About Plantation Barbados Rum Xo 20Th Anniversary-Use Code 942851
Plantation Barbados XO 20th Anniversary Rum is a premium XO rum from Barbados, produced by Maison Ferrand USA, with 40% ABV and available in 750ml bottles at $49.80—use code 942851 for potential savings. What makes it special is the unique double aging process: 8-15 years in tropical bourbon casks in Barbados, followed by up to 10 years in ex-Ferrand Cognac casks in France, creating exceptional depth with minimal cane sugar caramel (<0.1%). It's ideal for rum enthusiasts seeking a smooth, versatile sipper neat, on rocks, or in cocktails like Old Fashioned. In its category, it stands out with over 55 gold medals, blending fruity sweetness and spice against some critiques of heavy coconut and added sweetness, offering great value compared to pricier XO rums while rivaling top Barbados blends in complexity.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The nose opens with a stunning bouquet of floral and fruity aromas, vanilla, cocoa, milk chocolate, and toasted coconut shavings. Honey, caramel, ripe bananas, and soft fruits like raisins and apples emerge, sometimes with a medicinal quinine hint or saccharin sweetness. Massive coconut and vanilla dominate, occasionally masking oak and spice.
👅 Palate
Smooth and chewy with rich chocolate, vanilla, ripe banana, roasted coconut, hazelnut, and cinnamon. Fruity notes of mango, peaches, sugar cane sap, and white chocolate blend with molasses and holiday spices, though some find it overly sweet with candy floss and marshmallow. Butterscotch, candied orange peel, and light oak provide balance in a medium-bodied feel.
✨ Finish
Gently sweet and warm with lingering spiced vanilla, caramel, honey, raisins, and subtle woodiness. Medium to long, it avoids cloying but can fade with a placid, dampened sweetness.
