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.

Got this for a bargain and it’s good value for money.

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

Smooth for the rocks as rum should be, very bold embodied sweetness.

It's a good rum, but for me it is not a rum I would buy again. For the price there's better rums out there.

Tasted at Kill Devil Rum Club Plantation tasting at Laka Lono 5/28/20.
This was the first of four, what a lineup!
A delicious rum, so very smooth, just really really good.
This is likely a sweet rum - because I like it :)

In this price range I prefer Zacapa 23 over the Plantation XO Asiverssary. The Zacapa 23 Solera is a bit more creamy, which I prefer. And the zacapa has a better longer finish (chocolate notes). But this Plantation XO is a must-have for any rum enthusiast!
In general is soft and nice to drink, it won't bring any disruptive flavour, but it is sweet beyond balance.
Výborný základní rum, vyvážená chuť. Svěží. Ani silný ani slaby

This rum is ridiculously smooth. It’s smoother than drinking water. It has a very velvety sensation and perfectly balanced aromas. The first time I tried it it blew me away.
01/2021 After over 60 rums one had to get dropped down and as great as this is it just doesn’t compete with the other tens anymore
