Plantation - XO Barbados 20th Anniversary Rum 70cl, 40% ABV

Product Information

Láhev se snaží být efektní a reprezentativní, ale při pohledu na ni víte, že je to jen předstírání. Zlatohnědá barva s mírnou hloubkou, ve sklenici základní rum. Ovocná sladká vůně s banánem a meruňkou, květinovými tóny a vanilkou. Velmi sladké a husté v ústech s trochou alkoholu na začátku, karamelem a melasou. Potom následuje několik tónů sudu a kůže, které přetrvávají v dřevitém a suchém závěru. Skromná dochuť se dřevem, rzí a kovem. Tento rum není špatný, ale chybí mu komplexnost…“ Na Heurece většinou jen stručné ale mimořádně pozitivní recenze: Takto rumy z Barbadosu (a dalších karibských zemí), které tam několik let zrají v sudech po bourbonu směřují do Francie a kde pokračují ve zrání v dubových sudech po koňaku Pierre Ferrand XO Grande Champagne. V současnosti společnost vlastní i známou barbadoskou destilérku West Indies Rum Distillery, kde se kromě rumů Plantation rodí i Bumbu, či Dos Maderas rum. Výroba Plantation XO 20th Anniversary My last sentence was meant to… scare people. The world is filled with ersatz products inspired(?) by more quality and integrity filled products. If people want to enjoy Barbados rum now, as Foursquare is fighting to keep, they should be aware of this. Vote with their wallet I guess. Nice to know another person who agrees with me. I don’t mind the existence of sweetened rum but the brands should just be vocal about their products being sweetened as there are labeling issues that prevent “no sugar” or “sweetened” being put on the label. That’s the point there. Nobody is stopping them from making what they want. But they want to use the Barbados rum name to make some of their rum more prestigious. They can still sell their product as rum but not as Barbados rum.

Vyvážená sladká chuť Plantation XO 20th Anniversary patří mezi nejvyhledávanější vůbec. Jistě, je třeba počítat s tím, že se chce zalíbit co největšímu publiku, ale v konečném důsledku to určitě není nic zavrženíhodné (podobnou filozofii razí i další známé značky jako Don Papa, Zacapa, Diplomático, Bumbu rum a mnohé další). Initially sweet but mellows to a more spicy, leathery taste. Could be a nice match with dessert as it's so sweet. Over a decade later, we are still very proud of this rum as it continues to receive praises and top awards. THE JOURNEY Nose: Calves leather and caramel. Hints of cinnamon and dried coconut, a little vanilla too. Dried banana develops... Despite all the information provided re Barbados rum, the proposed GI and the different approach to rum by Plantation and its parent Maison Ferrand, you end up finishing the review by tarring all Barbados rum with the same brush in the statement: “If this is the future standard of Barbados rum, then I will not buy anymore Barbados rum in the future.” Irrespective of whether Maison Ferrand win or lose (hopefully lose) in their efforts to change the Barbados GI, the other producers are not likely to follow their lead and as such you should very much advise drinkers to try Barbados rum, but to encourage them to look at the rums from Foursquare, Mount Gay and St Nicholas Abbey distilleries.O dvacet let později bylo všechno jinak. Naštěstí, dalo by říct. Díky tomu vznikl rum Plantation 20th Anniversary XO, oslavující 20. výročí tohoto báječného spojení.

