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.

Price-quality one of the best sipping rums on the market. Always have one of these on the shelf.

Maybe it’s me, but I found it “ok” at best. I’ve some how got to come up with 50 characters for this review, which is tricky to do for a rum that simply failed to impress.
Very even taste, I just don't understand why such a crappy cork should be used for such a classy bottle.

Bought this one after a friend of mine recommended it to me.
Can’t thank him enough

Good rum, very smooth. I find it best chilled/neat. Cinnamon finish and sweeter than I anticipated but nice taste overall.

Very sweet, bit artificial and harsh on the tongue. Lots of burnt sugar, coconut and vanilla. Can enjoy a bit, but mostly it is too sweet and artificial for me, can't drink much of it.
According to some other reviewer on this site, I might have a 'fake' version though, based on the cork of my bottle. Don't know if this is true.

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 5/28/20. Sorry, but this is a mess. Save your money. Pours dark gold. This is more like a pre-mixed cocktail because they've added so damn much sugar to it ("dosage"). Not my cup of sugar.

Excellent Smoothness. Subtle spice. Nice complexity. Strong Finish. Delicious aroma.

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
