Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

Presentation, smell, taste, everything about this rum screams "class".
Not very sweet, very complex and aromatic, smooth, easy to drink.
Top sipper, ofc to be drank neat or cooled.

Tropical ageing : 8 -15 years. The rums are chosen for their struture with aromatic characteristics suited for intensive oak ageing.
Continental ageing : 2-10 years. A blend of very old rums, finished in many different types of casks ranging from new white oak to Bourbon casks as well as Ferrand casks, each with different level of toasting.
The above excerpts are from official instructions.
Not particularly brilliant, but the overall performance is not bad, lacking a sense of hierarchy

This is one of the first sipping rums I tried, it is often a favorite when I host a rum tasting night

Sweet present!! Tastes like a real Carribian rhum should taste!

Starting with its appearance in a lovely bottle, this rum doesn't let you down. Just enough sweetness to appeal to the masses as a great sipper but not too sweet to feel this a dessert!
The flavors of vanilla and coconut come through in a smooth subtle way. It might be my imagination, as I'm no sommelier, but the taste from the bourbon casks peeps through.

Very smooth. Enjoyed well by the ladies. Straight up , it was superb!

While you can taste added sweetness the great quality of rum shines through the most. Vanillia, Carmel! Smooth

Bananas foster on the nose. Pineapple and coconut on the palate but much better than a pina colada. Slightly sweet but not overly so. Could drink all day.

Ùžasná jantarová barva, chut jemná po vanilce, ovocná vune a koncovka je sladká. Opravdu doporučuji.

We were surprised by this one. It gets very high ratings but we found it to be light in flavor or personality and so so high in alcohol fumes! It’s intense, not smooth with quite a bite. Made into a rum old fashioned it was just ok.
