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.

Smooth. Nice sipper. Also very fine with Cole for the faint of heart.
Very tasty, full body, spicy but very balanced. The one you are returning back to after experimenting with others. Great value. Always must have at least one bottle at home :)
I love rum, especially aged. One of my favorites used to be Zacapa Centenario. I tried this Plantation and it was a great surprise. Warm, round, pleasant, with a long after taste. Not cheap at all, but worthwhille.

I try to steer away from the dosed rums now, but if I have to pick one, it's this one, of those I've encountered so far. It truly is delicious, fruity, light and sweet. If you want to introduce your friends to rum, I'd go with this one over Zacapa. I still think you're supposed to move on from it afterwards, but I might dabble back into this some days I'm not looking for an adventure.

Plantation neni moja favorite znacka ale tento rum ma prijemne prekvapil.
This rum is very good and the packaging, box and bottle, is genuinely magnificient. I drank it neat and it tastes a bit like coconut flavour at the end. Unlike most of the other ratings, I can't rate it above 7 considering the sweet taste which seems to be added.

A spiced rum, not bad, but for me the after-burn was a little too much. A clean taste, nothing fancy.

Первый нос - чувствовалась небольшая спиртуозность. Дал подышать и после этого спиртуозность пропала. Ваниль, фрукты
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

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.
