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.

A perfect rum. All my buddies loved it. Well balanced, nice complexity, interesting flavors and not too sweet. So, if this is a perfect rum, is there a better? And is it not more interesting to have a rum with small edges? Perhaps to smooth, but I can't say right now...

This rum is fantastic from the nose to the finish. The bottle and cork is absolutely beautiful and is a nice rum to display. From start to completion the tastes go through a changing process which end with a long lingering sweet but not to sweet finish. You will experience fruits, spice, hint of leather, a touch of tobacco and finish with caramel, vanilla and ever so slight sprinkling of chocolate. The finish is the very best part of enjoying the excellent creation. You gotta drink this one either neat or on the rocks! It truly does Rock!

I have already taste few rums from Plantation and I have never been dissapointed. This XO 20th Anniversary is provided in a nice bottle 'Plantation ' style with a nice cap. Really good looking. It really need to take a breath of fresh air to release all his aromas. You have to be patient but it is worth. Vanilla and caramel are well present plus a little something else. Good and pleasant aftertaste. Definitively a very good one !

The first smell was amazing, sweet with molasses and brown sugar. The taste is similar, with a great drawn out and slightly spicy initial punch turning into a long sweet finish that's just the right amount of oil.
