Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum is a landmark expression created to celebrate two decades of Maison Ferrand — an assemblage of fine Barbadian rums aged 12 to 20 years, double-aged first in Barbados and then in Cognac casks originally used for Pierre Ferrand Cognac. Meticulously nurtured by Maison Ferrand's Cellar Master, this extraordinary rum is a wonderful reflection of Barbados itself: tropical, elegant, and deeply complex. Bottled at 40% ABV, it is a rum of rare beauty and exceptional craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Transcendent and ethereal — tropical flora, ripe fruit, marshmallow, vanilla, cocoa, and milk chocolate
• Palate: Cinnamon-like entry, gently sweet — soft molasses, holiday spice cake, rum-flavored chocolates, and sugar cookies with a chewy, warm mid-palate
• Finish: Medium-long, delicate, and mildly sweet with a clean, elegant close

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the double-aging process?

Plantation XO is first aged in its country of origin — Barbados — in traditional casks, then shipped to France where it undergoes a second aging in casks previously used for Pierre Ferrand Cognac. This unique process adds layers of dried fruit, spice, and elegance that are the hallmark of the Plantation style.

What are Pierre Ferrand Cognac casks?

Pierre Ferrand is one of France's most prestigious Cognac houses, also owned by Maison Ferrand. Their used Cognac casks impart subtle notes of dried fruit, floral elegance, and refined oak complexity to the rum during its second aging period.

Why is it called XO?

XO (Extra Old) is a designation borrowed from the Cognac world, indicating a spirit of exceptional age and quality. Plantation XO's 12–20 year age range and double-aging process more than justify this prestigious designation.

How should I enjoy it?

Best enjoyed neat in a snifter or tulip glass to fully appreciate its extraordinary aromatic complexity. A few drops of water can open up additional floral and fruit notes.

Is this a good gift or collector's bottle?

Absolutely — Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is widely regarded as one of the finest aged rums in the world and makes an exceptional gift for rum enthusiasts, collectors, and spirits lovers alike.
