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.

Love this stuff, have had a couple of bottles now and would say it’s definitely my favourite rum so far.
This is my friends favorite, so I tasted it at Sugarcane in LV and then bought a bottle from Caskers. It’s light bronze color does not hint of its full spicy and banana nose, or its rich taste of coconut and banana or its finish of vanilla and caramel. I see why this one is so popular and highly rated! I can’t get this locally but will try to keep it in my rum collection.
I had heard a lot about this rum and had to wait ages to get my hands on a bottle (or two) and it didn't disappoint. It's just the right amount of sweet is so smooth. It's tastes incredible with banana and coconut being at the front. Syrupy mouth feel. My favourite rum so far along with kirk and Sweeney 23
A friend of mine introduced me to the world of rum and the ''Plantation XO 20th Anniversary'' was the first rum i had, and I'm glad It was.
The aroma is soft with hints of banana, vanilla and coconut.
The flavor is quite sweet but in a pleasant way. Notes of banana, coconut, caramel and vanilla! Overall a very nice rum.
Great sipper.
Very smooth
Little to no burn
Great taste will on your tongue and a lovely lingering flavor

I really wanted to like this. I’ve never paid so much for a bottle of rum and it pains me that this was such a let down. This basically tastes like a bottle of whiskey with notes of brandy and a little bit of rum. Now I know that this was aged with both used whiskey and cognac barrels but to the extent of the taste of whiskey that this tastes is too much. It really makes me wonder why this rum gets such praise. I bought so I could taste rum with notes of whiskey and cognac not the other way around. It seems that in order for a rum to be “good” it has to taste like whiskey which is counterintuitive to me since it is after all rum. Don’t get me wrong I like whiskey but if I had a choice between a lower priced whiskey and this I’d go with the whiskey every time, simply because it would taste better. Overall if you want a complex whiskey tasting rum with hints of cognac and have money to burn then sure waste it on this, however if you’d like a rum that tastes like rum I’d look elsewhere.
Best rum I've ever tasted so far. Smooth and delicious with a slight sweetness. Truly a great rum!
Really good bottle of rum from the Barbados, i enjoyed very much, with fine flavors, still easy to drink and really nice after flavors.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.

World class. I’d put this up against any rum in the world, any price, in a blind tasting.
