Plantation XO 20th Anniversary XO Rum
Extra Old Rum | Barbados & France (Maison Ferrand) | Aged 8–15 Years in Bourbon Casks (Barbados) + Up to 10 Years in French Oak (France) | 40% ABV (80 Proof)
Process & Profile
Plantation XO 20th Anniversary XO Rum was created to celebrate Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel’s 20 years of craft and innovation. This expression is double-aged—first in tropical bourbon casks in Barbados for 8 to 15 years, then transferred to ex-Ferrand French oak casks in southwest France for up to 10 years of continental maturation. The result is a sophisticated blend that combines Caribbean warmth with European elegance.
