INFO: Planteray (formerly Plantation) XO 20th Anniversary is a blend of Barbadian rums aged between 12 and 20 years, not a 20-year-old single-vintage spirit. It features a double-aging process, initially maturing in tropical bourbon casks in Barbados, followed by aging in France in Cognac barrels.
Key Details on Age and Production:
Age Range: The blend consists of rums aged for 12–20 years.
Composition: It is a blend of older Barbadian reserves, specifically designed to celebrate Master Blender Alexandre Gabriel’s 20th anniversary with the company.
Aging Process: First, it is aged for several years in Barbados, then further aged in France in Pierre Ferrand cognac barrels for 12 to 18 months.
Flavor Profile: The rum is known for notes of chocolate, vanilla, toasted coconut, and ripe banana.
The “20th Anniversary” name refers to the celebration of the blender’s tenure, not the minimum age of the liquid, though it contains older, premium reserves
