Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

So smooth and flavorful with apple backend. One of the best I have tasted.

Good rum, enjoyable. One I always keep on hand in the cabinet.

Nádherná masivní lahev, dobrý, velmi známý rum, který je ale dle mého názoru spíše přehypovaný. V porovnání s jinými rumy v této cenové hladině spíše neutrální, nijak výrazný.
Třeba o půlku levnější barbados 5y mi chutná více. Jeden z mých prvních rumů, které jsem ochutnal. Určitě se k němu ještě vrátím a třeba hodnocení přehodnotím.

A great rum for the price. Extremely long aftertaste. Definitely a must-try, I'm sure it wouldn't disappoint even the most demanding.

Okay, not my first review - won't be my last. Let's get into it:

1. The package is good, not exceptional but good. The bottle looks great, I personally cut the straw away so I do not lose my grip on the bottle but you do you.

2. The smell, like walking in the caramel-vanilla factory. It's really good and much better than anything Cuban I have had.

3. The taste, well let me explain how I drink it first. So I opened the bottle, poured me-self a shot in a cognac glass (because I shall not be drinking capt'n rum in a crew-glass piece of thumbler filth). Now, I let the rum rest, like a baby, it will rest for 10 minutes. Then I take my sip and I play with the rum in the fore side of the mouth so the sweetness can do it's work on the proper side of the tongue. Then I let it go down the throat. In this fashion you will experience a very mild burn and an after taste of sweet caramel vanilla dripping on the tongue warming it with some alcohol. The taste itself is good and better than anything Cuban I have tasted.

HOW NOT TO DRINK IT:
In a thumbler with ice and drinking it like water. That is just burn-burn and it will taste wrong and I think thats where some bad reviews came from - they just drink it like its lemonade but remember: IT'S RUM FIT FOR A CAPTAIN.

So keep in mind: When you drink this rum, drink it properly, it's a slow-drink. Like you'd be arguing who gets what loot with your quartermaster and navigator.

Nice, but I was expecting a lot more. Not too intense tastes of chocolate, caramel, banana.
I do commend it for a very nice, long finish.
This was close to being a 6, but a bottle is nice to look at.

Very smooth and an awesome sipper. One of my favorites for sure.

This rum is very subtle in its flavor and on the nose. It has a kind of dried apricot and honey-esque sweetness I have not noticed in other rums. I would only ever drink this neat.

One of the best rums I have ever drunk. vanilla, spices, coconut and wood. On the nose it is perfectly balanced. Sweet but not as sweet as Zacapa and other Solera rums

Wonderful rum for a long after-dinner meal with cigars and friends.

Smooth and soft, great value for its price.
Vanilla, caramel, coconut on the nose, and the taste is parallel with it with long aftertaste.
Sweet, but well balanced rum.
