Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still
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.

...a rozhodne nesklamal. Vôňa mi evokovala náplň, ktorá sa dáva do zákuskov, presnejšie do špicov. Chuť som očakával viac sladšiu, dosť sa mi podobala na Diplomatico RE, akurát mi prišla trošku "ovocnejšia". Ocenil by som nižšiu cenovku.

From my point of view a perfect rum. Nice golden brown color in decent and still elegant bottle. Main aroma and taste is caramel and vanilla, but not in a disturbing way. Cask is noticable too. Everything is well balanced. For me best value for money ratio even for non-rum enthusiasists.

Legjobb plantation, legalább is a legfogyaszthatóbb, menő üvegbe palackozva.bármikorrum
Very smooth, not too sweet, excellent nose, practically no alcohol burn. You can feel that last cognac cask it rested briefly. Love it! Wish to find similar taste profile.

Taste toasted marshmallows. Smooth upfront finishes with a little bite. This is one I will buy again.

Nagyon jó, különleges íz. Kellemesen lágy, érződik a sherry hordós érlelés.

Sophisticated rum with complex flavors of tropical fruits, vanilla, and spices. Smooth finish.
Nice dark and easy sipping rum notes of spice
Caramely a bit hot but goes down smoothly

The sugar in it helps smooth it out and there's is a nice sweetness to it but it still tastes relatively young compared to other highly rated sweet rums like Diplomatico R.E. or El Dorado 15 yr. I suppose I expected it to be sweeter in the way of a Demerara rum but with a Bajan flair. Decent rum but not worth the price tag IMHO. Similar taste to Kaniche XO which is made by the same place and significantly cheaper if u can find it. Update: One of the most overrated/overpriced rums there is, it’s ok but definitely not great. Your money is better spent elsewhere.
