Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Sweet present!! Tastes like a real Carribian rhum should taste!

V poradí tretí testovaný Plantation. Fľaša je úplná topka - veľká, ťažká, gravírovaná, opletaná, už sama osebe vyzerá ako pirát ;). Farba krásna medovo-mahagónová, vôňa jemná, funguje ako kvalitný teaser. Chuťovo veľmi jemný, takmer dokonalý - karamel, med, vanilka, oriešky...každý si tu nájde, čo potrebuje. Neuveriteľná vyváženosť, hoci už lacnejší súrodenec Barbados 5Y je tónovo veľmi podobný. Až pri dojazde je zrejmé, že XO zrelo dlhšie, do popredia sa viac dostáva dubová chuť. Navyše má hustejšiu konzistenciu, subjektívne koncentrovanejšiu arómu a o niečo menej cukru. Pridaná hodnota oproti Barbadosu tu teda je, za mňa veľmi silná osmička, k vyššiemu ratingu by musel byť v chuti trochu komplexnejší.

Starting with its appearance in a lovely bottle, this rum doesn't let you down. Just enough sweetness to appeal to the masses as a great sipper but not too sweet to feel this a dessert!
The flavors of vanilla and coconut come through in a smooth subtle way. It might be my imagination, as I'm no sommelier, but the taste from the bourbon casks peeps through.

Very smooth. Enjoyed well by the ladies. Straight up , it was superb!

While you can taste added sweetness the great quality of rum shines through the most. Vanillia, Carmel! Smooth

Bananas foster on the nose. Pineapple and coconut on the palate but much better than a pina colada. Slightly sweet but not overly so. Could drink all day.

Ùžasná jantarová barva, chut jemná po vanilce, ovocná vune a koncovka je sladká. Opravdu doporučuji.

We were surprised by this one. It gets very high ratings but we found it to be light in flavor or personality and so so high in alcohol fumes! It’s intense, not smooth with quite a bite. Made into a rum old fashioned it was just ok.

I don’t love the funk of most Plantation rums, but this one is a really good sipper.

Not too sweet, not too dry. Very nice balanced flavor and very smooth. This will be a regular for my rum cabinet. It is light on the palate - very refreshing.
