Plantation XO 20th Anniversary Rum 700mL

Plantation Extra Old 20th Anniversary Rum 700ml 40% ABV

The Plantation Extra Old 20th Anniversary Rum is part of the plantation series -- the brainchild of Alexandre Gabriel, President of the famous Cognac Ferrand. It is worth looking at the process used to make this double aged spirit. As with whisky or cognac, the skill of the distiller is paramount in the final quality of the rum. It is the artisan's art or skill that turns the raw product (sugar cane or molasses in the case of rum) into the final product. The rum is then aged for several years in the humid climate of the Caribbean before the next phase, which is the shipping of the rum to France for a final ageing process in small French oak casks. This step is one of the most unique in the industry and the reason for the unique full-bodied and smooth taste. Cognac Ferrand has been using this method to create the finest aged rum for over 20 years. The Plantation Extra Old 20th Anniversary Rum was released in 2009 to celebrate this history as well as Gabriel's 20th anniversary at Cognac Ferrand.
