Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

This is a good rum. Its not that sweet. A light color.

I love the hidden notes of coconut. The bottle cork is impressive, one of the best I have seen in my short rum experience.

Delicious traditional-style rum. My palate's not that good so I'm not going to go there. Definitely complex and almost pulp-like taste, probably what I can assume most plantation style runs will taste like. Still a bit harsh but again probably apart of the process. A bit disappointed though from all the hype around this guy but again, probably a style more than a quality attribute.

According to their website it is a blend of their oldest reserve rum. The plantation brand by cognac Ferrand is interesting with their double maturation with its first in the hot Caribbean and their second maturation in the cooler climate of France in ex cognac cask. The result is a smooth and complex rum.

It's presented in a very bottle but I wish I had the older style bottle as prefer the look of that one.

Deep mahogany in colour with copper hues. Really nice smell with hints of vanilla, caramel sweetness, some banana, chocolate and some cognac notes throughout.

It has a creamy taste, caramel sweetness with a little spice and some oak dryness throughout which is not overpowering moving into a nice long finish.

Even though it has added sugar and I believe caramel colouring its a very nice complex rum and pretty good value in the UK.

Love it.

A very nice rum with a complex, but great, taste. Really an experience!

Words are useless.It is miraculous. Smooth and fresh.
Definitely is a premium rum. One more word; Fabulous!

Que dire sinon que cette bouteille a tous les atouts d'un très grand rhum :
- un nez riche et complexe
- une bouche fruitée, épicée, complexe, faite de multiples saveurs qui font qu'on le redécouvre à chaque gorgée
- une onctuosité balancée par une belle fraîcheur en bouche
- sucré et sec à la fois !
- une longueur en bouche exceptionnelle
Un très grand rhum. En tout cas mon favoris à un prix très accessible...

This is a sweet and soft kind of rum, a kind of rum I myself really like, despite the strong taste of coconut... It is a marvelous entrance to a whole new world of fine and good rum!

For me, this blend between banana, vanilla, roasted coconut and wood is the perfect taste. The only reason I don't give it 10/10 is because I hop that something out there can top this.
Perfect on the rocks with a cuban cigar.

Un rhum qui au nez , dégage des aromes de noix de coco et ensuite de pelure de banana, meilleur que le dos maderas selon mes gout personnelle.
