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.

This rum was included in a tasting set gift I was given and I immediately ran out to buy a bottle.
It is a very nice rum and at the right price point, you can certainly pay a lot more for inferior rums.
It is on the sweeter side (which I like personally), but not overly so and you can taste the layers of complexity. Very smooth and it has a nice rich natural exotic taste, which is lovely
(no a trace of that chemical or manufactured taste you sometimes get with some sweet rums, which can spoil things.)
The bottle presentation is excellent too.
Wow! What a great rum! I bought it in Canada, it's 75$ the bottle, so it's expensive, but worth the price. You can feel a light after burn after each sip, more than other good rums like the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, because I think the Plantation has less sugar. I definetely recommend it.
Intense nose mainly vanilla and caramel. Lets guess a sweet balance, that is confirmed in the mouth. This makes the rhum too heavy and kills any character, class it could have. I am not fan of this kind of rhum, and really perfer dry ones, from french Antilles for example.
This rum is a true masterpiece of distillery. Very sweet but in a strongly pleasant and natural way. Hints of vanilla, some exotic fruit and caramel. If you like rum I'd definitely recommend this rum especially for its rather low price.
Based on others' experiences I approached this bottle with some anticipation. And my first reaction was that it was a little too brandy like for me-I'll admit I reward viscous mouth feel in my ratings. A couple of further tastings has increased my liking for it. I still would rather have Exclusiva or Millonario 15 for a treat, and 2 bottles of the Plantation 5 is more value for money, but this is still a solid 8 for me.
Very nice aroma of coconut and decent vanilla. Pleasant sweetness, smooth, long lasting after taste and no burn. In addition beautiful bottle. It is even better after couple of minutes in your glass.
Une superbe bouteille vous propose un rhum ambré facile d'accès. Nul besoin d'être un connaisseur pour apprécier cette merveille. La saveur dégagée rappelle la banane brûlée, une touche de noix de coco et de chêne. Clairement plus sucrer que le Zacapa 23 ans et le Kirk and Sweeney 23 ans ce qui le rend à mon avis plus facile d'accès pour le néofite. 75$ au Québec et difficile à trouver dans les provinces américaines frontalières. Pas disponible au Duty free. Un 10/10 malgré le prix.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

The box it came in was made of a bit flimsy cardboard but had a nice graphical design. After opening the box, the true beauty of this rum showed itself. The bottle is beautiful with a cork on top that is better looking than any I have ever seen.
When I tried this rum I was blown away by the taste. I'm not even going to give any tasting notes, you should just try this one! It is one of my most expensive rums thus far but this one is definitely worth the price. More so than any other rum I've bought.
Just take the chance and buy it!
