Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

As expected, Great taste with lots of vanilla & caramell.

Zacapa XO was my absolute favourite, until I tried this one - just as nice and half the price. Vanilla, coconut predominant, lovely and smooth.
Excellent value

Superb in any way, just perfect drink. Could be too good if it can ever be like that...Been tasting it in a bar, it is expensive, yes, but you have one life to live.
I belive next choise for me would be a whole bottle.
Fantastic drink, deserves 10 points!

I admit I'm not a rum connoisseur. My favorite rum so far has always been Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva which I also rated 9. But this one beats it in color, flavor (a touch of banana, caramel and coconut) and smoothness. I can hardly imagine anything better (well, I have a bottle of El Dorado 15 which I haven't opened yet). I don't rate it 10 for the same reason I don't rate restaurants 5 on Trip Advisor, just in case something better comes up in the future. But this one comes close to 10. I'll give it a 9.5.

Has a nice vanilla carmel finish to it. Recommended.

This one is a bit sweet for me, surprisingly sweet actually for a barbados rum, but it's a distinctive and seductive drink. Coconut water and caramel on the lead, transitioning into vanilla and a delightful warmth from the alcohol and spices working together, with a lasting, pleasant finish.

Incredibly smooth, eminently drinkable. Beautiful to behold, and doesn't break the bank. There's no reason not to let a bottle of this into your life at least once.

Easily takes first place for me. Very smooth...almost perfect. Definitely tastes the way it should for its price point.

To date, this is the best rum I’ve had. Incredibly smooth, barely feels like you’re drinking alcohol. Quite sweet, with notes of caramel and dried berries. Only reason I’m giving it a 9 is because I am leaving room for other rums, but even so I don’t think I’ll find a better one

This is like sex in a bottle. It's waffle deserving. Someone get a get away car.

Rare that you find a bottle of rum that looks great in the bottle, tastes great and for such high quality is not badly priced at US$50 duty free. This and Mr Gay XO are my two top Barbados rums. Both are must haves for the serious rum connoisseur. Hints of oak and burnt caramel, silky going down with light burn and nice fruity taste.
