About this deal

A Plantation XO díjnyertes és különleges minőségű darab Barbadosról. Az italt barbadosi lepárló hagyományokkal készítik, melyet francia érlelő technikával vegyítenek. Az eredmény egy világszínvonalú, kézi gyártású, prémium rum páratlan kivitelezésű, gyűjteménybe illő üvegben. Lágy, kifinomult íz világa és tökéletes minősége önmagában való fogyasztását is élményként biztosítja. Kiváló ajándék is lehet. Distilled in Fiji from fermented sugar cane, Plantation Isle of Fiji is aged in Fiji for 2-3 years in casks formerly used for bourbon before being re-casked in French oak casks and aged for a further year in the Cognac region of France. This brand is essentially Plantation’s slightly more approachable (but unsweetened) take on the higher-ester, funkier Jamaican rum that is so beloved by the rum community, and increasingly being discovered by the average consumer. This is a 100% pot still blend of rums from Jamaica’s Clarendon and Long Pond distilleries, coming from John Dore and Vendome pot stills, lightly aged for 1-3 years tropically and then married for 1 years in France in Ferrand casks previously used to mature cognac. In this way, Plantation puts their signature spin on this Jamaican rum, although in this case there’s no dosage, which is what makes this one “special dry.” Fans of Jamaican “funk” should know that this one is modestly estery, at 156 g/hL AA.

In the mouth you get a sweet taste of caramel, vanilla and spices. A little hint of cask is there too.

On the nose it's very bready and buttery, there's a pastry like aroma, alongside bananas and maple syrup. Very sweet, tropical fruitiness along with a yeasty, bready sensation. Very nice indeed. Vďaka tomuto dlhodobému procesu získa Plantation 20th svoje jedinečné vlastnosti, ktoré dokážu oceniť úplní začiatočníci, ako aj pokročilí rumoví vychutnávači. Ak spoznávate svet rumu, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary je povinnosť ochutnať.

A smooth and long finish of toffee, tobacco, woody notes Summary Plantation představuje to nejlepší z rumové produkce Karibiku. Alexandre Gabriel, zakladatel značky, se vyzná ve skvělém pití. Nejprve vzkřísil prodeje luxusního koňaku Pierre Ferrandapak se začal porozhlížet, kde by mohl uplatnit použité sudy. Byla by přece škoda je nechat ležet. Tak dlouho hledal výrobce rumu, kteří by je využili pro zrání svých lahůdek, až se do karibského rumu a jeho chuťové bohatosti sám zamiloval. Tak vznikly rumy Plantation. Yes, I admit that was a mistake on my part. But I did cover my ass by saying I am making a stand against MF. It should already hint I am not for the GI they want.

Plantation Rum Is Best? We Review 8 | Drinks Geek Which Plantation Rum Is Best? We Review 8 | Drinks Geek

The undisputed birthplace of rum, Barbados is an island dotted with windmills in ruins once used for grinding sugar cane to extract the juice. Drinks Geek is run by Andrew & Ingrid, two drinks enthusiasts with 30 years of experience and an all-consuming passion for both fragrance and flavour. Co se týče vizuálu, tak ten ozvláštňují vlákna třtiny či spíše nějaká forma lýka, nechybí zlaté logo a ve středu etikety v kroužku výrazné označení „XO“. Kdysi tam byla dvacetka, ale svádělo to k myšlence, že se jedná o dvacetiletý ročníkový rum, takže výrobci ji velmi rozumně přemístili pod zmíněný kroužek. Trochu zklamáním je umělý korek. No co už.

Plantation XO 20th Anniversary – review

Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. I find the diversity fascinating, exuberating. The joy of tasting the best rums right out of the still from one island to the next is blissful. The degrees of fermentation and distillation are always unique. And this is where I saw an opportunity ! I wondered (and could taste) what my team and I could do with such varying distillations. At that moment I knew in my heart that we could perfect the methods of aging in wood casks that we knew so well from producing Cognac. Voila, the idea for Plantation is launched.” For a more luxurious sipping experience, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary offers a complex and rich taste at a very reasonable price. As I mentioned previously, XO 20th Anniversary also makes a great rum and coke; maybe not what they had in mind, but trust me, it’s fantastic. Very rich and smooth in the mouth, almost creamy. There's a little spicy tingle on the tongue with a deep vanilla sweetness. A cinnamon topped creme brulee springs to mind. Three out of four distilleries want to protect the Barbados GI and the integrity of Barbados rum. Their wish list includes the following:
