Multiple | Aged | 40% ABV | Pot and Column Still
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.

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.

Awesome!!! This is my favourite rum so far. Very excellent.
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

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.
