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.

Very fine rum with an unobtrusive taste, after a slightly sharper start, it turns into a slightly sweeter tone. Super price-performance ratio. Beautiful bottle and even better contents.

One of my first Rum which changed my understanding of this alocohol and approach. It always stays as one of the top in my list. I really recommend if you would like to start with Rums, amazing taste and aroma.
Хубав аромат, мек вкус. Леко остър в началото. Цена качество : много добре

So smooth and flavorful with apple backend. One of the best I have tasted.
Good rum, enjoyable. One I always keep on hand in the cabinet.
Nádherná masivní lahev, dobrý, velmi známý rum, který je ale dle mého názoru spíše přehypovaný. V porovnání s jinými rumy v této cenové hladině spíše neutrální, nijak výrazný.
Třeba o půlku levnější barbados 5y mi chutná více. Jeden z mých prvních rumů, které jsem ochutnal. Určitě se k němu ještě vrátím a třeba hodnocení přehodnotím.
Okay, not my first review - won't be my last. Let's get into it:
1. The package is good, not exceptional but good. The bottle looks great, I personally cut the straw away so I do not lose my grip on the bottle but you do you.
2. The smell, like walking in the caramel-vanilla factory. It's really good and much better than anything Cuban I have had.
3. The taste, well let me explain how I drink it first. So I opened the bottle, poured me-self a shot in a cognac glass (because I shall not be drinking capt'n rum in a crew-glass piece of thumbler filth). Now, I let the rum rest, like a baby, it will rest for 10 minutes. Then I take my sip and I play with the rum in the fore side of the mouth so the sweetness can do it's work on the proper side of the tongue. Then I let it go down the throat. In this fashion you will experience a very mild burn and an after taste of sweet caramel vanilla dripping on the tongue warming it with some alcohol. The taste itself is good and better than anything Cuban I have tasted.
HOW NOT TO DRINK IT:
In a thumbler with ice and drinking it like water. That is just burn-burn and it will taste wrong and I think thats where some bad reviews came from - they just drink it like its lemonade but remember: IT'S RUM FIT FOR A CAPTAIN.
So keep in mind: When you drink this rum, drink it properly, it's a slow-drink. Like you'd be arguing who gets what loot with your quartermaster and navigator.

Nice, but I was expecting a lot more. Not too intense tastes of chocolate, caramel, banana.
I do commend it for a very nice, long finish.
This was close to being a 6, but a bottle is nice to look at.

Very smooth and an awesome sipper. One of my favorites for sure.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

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
