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.

What a nice sipping rum. There are better out there, BUT itβs Great for the Price :)
My first rum i ever tasted!
(so my rating is based on what i taste and i dont have any comparisons with other rums.)
In the past i tried a couple sips of whiskey at my dad's house but the taste of the alcohol is way to strong for me and i really dont like it, and i wanted to try something new because normali i drink beer, so i hope to find my love in the (sweet) rums!
So i looked on the internet and i found this rating site and soon after that i found this bottle of rum. i saw the ratings and it was excactly where i looking for. (taste and price)
And wow i love it, the taste is sweet/smooth, easy to sip, and a nice after burn, and reasonably priced, so a really good first try on the rums i think.
So if you also new and want to start with a random bottle? i really recommend this one!.
Sorry if my writing is not correct, English is not my native language!
I come from whisk(e)y, preferably scotch and Irish. That said spirits are not new to me, after doing extensive research I made this rum my first purchase. It was the smoothest spirit I've ever tried and on top of that very sweet but missed a lot of complexity and flavor, literally felt as if my tongue was left with a hole expecting something else. It's very good, very tasty, smooth, but it didn't wow me.

Pineapple and Coconut In the nose, Dry mango and vanilla chocolate surround your tongue. Easy and sweet rum to drink
Absolutely beautiful, rich rum with copious amounts of coconut flavour with hints of vanilla on the finish.
