The origins of rum: PLANTERAY Rum explores the largest and most traditional rum terroirs in the world. From the Caribbean, where rum was invented in Barbados in the 17th century, to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, each rum expresses the unique character and identity of its country of origin.
Secrets from Barbados: In the nose, the XO 20th Anniversary unfolds floral notes, accompanied by vanilla and milk chocolate. On the palate, the XO shows itself as a real deliciousness, opening first with cinnamon and then revealing a spicy body that harmonises deliciously balanced with biscuit-like and chocolaty notes combined with hints of honey, butter and coconut.
PLANTATION becomes PLANTERAY: New name, same rum.
Double ripening: XO 20th Anniversary is the result of combining excellent Barbados rum and French know-how. He celebrates the 20th anniversary of cellar master Alexandre Gabriel at PLANTERAY. This blend of very old Barbados rums first matures locally in bourbon barrels before being stored in French oak barrels in southwest France for a few years.
Cocktail art: this extraordinary rum can be enjoyed pure or on ice. It also adds a special touch to classic cocktails, such as the old-fashioned. This rum has been awarded at the most prestigious international tasting competitions and received the gold medal at the Spirits Business Rum and Cachaça Masters 2024, among others. With more than 55 gold medals, it is the most awarded XO rum in the world.