Three out of four distilleries want to protect the Barbados GI and the integrity of Barbados rum. Their wish list includes the following: In 1989 Alexander Gabriel discovers Maison Ferrand, one of the oldest spirit brands in the Cognac region. The reputation of the House is indisputable but sales are lagging. An immediate crush grabs hold and Alexandre Gabriel dives in with exuberance to the details and craft of Cognac production. Yes. This is me making a stand against Maison Ferrand. But I am not entirely against them. I find Plantation to be an interesting company. I like that a lot of their base products are bartender friendly. I love their Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum and OFTD as they are great mixers. They can make good unsweetened rum. I have tried a few of them. But I am not a fan of what they want to achieve with the formulation of the Barbados GI. I am not a fan of the changes they want to achieve with the Jamaican GI. I think these kinds of efforts that will ruin the distinct characteristics each country has worked hard for and each countries’ histories are known for. This championing of half-assed and cutting corners of sweetening rum to please the mass market is going against what real and proper rum is striving for. The 1990s see Alexandre Gabriel combing the Caribbean in search of the best rums of the region. Plantation is born: an artisanal range of rums from the great terroirs of the tropics. Fifteen years of dedicated rum-making later, in 2012, Alexandre is awarded Master Rum Blender of the Year at the Golden Rum Barrel Awards and was named Distiller of the Year by The American Distilling Institute. Plantation XO 20th Anniversary je vlajková loď značky, ale pokud chcete dál cestovat světem karibských rumů nevynechejte ani ostatní rumy Plantation.John, great piece and I’m totally in agreement with your angle. I’ve enjoyed rum for some years now but have only begun my forays into more premium offerings. After initially being wowed by the Plantation XO I came across the documentation of their dosage practices and felt cheated – how much of what I tasted was the sugar and how much the quality of the production practices and aging? What makes this more egregious is that Maison Ferrand (which makes some delicious cognac, to show I’m not too biased) is forbidden in its cognac production from chaptalization, or adding sugar. What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander. A Plantation XO díjnyertes és különleges minőségű darab Barbadosról. Az italt barbadosi lepárló hagyományokkal készítik, melyet francia érlelő technikával vegyítenek. Az eredmény egy világszínvonalú, kézi gyártású, prémium rum páratlan kivitelezésű, gyűjteménybe illő üvegben. Lágy, kifinomult íz világa és tökéletes minősége önmagában való fogyasztását is élményként biztosítja. Kiváló ajándék is lehet. To make a perfect product even better - ther is the bottle. It is extremely heavy, has a nice straw-binding and a beautiful wooden cap. Just by looking at the bottle you see the difference between high quality and the results even more expensive products can not reach. Výnimočný vyzretý rum Plantation XO 20th Anniversary vznikol pri príležitosti dvadsiateho výročia pôsobenia Alexandra Gabriela v jeho materskej destilérke - Maison Ferrand. Unikátna zmes rumov starých od 10 do 25 rokov pochádzajúcich z Barbadosu dokonale vystihuje atmosféru tohto nádherného ostrova. I recall hearing the words “there is power in a name”. I don’t remember when and where I heard this. But I’m very sure this rings true in the liquor world. A liquor brand may not be recognized by a consumer. But a liquor’s provenance will automatically communicate its prestige and quality.

Tropical ageing : 8 -15 years. The rums are chosen for their struture with aromatic characteristics suited for intensive oak ageing. Barbancourt is more of an enigma to me. The impression I get from more knowledgeable and usually older rum geeks is it’s past its golden days. They changed their production process which hurt the quality. It used to enjoy being the only Haitian rum in the market. But after Luca Gargano started bottling and selling Clairin from various producers, Clairin started taking the spotlight. Although Clairin is more of the spirit of Haiti and not Haitian rum.

The taste buds is meet with the initial sweetness followed with some vanilla and a bit of cask notes. The addition of sugar syrup and flavorings is prohibited. However, caramel coloring under strict guidelines will be allowed for consistency. Travel follows passion and soon Alexandre Gabriel is creating a dedicated distribution network of equally passionate partners. He builds on his values and vision for the House. Twenty years later, most of his founding team are still together. Cpt Morgan and Bacardi have a place in the market, like the college crowd who should go through the drinking of poor quality booze when they’re young. But brands like Zacapa don’t deserve to be among the premium rums. We don’t see sweetened and fake age statement American and Scotch whisky after all. Plantation Single Cask rums are limited releases of double-aged Haute Couturerums. All Plantation rums mature in a two-stage ageing process, beginning in the tropics where they age in bourbon casks, and then at the Château de Bonbonnet in France to mature in Ferrand barrels. Plantation Single Cask rums then benefit from further maturation in carefully selected beer, wine or spirit casks, each selected to enhance the rum's unique characteristics. Every Single Cask rum takes its own ageing path to greatness, and each bottle is personalized and numbered. Only a few barrels of these unique reserve rums are bottled annually, making them a prize for collectors. the TERROIRS OF RUM
