Plantation Extra Old XO 20th Anniversary

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

After a long time again an entry-level classic in the glass. As a starter, I found in very good and extremely pleasing. The sugar ironed everything smooth at the time. Meanwhile, it is less sweet. Instead, an unpleasant alcoholic note. Unspectacular on the nose, unspectacular on the palate, short finish. Still a spectacular bottle. Conclusion, poorly integrated alcohol, very thin and short-lived flavors. Nevertheless, I would still recommend it to any beginner.

Very nice rum, first plantation rum i have tasted en really trilled about it. Sweet en long tasting with notes of pineapple and coconut. Really tropical but still very complex

7,8:On the nose, it's the toasted (or even fried) coconut that immediately comes to the fore, and is increasingly present! Vanilla, baking spices and orange add to this rum's gourmet character. 8:On the palate, it's also greedy and soft (without being too sweet). It's the vanilla that takes center stage here, relegating the coconut to second place. The texture of this rum is also gourmand. 7,8:The finish is dominated by coconut, and not just a little. There's also the sensation of something fatty and unctuous, some drieness....

Actually quite tasty. Alcohol well integrated. Exactly my taste

Very sweet nose with vanilla, coconut, caramel and discreet woodiness. A hint of cinnamon. On the palate, vanilla explodes. Caramel follows. Flambéed banana, woody notes add a bit of bitterness, not unpleasant given the sweetness of the rum. It lacks length and power, but it's a release that may appeal to many novices. Edit: the 2nd test was less convincing.

Might be the 5th time I'm tasting this, but now I got around to put in some words. A generally likable and easy to get rum. Vanilla, coconut and dried fruits on the nose, and notes of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon and dried fruits. Would pair it with dessert these days

This rum always goes... a sweetened classic for beginners. On the nose a lot of caramel, cream toffee and coconut with banana. In addition, but also wood and glue, which, however, quickly evaporates. In the mouth pleasantly mild with subtle sweetness. Again tropical fruits, caramel and sugar. Certainly a good entry-level rum, if not one of the better ones, since it is still okay in terms of price and dosage. However, there are already good unsweetened rums for the price.

Très bon rhum de transition pour passer du "spicy" au rhum. C est très doux et rond au nez comme en bouche. La dégustation est facile avec des arômes évidents et plutôt unanimes. Il fait partie des classiques pour faire découvrir le rhum.

A light nose may be too subtle. The palate is a treat: a caramelized chocolate banana gingerbread and vanilla but light, and a warm but too short finish.

A good rum for the price. But for my taste, too much added sugar to clearly feel the different flavors. All roundness. But the aromas are masked. A rum for beginners.

A good rum for beginners. Smells really delicious, tastes very sweet, only brings a little flavor variety, as the sugar overlays a lot. But the sugar makes the rum very round. Despite or because of the sweetness, it often ends up in my glass. But too sweet for professionals.

I expected more. In the end, an average rum.

Hodně decentní až nevýrazná vůně. Strašně dlouho jsem XO neměl, že jsem zapomněl jak vlastně chutná. Rozhodně bych čekal více sladkosti, takže za mě milé překvapení. Moc příjemný rum pro začátečníky nebo nenáročné popíjení. Šíleně velký špunt😀

Auch einer meiner ersten Rums. Muss aber zugeben, dass ich diesen Rum Neulingen auch gerne empfehlen. Für mich ein guter Einstiegsrum. Edit: als Mixer für den Sommer ganz o.k. für den Besuch. Ich bevorzuge mittlerweile härtere Geschosse für einen CubaLibre.
