Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Rum Plantation 20th Anniversary Extra Old is my favorite

Stumbled upon this one by accident. Very easy sipping rum. It’s a little sweeter than most.
The label might lead you to think it’s a 20 yr old rum, but that’s not the case.

I let it air and then got hit with ethanol on the nose. There is something like chocolate in the background but the ethanol takes over. On the palate I got fruit and woody caramel, but the burn is lasting.
Those were my first thoughts upon opening this rum. I have since come to appreciate it and have to say I enjoy sipping it. I feel that once oxygen gets to it there is a mellowing of the alcohol and the smooth sweetness comes out.

Not as dark as other dark aged rums but it is a beautiful easy sipper ...nice notes of banana semi sweet pineapple vanilla & other tropical fruits...worth every cent. I would highly recommend anyone to buy this bottle

Feiner Rum , aber etwas zu süß für meinen Geschmack.

Trotzdem , gute Qualität.

Fine rum, but a little too sweet for my taste.

Nevertheless, good quality.

Very easy to sip. A well balanced, top rum with vanilla notes.

Very smooth, no harsh, vanilla.Maybe annoying with time? Anyway very pleasant and easy sipper.Cheap despite quality

Know there’s a lot of haters out there but I’m not one of them. Can be a little harsh at first but smooths out just fine with a pleasant aftertaste. Sipped it neat. Maybe once I’m further into my run journey I’ll discover better ones but that doesn’t detract from the enjoyment

Aroma: the aroma itself is quite sweet, I noticed vanilla, caramel and lot of coconut (coconut is really dominant here).

Taste: pretty similar to aroma, I noticed vanilla, I think little bit of cocoa and again that coconut.

Overall: For me, this Plantation, or as I like to call them "Plantážník", was the first step into the world of rum. I think it is very good rum to start your personal RUM journey. I think this rum is must have, must try rum for, well anybody who want to step into this world. At a price around 45-50€, in my country, is really good deal (good as a gift too).

old fashioned with tiki bitters. Very, very smooth
