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.

Un nez qui m'a failli faire regretter mon achat ! Ca sent l'alcool et le vieux parfum de ma grand mère. Mais une fois en bouche et surtout une fois avaler whhhooooo la magie opère ! Ca reste loooooooongtemps en bouche, ca change quatre fois de note de fin. A boire doucement pour en profiter un maximum !
VΕ―nΔ medu, trochu ovoce, moΕΎnΓ‘ nΓ‘znak kΕ―ΕΎe. ChuΕ₯ je pΕΓjemnΔ sladkΓ‘, trochu dΕeva, trochu citrusΕ―. Dozvuk nenΓ ostrΓ½. PΕΓjemnΔ se pije. Jeden z nejlepΕ‘Γch jakΓ© jsem ochutnal.
strong enough , balanced , complex , a true rum!!
not a simple brew for beginners
the very nice bottle and content make a real gift for connoisseurs
Otroligt mjuk och rund smak Γ₯ goda aromer som fyller gommen, utan tvekan en favorit bland de olika Rom jag smakat. Man ska dock veta att jag uppskattar nΓ€r rom Γ€r lite Γ₯t det sΓΆta hΓ₯llet och det Γ€r defensivt Plantation XO 20th Anniversery.
C'est un bon rhum agrΓ©able Γ boire mais dans lequel il est dur de trouver autre chose que de la vanille et du caramel. Passez votre chemin si vous aimez la complexitΓ©.
The big issue with this rum is it's supposed to be a combination of Barbadian rums but it tastes nothing like any other barbadian rums. Supposedly aged between 12 and 20 years, it tastes like it's been aged 3-5, the fact that there's no real age statement on the bottle but a bright gold 20! and a tiny "th" just screams trickery. It's not even that different to Plantation's 5 year Barbados offering and definitely not worth the price difference. The best thing it has going for it is the beautiful bottle. I know that Plantation's schtick is all about elevage and getting it to France and aging it there but I almost wish they had have kept it in barbados and bottled it there, particularly so they couldn't have added sugar (against the law there). For some reason it seems really watery especially considering how old it's supposed to be. It's nice and if you have friends who don't like rum they'll love this but I wouldn't buy a bottle again.
Rigtig god Rom, kunne godt bruge lidt mere kant = lidt mere alkohol
Smooth but still wire an edge. Absolutely worth drinking
Can enjoy this anytime. Smooth, dark, hints of chocolate and no Afters.

I like this rum very much. Nice color of dark amber. In the nose coconut and vanilla smell. I fall in love with this rum after first sip...notes of coconut,ripe bananas,vanilla and a bit of oak cask. Very smooth and sweet just enough. Perfect!
