Planteray XO 20th Anniversary is a celebration of the artistry of master blender Alexandre Gabriel and his two decades at the helm of the brand. Created from a selection of exceptional extra-old Barbadian rums, this luxurious expression showcases the richness of Barbados rum-making combined with French savoir-faire. Since its release, it has become one of the world’s most decorated XO rums, earning more than 55 international awards.

Crafted at the West Indies Rum Distillery in Barbados from molasses, the rum undergoes a long fermentation of three to five days before distillation in both twin column stills and traditional pot stills. The blend is aged in a variety of casks, including bourbon barrels, new white oak and Ferrand Cognac casks, with the latter adding an extra layer of elegance and complexity. This dual maturation process creates a beautifully rounded rum with remarkable depth and balance.

Rich aromas of toasted oak, caramel, dried banana, guava and desiccated coconut lead into a smooth, creamy palate. Layers of vanilla, chocolate, tropical fruit, mango and baking spices unfold across the tongue, supported by gentle oak and hints of Cognac influence. The finish is exceptionally long, warming and indulgent, leaving lingering notes of sweet spice, coconut and toasted oak.

A superb sipping rum, best enjoyed neat or over a single cube of ice. It also pairs beautifully with dark chocolate desserts, crème brûlée, roasted nuts or mature cheeses.
