Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

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.

The big issue with this rum is it's supposed to be a combination of Barbadian rums but it tastes nothing like any other barbadian rums. Supposedly aged between 12 and 20 years, it tastes like it's been aged 3-5, the fact that there's no real age statement on the bottle but a bright gold 20! and a tiny "th" just screams trickery. It's not even that different to Plantation's 5 year Barbados offering and definitely not worth the price difference. The best thing it has going for it is the beautiful bottle. I know that Plantation's schtick is all about elevage and getting it to France and aging it there but I almost wish they had have kept it in barbados and bottled it there, particularly so they couldn't have added sugar (against the law there). For some reason it seems really watery especially considering how old it's supposed to be. It's nice and if you have friends who don't like rum they'll love this but I wouldn't buy a bottle again.

Plantation has a lot of depth to their product offerings but this is one of the few that is consistently everywhere. Good reason - it's amazing. Treat yourself!

It's a perfect rum in many ways. First of all you see this typical Caribbean (Pirate) bottle and then you nothing this great smell.. when you take your first sip it's really soft and a lot of taste I can tell you. Find it out yourself!

Smooth and unique, I like this one a lot. It had been unavailable for some time, and boy was I glad to get my hands back on it.

This is an easy drinkables rum, the nose is sweet vanilla, also tones of the cask.

Taste is also sweet, it sips very easy and with minimal afterburn. Only downside being that there are no surprises, I would have liked some more complexity.

The bottle is nice, but its not my cup of tea. I rather have a simple bottle, instead of wastes resources.

Quite good, especially for $50 or so a bottle. But I feel like I’ve had better for cheaper. Sooooo… it’s a bit tough to pin down, for now
