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.

I knew if all the people singing its praises. Never really caught on. Finally tried it. Yet another rum I'll put above that horrible Zacapa 23 (new, not original). It was so smooth. I like Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva, and had a shot of it after Plantation 20. Never expected Diplomático to feel boring. I just can't describe it any better than this way. It knocked down a peg one of my favorites and proceed yet again that the new Zacapa is a joke.

My favorite rum so far. Great taste. Slightly sweet with a nice nuttiness.

I was hesitant to give a 9/10 rating, but since there are only full points here I could not have done otherwise. This rum is truly wonderful. Tastes heavenly, goes down smoothly and the biggest problem is the limited capacity of the bottle.
I have tasted vanilla, cocoa, oak and maybe a hint of coconut. Once the cup is emptied it smells of cloves.
This rum truly is a fantastic choice.

Probably best rum I ever had, with nice bottle and pack.

At first it comes across very sweet and with a strong rum taste. It just lacks the smoothness and complexity to get rated higher. But for a price around 40 Euros there is hardly a better one.

One of my favorites, very sweet and a very distinct flavor of coconut. Simply really smooth and enjoyable straight up.

As far as I can see this is the same as the "Plantation Barbados XO 20th Anniversary" found on this site, so I'm giving the same rating on both.

Very smooth sipper with long lasting after taste. A lot of vanilla and chocolate with coconut and som bananas.

Oeil : doré à reflets bronze, très forte viscosité en parois avec des larmes épaisses et plutôt lentes
Nez : projection d'intensité moyenne, d'une superbe élégance, offrant d'abord des épices (vanille, girofle), la noisette, quelques fruits exotiques (ananas grillé), touche végétale, résine, crème brûlée, support d'alcool, dans un ensemble d'un équilibre planant
Bouche : d'abord les épices, assez marquées, puis des dimensions boisées et balsamique, sans agression ni brûlure, de belle longueur
Conclusion : on aime! 9 à 10...

This rum was everything that I was expecting it to be. Not overly sweet. Goes down with no burn at all. Very smooth. Drank it on the rocks.

Super fin rom med noter af vanilje og masser af kokos

Superbe, ni trop sucré ni trop alcoolisé en "bouche".
Bon rapport Qualité/Prix. Très bon sur glace.
