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.

Feiner Rum , aber etwas zu süß für meinen Geschmack.
Trotzdem , gute Qualität.
Fine rum, but a little too sweet for my taste.
Nevertheless, good quality.
Very easy to sip. A well balanced, top rum with vanilla notes.

Know there’s a lot of haters out there but I’m not one of them. Can be a little harsh at first but smooths out just fine with a pleasant aftertaste. Sipped it neat. Maybe once I’m further into my run journey I’ll discover better ones but that doesn’t detract from the enjoyment

Aroma: the aroma itself is quite sweet, I noticed vanilla, caramel and lot of coconut (coconut is really dominant here).
Taste: pretty similar to aroma, I noticed vanilla, I think little bit of cocoa and again that coconut.
Overall: For me, this Plantation, or as I like to call them "Plantážník", was the first step into the world of rum. I think it is very good rum to start your personal RUM journey. I think this rum is must have, must try rum for, well anybody who want to step into this world. At a price around 45-50€, in my country, is really good deal (good as a gift too).
old fashioned with tiki bitters. Very, very smooth

Good rum, sipping rum don’t you dare add any mixers. Maybe a little to much coco flavour coming through.

Plantation 20th Anniversary je namíchán z nejstarších rumů společnosti, zraje nejprve v Karibiku v sudech po bourbonu, poté jsou převezeny do Francie kde zrají dalších 12-18 měsíců.
Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Barbados
Aroma: Hodně uhlazená vůně. Vanilka, snad i pomeranče (až mi místy připomíná Pyrat XO reserve), lehce kůže a hlavně kokos. (85 b)
Chuť: Nádherně jemná, mírně sladká chuť, kde se postupně vynořuje kokos a koření. (91 b)
Body: 88
Shrnutí: Jeden z těch rumů, které by jste neměli minout.
