Plantation XO Barbados 20th Anniversary

Today I'm going to go away from the whole food thing and go to one of the other things I like in life and that's a good drink. I'm a single malt kind of guy, but this rum is absolutely amazing and both run or whiskey lovers can enjoy. It's a rum that is aged in oak barrels which gives it a spectacular taste.

Plantation XO Barbados Bottling Note

A superb-looking decanter bottle of XO rum from Barbados, aged in bourbon barrels before being shipped to France for a secondary maturation in Cognac Casks from the Ferrand house... The result was awarded 94 points from the Beverage Testing Institute.

Taste

Nose: Hints of spicy oak on the nose, with guava, a little desiccated coconut and dried banana. Buttery.

Palate: Spiced, creamy palate entry, with sweet vanilla notes and caramel. Oaky spices.

Finish: Caramel. Toasted oak.

A little tip for this would be to get yourself a good whiskey stone. This is a premium drink and should not be ruined by watering it down by the same way you don't water down a good whiskey. 

If you can't find good whiskey stones give me a heads up and I can help you.
