Box Rum Plantation XO 20th Anniversary

This Rum Planteray XO 20th Anniversary immediately captivates with its amber colour and coppery highlights, heralding a beautiful aromatic richness. The nose is delicate and complex. Warm aromas of vanilla, melted caramel and coconut mingle with more indulgent notes of ripe banana, dried fig and marzipan. As the rum breathes, it reveals subtle hints of blond tobacco, precious wood and sweet spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and pink pepper. The bouquet gains depth, evoking candied fruit and cocoa.

On the palate, the attack is smooth and velvety, almost creamy. It unfolds a flavourful palette dominated by butterscotch, orange marmalade and blossom honey. Dried fruits (apricot, date, prune) then take over, accompanied by notes of milk chocolate, toast and a hint of coffee. The balance between sweetness, complexity and freshness is remarkable, supported by a fine woody structure resulting from its ageing in French oak barrels.

The finish is long, elegant and persistent. It leaves a delicious impression on the palate, marked by aromas of toasted coconut, spicy vanilla, tonka bean and nuts. A slightly salty touch prolongs the experience, bringing depth and elegance to the very last drops.
