To honor Alexandre Gabriel’s 20th anniversary as Master Blender, they created Plantation XO 20th Anniversary using a blend of quintessential extra-old rums from Barbados. Over a decade later, they are still very proud of this rum as it continues to receive praises and top awards. First aged in bourbon casks in Barbados for many years, this rum is then sailed across the ocean in barrels to the southwest of France to be further matured in small Ferrand French oak casks. This centuries-old “double ageing“ process imparts incredible smoothness and complexity. It unveils a sophisticated palate of chocolate, vanilla, ripe banana, roasted coconut and a hint of fresh mango notes. With a remarkably long finish, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is truly a rum to savor.
