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.

Vzhladom na hype okolo tohoto kusku a cenu ktoru som objavil v nejakom shope (tesne okolo 40€) som si povedal ze to musim skusit tiez.
Aroma je velmi zaujimava citit jemna alkoholovost trochu sudu, trochu ovocia.
Po ochutnani najprv otvori tropicke ovocie, ciastocne kokos. Casom prejne do kokos az skorica.
Vzhmadom ma ostatne recenzie by som ho cakal ale sladsi (asi som proste zvyknuty na sladkosti).
Na chvoste sa ale chut rychlo straca, mozno nejaka jemna sudovost az horkost ostava.
Cakal som ze tomu strelim za 9 od boku a nebavime sa.
Ale myslim ze hodnotenie, co je tu momentalne (8,4) sedi uplne presne.
Delicious rum, would definitely drink again. Will buy myself a bottle when I have the chance. Definitely worth trying!
Very beautiful bottle and especially cork. The rum has almost no odor. The amount of sweetnes and vanilla in the flavor is way too much! Feels that they wanted to make a sippable rum for all by adding as much sugar as possible.

...a rozhodne nesklamal. Vôňa mi evokovala náplň, ktorá sa dáva do zákuskov, presnejšie do špicov. Chuť som očakával viac sladšiu, dosť sa mi podobala na Diplomatico RE, akurát mi prišla trošku "ovocnejšia". Ocenil by som nižšiu cenovku.

From my point of view a perfect rum. Nice golden brown color in decent and still elegant bottle. Main aroma and taste is caramel and vanilla, but not in a disturbing way. Cask is noticable too. Everything is well balanced. For me best value for money ratio even for non-rum enthusiasists.

So very good. Has become a favorite. Been wanting to try it for some time. Well worth the wait.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

Well,
Plantation has easily the most consciousness marketing department that existed. All the way from the box to the bottle no corners were cut. I could write a mile long summary on that alone but that's not why we are here. Opening the bottle and sniffing it gives you a bunch of wonderful hints, first the cask then some coconut, spices (maybe cinnamon) and a very nice sugar smell. In the glass its a very dark amber, tasting it neat is a very warming rum, extremely well balanced. The coconut is a unique surprise that i'm not used to in aged rums and it makes a very nice addition to the collection. Noting its balanced you get hints of chocolate (probably dark chocolate), oak cask, alcohol,the coconut and vanilla. The coconut after taste lingers for a long time. In cola its good but not as good as straight up. Since its balanced the cola kills some of its unique hints, still very good however. I can see this bottle being a mega hit at a holiday party.
8.5 on rum and .5 bonus points on packaging/bottle.
