Plantation XO 20th Anniversary (700 mL)
97 bod. - Ultimate Spirits Challenge
Prvo odležavao u bačvama od burbona na Barbadosu dugi niz godina, ovaj rum zatim plovi preko okeana u bačvama na jugozapadu Francuske u kojem će dalje sazrijevati u malim bačvama od francuskog hrasta Ferrand Cognac. Ovaj viševjekovni postupak „dvostrukog starenja“ daje nevjerovatnu glatkoću i složenost.
Nos: zapanjujuća cvjetno-voćna aroma koja se otvara je transcendentna, a zatim pušta miris vanile, kakaa i mliječne čokolade.
Nepca: sofisticirano nepce od čokolade, vanile, zrele banane, prženog kokosa i dašak svježih nota manga. Sa izuzetno dugim završetkom, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary, zaista je rum za uživanje.

First aged in bourbon casks in Barbados for many years, this rum is then sailed across the ocean in barrels to the southwest of France to be further matured in small Ferrand French oak Cognac casks. This centuries-old “double ageing“ process imparts incredible smoothness and complexity.
Nose: The stunning floral/fruity opening aroma is transcendent, then releases fragrance of vanilla, cocoa and milk chocolate.
Palate: A sophisticated palate of chocolate, vanilla, ripe banana, roasted coconut and a hint of fresh mango notes. With a remarkably long finish, Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is truly a rum to savor.
