Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

I don’t love the funk of most Plantation rums, but this one is a really good sipper.

Not too sweet, not too dry. Very nice balanced flavor and very smooth. This will be a regular for my rum cabinet. It is light on the palate - very refreshing.

For me it's too light in taste, but nice. Here in "RumRatinhs" Zacapa 23 has lower rating than this rum, I defenitly prefer Zacapa 23 than Plantation XO 20th Anniversary.

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.
