The Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum is a premium spirit that boasts a unique double ageing process, resulting in a rum of great maturity and nobility of character. Made from a blend of the oldest Barbadian reserves, aged between 12 and 20 years in the tropical latitudes of the West Indies, this rum undergoes an additional ageing process in small cognac casks at the Chateau de Bonbonnet in France for 12 to 18 months. The result is an exquisite rum that has captivated connoisseurs worldwide.
On the nose, this rum is an olfactory delight, featuring notes of toasted or fried coconut, vanilla, and orange. These aromas contribute to a rich and inviting profile that promises a luxurious tasting experience. Upon tasting, the rum reveals a soft and indulgent palate dominated by prominent vanilla flavors, supported by coconut. The finish is long-lasting and coats the mouth with a satisfying coconutty, fatty texture.
