Plantation 20th Anniversary XO Barbados Rum 40% 70cl
- Details
Initially launched in honor of Alexandre Gabriel's 20th year as Master Blender for the Plantation rum brand, Plantation XO is a marriage of 8 to 15 year old rums from the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados - a distillery taht dates back to 1893.
Initially matured in ex-Bourbon casks on the Caribbean island, the spirit was then married for a further 6 months or so in barrels that previously rested Ferrand Cognac - Gabriel is the also the man in charge of this fantastic Cognac house.
This is probably one of the sweetest rum I've come across - to the point where one could almost consider it a liqueur. Now that's no bad thing, as I have a sweet tooth and I REALLY like this, as it's full of sweet banana, mango and golden syrup notes. But if you prefer your rums on the drier and spicier side - say from the likes of Foursquare (also on Barbados) then this might not be for you. It's a great rum for tiki drinks as the sweetness works brilliantly with pineapple juice etc, and it's dangerously easy to drink neat for the same reason!
