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.

The smell is pure roasted coconut with riped tropical fruits. The taste is perfectly balanced between the sweetness of the vanilla/banana flavours and the roasted coconut. On the long run the wooden chocolate notes strike but is well equilibrated with the sweetness.
An overall really good and balanced rhum with the perfect amount of generosity.
If you like rum, you will like this. Find it and add it to your shelf. It is worth it.
Esperaba más, puede que por lo que he tardado en hacerme con él, no está nada mal y el 8 me parece poco, no es un ron al uso, tampoco una mariconada con mucho azucar se notan los 40 grados pero como todo lo que toca monsieur Ferrand está bueno pero pierde carácter, tal vez demasiada barrica de coñac y es que con cada ron que pruebo me vuelvo más purista me gusta el sabor del ron a secas, de todas manera le daría más pero un 9 me parece excesivo y el precio al que lo he conseguido, 29,95€ no es un regalo pero he comprado cosas más caras peores,nunca lo mezclaría pero sé que en este mundo hay de todo.
Love the balance and elegance from this Plantation Rum. From Barbados it is the perfect mixed of vanilla-coconut (from a first ageing in Barbados) and the spice and clove notes (from the second ageing in Cognac cask in France). I like all the Plantation rum range but this one is my fav !
V poradí tretí testovaný Plantation. Fľaša je úplná topka - veľká, ťažká, gravírovaná, opletaná, už sama osebe vyzerá ako pirát ;). Farba krásna medovo-mahagónová, vôňa jemná, funguje ako kvalitný teaser. Chuťovo veľmi jemný - karamel, med, vanilka, oriešky, jemné citrusy...každý si tu nájde, čo potrebuje. Rum je vyvážený, tónovo veľmi podobný lacnejšiemu súrodencovi Barbados 5Y. Až pri dojazde je zrejmé, že XO zrelo dlhšie, do popredia sa viac dostáva dubová chuť, za mňa by však mohla byť trochu intenzívnejšia. Navyše má hustejšiu konzistenciu, subjektívne koncentrovanejšiu arómu a o niečo menej cukru. Pridaná hodnota oproti Barbadosu tu teda je, hodnotím silnou sedmičkou, k vyššiemu ratingu by musel byť v chuti trochu komplexnejší a "drevitejší".

My first sipping rum, i hope i'm not spoiled fore ever!
This one is the perfect drink around a campfire with a good cigar
Smooth, complex taste of vanilla, oak, fruits, coconut, bit of chocolate all in long lasting blend. We drunk with family and friends the whole bottle and we had great evening full of happiness and next morning we felt wonderful, maybe a bit tired, I can recommend this rum to everyone!
Very delicious rum, sweet in flavour, one of the smoothest rums.
It tastes pretty much like a coconut liqueur.
"An overly sweet saccharin note which make the rum taste artificial. ."

This is not a real rum. It’s more of a liqueur as it’s packed with sugar and additives. Strong taste of sugar and coconut that overpowers anything related to rum.
If you’re a newbie to rum, you might enjoy but if you’ve been digging in for a while, this has to be avoided at all costs.
