Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still Distilled

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.

Plantation hit the mark with this offering. The taste is complex without a very sweet taste.

Beautiful color, nice bottle,, good flavor, has a bit of almost spice. Maybe cinnamon, not quite as smooth as a zapata XO or Appleton 21. The best rum for the price hands down!

Nice sweet and easy going. Brown sugar caramel and raisin.

One of the most consummed rums in Austria and we are known to make good decisions. Good enough to be drunken everyday till the end of times.

Dette er en rigtig god, og let drikkelig rom. Den smager lidt af kokos, og ellers dejlig blid. En rom man godt kan drikke igen.

Fine touche de sucre et se termine très bien en bouche
Lui et le barcelo impérial se boivent très bien en bonne compagnie

The bottle tries to be fancy and representative but looking at it you know it's only pretending. Golden brown color with moderate thickness, basic rum in the glass.
Fruity sweet aroma with banana and apricot, floral notes and vanilla.
Very sweet and thick in the mouth with little alcohol bite at the beginning, caramel and molasses. It is then followed by some barrel and leather notes, lingering on in the woody and dry finish. Modest aftertaste with wood, rust and metal.
This rum is not bad but lacks complexity.

The full smoothe taste, the way it sticks to your glass, the way it looks and tastes is just beautiful. The price versus quality is top notch. The whole presentation is perfect. I recommend this rum to anyone.

Light copper-ochre colour.

Medium intense nose with aroma's of smoke, orange peel, caramel and a small hint of vanilla.

Smooth on the palate with powerful concentrated flavours.
Aroma's of caramel, sugar cane, orange peel and vanilla.
Very long finish and perfectly balanced. Flavours are in perfect harmony with each other

For me this is one of the best rums I have tasted so far

This Barbados beauty is delicious, and dangerously so. The rum is light and sweet, but not so much as to be cloying. The most dominant flavor on my palate while I’m enjoying this is coconut. Throughout the drink and on through the mild but pleasantly warm finish, the presence of coconut makes itself known, but not in a overpowering or artificial way, as some lower quality runs are guilty of. That being said, your own personal opinion of coconut will go a long way to dictate your opinion of this rum. Personally I’m a huge fan of this rum, and I buy a bottle of it whenever I’m able to (I live in a smaller town and don’t go so far as to special order). My only complaint about the rum, and it is a minor one at that, is the fake (rubber?) stopper. The bottle itself is fantastically designed and should by all means have a traditional cork to complete the ensemble. The fake cork is the equivalent of hanging fuzzy dice under the rear view mirror of a Rolls Royce....sure you can do it, but both the car and bottle deserve better. Again....my only complaint in what is in my opinion a dangerously delicious sipping rum.
