Planteray PXXO 20th Anniversary Rum

Oh man, the last rum for today. This Planteray is an average Planteray. The nose is chocolate, vanilla and spicy, there's also some coconut. Then on the palate, lots of (dark) chocolate, some spice and sherry. spice and sherry.

Only sherry notes in here. This Is not a rum i'll ever consider drinking again

A híres (kedvenc XO) sherry hordóban érlelve. Illatra egyből érezni azt az enyhén édeskés illatot ízre mégsem borul át az édes kategóriába. Enyhén olajosabb mint az XO és ott van az a kis sherry íz a nyelved hegyén de csak pont annyira hogy ne legyen hivalkodó. Remek az arány, remek az ízvilág de ezt az XO nal már megszokta az ember, ez pedig tesz rá egy kis habot a tetejére hogy még csintalanabb legyen. Nekem egy szint az XO-val nem tudnék választani :)

Horrid. Next time I shall save myself the trouble (as well as the expense) by drinking my wife’s perfume and suntan lotion.

Komplexer als der XO. Weniger Kokos, mehr Wein.

@BCB Berlin: Delicious upgrade to the normal XO. Sherry influence noticeable but not too dominant, very tasty easy sipper to get into the rum world with finishes. You can definitely do it! I personally also like it better than the normal plantation XO.

A bit in the same vein as the first 20-year plantation version. I find that the coconut taste and smell are much more pronounced, it's even surprising, like an addition... it's round and easy to drink. perfect for a beginner. On the palate, and especially at the end, there's a little spicy bitterness.

A coconut bomb as it is written in the book. Lots of vanilla and lots of coconut. Unfortunately a little too sweet and too little alcohol for me. But very suitable for beginners. Much more exciting compared to the xo

I tasted this as part of a comparison between the XO and PXXO, and this rum truly stands above the original version. On first sniff, it instantly reminds me of the plum cake with sugar topping that my grandma used to make, evoking a warm, nostalgic feel. The taste pleasantly surprises with slightly tart fruit notes, adding an unexpected, but welcomed layer to the sweetness. The finish lingers for quite short time, but that is understandable considering the ABV. I got some dried fruits, vanilla and old wood, together with an omnipresent layer of baking spices. It’s definitely a lovely upgrade over the classic XO, and while I’m usually more into absolutely different kind of rums, this PXXO brings a refreshing, sweet twist amidst all the cask strength monsters I’ve been sipping lately. A delightful change of pace, haha!

Notes from Whisky Live Paris 2024 - to be reviewed and expanded upon. I've been told "have you tried it? it's great" several times, so I went and tasted it, even though I was skeptical. XO is already a rum I don't drink much anymore, so this cask won't lighten it up, on the contrary. There are nice notes of mango and coconut, but it's too sweet for me. However, as a gift for beginners++, then yes!

Leckerer Twist vom klassischen Plantation XO. Angenehmer, nicht übertriebener Sherry-Einfluss.

Ein schönes Produkt, auch wenn es in dieser Kategorie noch viele andere gibt. Man riecht sofort den PX Sherry raus, dazu Kokosnuss und Vanille. Im Geschmack finde ich den Sherry dominant, allerdings hat er einen interessanten Twist mit der Kokosnuss. Ich empfinde ihn nicht als Upgrade zum Planteray XO. Dafür ist mir der Unterschied zwischen den beiden zu groß. Beide stehen individuell für sich.

Erinnert schon im Geruch an Kirsche mit Schokolade, und für mich auch Kokos (meine Partnerin riecht das überhaupt nicht) sehr mild und ausgewogen. Auch am Gaumen mild und weich, dabei vollmundig. Intensive Früchte, Schokolade. Langer Abgang. Sehr schönes Produkt

Parfait pour les périodes de Noël (Très épicé/ pain d épice /cannelle

Tilsæt lidt karamel farve.
