Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

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.

Faldt ved et tilfælde over denne fantastiske rom, som omgående blev min favorit.

This rum will ruin most other rums for you going forward. Tremendous flavor and body with a lasting finish. Has, in my opinion, best presentation when left to breath for a few minutes.

Reasonably smooth and on the sweet side. For the price a descent bottle.

This is a real good rum, good taste and not that expensive, get it if you see it.

Rhum sympathique, un peu trop sucré mais agréable à boire

A very interesting rum as one finds. Starting with cane juice aged in bourbon casks and finished in cognac barrels. Adding an interesting character vindictive of a good agricole rhum. Low heat with decent finishing notes.
