The Plantation Barbados Rum XO 20th Anniversary is a premium rum that meets high expectations with its award-winning quality and sophisticated taste. This exquisite Bajan rum is distilled using both column and pot stills from molasses and is aged for 8-15 years in American oak barrels in its native Barbados. It is then transported to Europe for further aging in both bourbon and cognac barrels for an additional 2-10 years, resulting in a unique and refined flavor profile.
This rum celebrates the 20th anniversary of Alexandre Gabriel as Master Blender for Maison Ferrand, a renowned French company known for its cognac production. Gabriel, also responsible for the high-quality products of the Plantation Rum brand as an independent bottler, has overseen the creation of this limited edition release that showcases his expertise.

On the palate, it reveals tropical fruits like mango and finishes with an elegant and long-lasting aftertaste.

The Barbados XO is one of the oldest releases in the Plantation Rum series.
This rum is an assemblage of the oldest reserves from the house, aged for many years in the Caribbean and then carefully blended by the cellar master at Chateau de Bonbonnet. After blending, the rum is further refined in small French oak barrels for an additional 12-18 months.
