have this a 9, not a 10, because I feel I haven't had the experience to know a 10 when I see/taste it. Pretty darn close

Characterized by hints of vanilla on the nose and on the tongue. Good alcohol level, not too intrusive. At times reminiscent of the flavors of ice cream and zabaglione.
It should be drunk slowly to appreciate the evolutions in contact with oxygen

Beautiful bottle and engraving 10/10 for presentation. Wonderful aroma , let it rest for 5 minutes or so , smells of oak , vanilla , coconut and spices. If you use one ice cube then it bring out fruits like mango and banana...
I have never drank a rum with such a busy taste profile , so many different taste sensations and a good warm finish , if there is a slight fault then maybe the finish could be a bit longer but overall fantastic stuff !! Its a pleasant change that rum can taste this special without too much caramel and sugar and extra additives masking an average product , Cheers !!

It`s the favorite rum of my Latvian friend Dace, i drunk it with her on easter time

Vypit jednu, dve , tri ... Klidne vice. Ja to velmi prijemny rum s jemnou chuti. Rumova vsak nikoliv na skodu!! Bez alkoholove chuti ci paleni. Velka rumova dokonalost.

Attention seeker to me. Very pleasing rum that 90% will like. But I dont see any personality in it. Blenders played it safe, marketing did its work, end of story.

very smooth and a good mixture between sweetness and alcohol. Flavours of vanilla have the strongest influence.

One of the best rums ive tasted, good with rocks and coke.

I like my rum sweet ( I like AH Risse alot:-)).
This is still a sweet rum, but a lot less sweet tha AH Riise.
Great taste - though not a long aftertaste.

Great color and smell. Tastes like ripped banana, caramel
and banana. Nothing complicated, simple and wonderful
