The Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Barbados Rum is an extraordinary blend of aged rum varieties hailing from the sun-kissed island of Barbados. This meticulously crafted spirit undergoes a final refinement process in France, showcasing a perfect collaboration between Caribbean and French distillers. The result is a smooth, fruity, and full-bodied rum that stands unparalleled in its class. Crafted from traditional molasses rum, this limited edition bottle comes in a 350ml format and represents the epitome of high-quality, artisanal distillation. Using both pot still and column still methods, the rum is distilled from molasses and then aged for 8 to 15 years in white oak barrels under tropical conditions. Following this, it is transported to Europe for an additional aging period of 2 to 10 years in American bourbon and French cognac barrels. This exquisite rum is a tribute to Alexandre Gabriel, who has dedicated 20 years as Master Blender, infusing his expertise both as a French cognac producer and an independent Caribbean rum bottler. Gabriel has crafted a true masterpiece, making this rum a fitting homage to his two decades of dedication. Upon opening, the Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Barbados Rum greets you with a bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, including mango, coconut, vanilla, honey, and oak. The taste profile is rich and creamy, offering notes of mango, coconut, vanilla, honey, and a touch of spice. The finish is long-lasting and balanced, featuring creamy and spicy undertones with hints of vanilla and oak. In conclusion, the Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Barbados Rum is a luxury spirit perfect for special occasions. Its intricate blend of flavors and aromas makes it a standout in the world of rum, a must-try for any serious spirit enthusiast.
