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’m partial to Barbados rum and Plantation 20 is like a comfortable pair of shoes that never disappoints from start to finish.

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.

This is one of my favorites, it's a good price and it's just amazing. For summer days, for winter nights it just tastes great whenever you drink it.. I am truly a fan of this one! Please don't mix this one, it needs to be enjoyed on its own with 2 cubes of ice..

Read some reviews and am amazed to read things like "oddball" and "not completely smooth" and can only say that after 4 bottles it is still a perfect 10, smooth, awsome nose and complex taste finishing of very but very smoothly

Men den smager jo overhovedet ikke grimt, jeg tror bare jeg havde forventet mere. Mere sød end andre fra plantation. Megen sødme, vanille og kokos i duft og smag.

The bottle is incredibly heavy and large and wrapped in raffia. It has a very thick glass bottom, nice printing and labels. The stopper is made of a plastic cork imitation with a huge wooden handle with an inserted brass plate. A little overshoot.
The copper-brown rum has a tempting sweet caramel and oak smell, which will not disappoint. It is quite sweet, tastes of toffee and caramel, with lots of wood and oak. Ripe fruits and some leather add to tihs in a pleasant combination, Maybe also some chocolate and vanilla. Uncommon is the subtle coconut taste, which is a great addition to the aforementioned aromas. It has a quite long after taste and, all in all, is a complex combination and a great sip.

Really smoot rum, get notes of dark chocolate and butter. There is a dominant coconut flavour, however this does not bother me at all. Can imagine that after a few glasses in a row the coconut can become a bit unpleasant. For a long time this was one of my favourites rum, but now I don't find it that interesting anymore and a bit too sweet.
However its great to get familiar with good rums at a reasonable price point.
