QUINTESSENTIAL CARIBBEAN
To honour Alexandre Gabriel’s 20th anniversary as Master Blender, we created Plantation XO 20th Anniversary using a blend of quintessential extra-old rums from Barbados.
Over a decade later, we are still very proud of this rum as it continues to receive praises and top awards.
THE JOURNEY
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 casks.
This centuries-old “double ageing“ process imparts incredible smoothness and complexity. It unveils a sophisticated palette 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 savour.

TASTING NOTES
Nose: The stunning floral/fruity opening aroma is transcendent, then releases the fragrance of vanilla, cocoa and milk chocolate.
Palate: The delightful mango notes lend evidence to its advanced age, a result of long maturation in French oak cask.

My colleague loves, among others, Hazy Ales. As his farewell gift I decided to buy, online, a selection of beers from the Beer Library.
Online purchasing was a breeze with the ability to select products by style with current stock levels and quantity of purchase options in some cases.
I was emailed that the collection of my dozen or so beers was available after only a couple of hours. All were chilled when collected.
All in all a great experience for online purchase and collection
