Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum is made from a blend of the oldest Barbadian reserves of the Ferrand House (between 12 and 20 years). After many years spent in the tropical latitudes of the West Indies, these rums are then taken to the Château de Bonbonnet to be worked on by the cellar master. The blend is then left in small cognac casks for a period of 12 to 18 months. This double ageing system gives Plantation Rum XO 20th Anniversary a great maturity and a nobility of character.
Laurent's tasting note
Its dress is amber.
On the nose, it is the toasted (or even fried) coconut that immediately comes to the fore and is more and more present! Vanilla and orange reinforce the greedy side of this rum.
In the mouth it is also greedy and soft (without being too sweet). It is the vanilla that comes to the fore and relegates the coconut to second place. The texture of this rum is also greedy.
The finish is coconutty and not just a little. There is also the sensation of something fatty and unctuous.
In video
This rum is part of the Discovery pack for sweet rums that we tasted live with Marc Goubert, a specialist in Latin rums, in a video to be found on our Youtube channel.

A good way to start with molasses rums, you have to take your time to taste it and enjoy the evolution of the nose as you taste it

Cocorico, the French touch from Charente has struck again!
Peniche
OK, it's a very good rum, but three times more expensive than the Diplomatico Reserva. Three times better... not sure.
Claire
A delight! I come back to it very often, it's my favourite.
Valentin
Excellent value for money. A sure value.
Olivier
A magnificent "canapé" rum. To be drunk (in moderation) with connoisseur friends...
Graziella
For a slightly higher budget than other very good rums (such as Diplo Reserva Exclusiva) it is really better. I always like to come back to it and it always pleases the people I give it to.
Marie
It's delicious with coconut and caramel. Great value for money.
The package is quick and neat!
