Exotic sugarcane and a big hit of toasted coconut and banana, enhanced by more complex aromas of cocoa, candied orange and cigar box
" A luxury spirit in the true sense of the word, 'XO’ is a term used in Cognac to denote ‘Extra Old’ spirit. Although this term has no legal meaning for rum, in this case it tells us that it is a much older blend than the others produced by Plantation. This rum is ‘double aged’, meaning it is first aged in ex-bourbon casks in Barbados for between 10-12 years, and then aged a second time in 320 litre ex-Grande Champagne Cognac casks in France for 1 year to 18 months. "
Plan-tey-shun XO 20th Anniversary Rum
Plantation Rums are a collection of unique Caribbean treasures. Every barrel is individually sampled and only those that are of exceptional quality, showing traditional characteristics of the area of production, are selected to bear the Plantation name.
Freshly cut sugar cane from the various plantations are pressed to extract the sugar crystals, and the juice is slowly heated to become molasses which can then be fermented. The time of fermentation and methods of distillation vary depending on the distillery and country of origin: pot stills for a round, aromatic rum; and column stills for lighter, more elegant rum.
After distillation, Plantation Rums are aged for a number of years in oak barrels in warm Caribbean cellars and then transported to the cool, ancient cellars of Chateau de Bonbonnet in Cognac. The ageing process is finished more slowly, including a period in Cognac casks, giving them a soft and balanced finish.
