Plantation Extra Old XO 20th Anniversary (Magnum)

This Plantation XO 20th Anniversary is a Barbados pot and column blend from Maison Ferrand, double aged in France and openly using dosage, so it reads as a smooth, sweetened sipper rather than a dry, additive free rum. Presented here in magnum format and bottled at 40%, it is the house's flagship blend.

The sweetening and cognac cask ageing push it toward a rounded, accessible profile dominated by orange and a juicy, fruity character, with a bitter orange note carrying the finish. Honest to note the added sugar shapes the texture and softness, lending a gentle, after dinner ease rather than oak grip or proof. It is built for broad appeal and undemanding enjoyment, the citrus and sweetness leading while the underlying Barbadian distillate stays in a supporting role.
