Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

I only started trying different rums since the beginning of this year and I decided to purchase this one after reading many of the reviews here and because the price was reasonable, considering the ratings.
This was (basically) the 4th bottle of rum that I tried and right now I want to buy the entire world's supply of this. I should be giving it a 9 instead of a 10, because there are so many more rums for me to discover, but I have a feeling it will be hard to top this one (since this is still affordable at €54 here). Read some of the 9+ reviews and you know what to expect when you buy this...

There is so much good stuff to type about this rum that I will just end there and go buy some more bottles of this 50 euro rum because it is the best way to spend your money.

Vyborna vec. Na policce s chlastem bude vzdy hodne vysoko. Urcite stoji za ty penize

Like this one. Its sweet but not too much, just right, with a decent little burn. Good one!

Plantation 20th Anniversary je jeden z nejlepších stařených rumů na světě. Dobře známý všem znalcům. Velice jemný, plná chuť tropického ovoce s náznaky vanilky, kokosu a citrusových plodů. Sladký až medový závěr. Na ostrově Barbados se rumy skladují ve starých sudech po bourbonu minimálně 15 let. Poté se transportují do malého městečka Ars v samém srdci regionu Cognac, kde již namíchané zrají další 1 - 2 roky v sudech po nejlepším Cognacu " Pierre Ferrand XO Grande Champagne".

Unikátní produkt, což dokládá asi největší ocenění "San Francisco World Spirit competition Gold - 2011 " - obdoba Oscaru pro destiláty.

Great easy sipping experience - no need to let it breath, it's soft and sweet and full of lovely aromas from the beginning. But it's a big complex easy, suitable if you want to talk someone into rum as well as for r(u)um lovers. Pure comforting quality! The twin sister of Zacapa 23.

Golden warm sweetness with ripe fruit on the nose mixed with caramel and raisin flavors.
Apricot and a hint of tobacco makes this a most enjoyable sipper

I dont have much experience with rum or even drinking in general but this was delicious.It seemed like the flavour lasted longer than anything I had previously drank. I noted 3 different distinct flavours that transitioned from one another. Im not experienced enough to say what those flavours are. Reminded me of a smoother Barbados 5-year with more complexity and a longer flavour. I apologize if that makes no sense.

Tasty rum for nearly every day.
Coconut and creamy.

you can tell by its taste and smell it IS a high quality rum, although for me the taste was a bit dull, nothing interesting and dont get me wrong - it was not so well balanced, just.. I dont know... was expecting much much more by its price and looks and opinions of my friends on this, you have to try it for sure, but next time I will get another bottle...
