Plantation Extra Old XO 20th Anniversary

 Delicious and a lot of tropical fruit. Vanilla is coming through in this one and it sticks for a while. A super rum to sit and sip with your friends. A very good beginners rum in my mind,

 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.

 Actually quite tasty. Alcohol well integrated. Exactly my taste

 Overall a too sweet and a too dominant coconut aroma and taste in my opinion. Kept it in my Rum bar just because my wife liked it, but nowadays she has left the over sweetened rums for more pure rum just like me.

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

 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.

 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

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

 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....

 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.

 A veritable rheumatic monument, this Plantation is one of those rums we all go through at some point in our lives. We find the typical Barbados profile with vanilla, caramel, banana, coconut, chocolate and sweet spices (cinnamon) that give it a light, gourmet feel. The attack on the palate is very round, with a marked sweetness of brown sugar, caramel and pastry notes of toffee. Banana, coconut, spices (vanilla) and chocolate form the structure of this easily accessible rum. Dilution and the addition of sugar significantly attenuate the alcohol. The finish is a continuation of the nose and mouth, with caramel, sugar, slightly spicy wood, exotic fruits (banana and coconut) and a good dose of chocolate and vanilla. It's a good rum for beginners to discover and decipher the aromas in a 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😀

 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.

 Mhhh I try and try and still can't find the high score for this rum. Yes, it doesn't hurt, it has a concise sweetness, but it lacks body and complexity. I'm out, leaving it in the cupboard for nice visitors who can't yet imagine that rum can be fantastic. It may be a door opener for them...

 I understand the success but too saucy for my taste. Part of the must have for those who start the rum (ron 😈)
