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.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite sipping rums. So smooth with strong vanilla and banana flavors with the right balance of sweetness in a beautiful bottle.

Had for the first time and very smooth. Especially get the vanilla. Definitely worthy of a spot in the liquor cabinet.

Der Plantation Rum gehört zu den wenigen die in Barbados hergestellt und in Frankreich abgefüllt worden sind. Harmonisch weich - eine dezente Süße im Hintergrund, gepaart mit leichtem Karamell. Alles zusammen ein Rum zum Pur genießen ohne Eis.

What not to love about this rum?
The bottle design is lovely and majestic.
The aroma tells of some vanilla.
The taste is well balanced and not to sweet nor to harsh, very smooth

Oh my, over a year since I reviewed this. I was excited when I found it at a big liquor warehouse. But it was a different bottle and different experience. Sill a very good rum. But not as I reviewed in 2015. Until now I hadn't realized the bottle that showed up in my cabinet was not what I'd had. I'll post both. I'm still not sure what the difference is? Both are 20th anniversary edition. Both are XO but no specific age. Both are Barbados rum. The rum I
Prefer and gave a 9 to is the shorter, squater bottle without the string/rope mesh around the bottle.

The bottle with the mesh is slightly less sweet. It is darker, than the honey gold of the shorter bottle. It doesn't have as much complexity. It's still a decent sipper but falls short of great.

Here's my original review. It is for the shorter, squater, empty:-( bottle on the left.
This is a very complex rum. It's not overly sweet and through the aging process used it does share some characteristics of Cognac. There is a fair amount of oak for a rum. Vanilla, caramel and I think I'm picking up coconut and even chocolate. There's no burn and a long finish. If you're going to spend the money know your rums or you won't appreciate this as much as it deserves!

The first taste was surprise for me. Stronger than expected, still in my hall of fame.

Sweet scent, sweet taste but not too sweet for me. I can clearly taste vanilla but its not overwhelming. The whole rum is very well balanced and smooth. If you like sweet rums this is one of the best sipping rums out there.

What a great, straight rum. Light and little sweet, as I prefer it. Great taste.
