Rich and complex on the nose with aromas of dried tropical fruits, vanilla, toasted oak, and warm spices. The palate reveals layers of caramel, dark chocolate, molasses, and coconut, with hints of leather and tobacco from extended aging. The finish is long, smooth, and warming, with a lingering sweetness balanced by gentle woody tannins and subtle dried fruit.

About this rum
Planteray XO is a 20-year aged rum from one of the Caribbean's most serious rum producers, blended to deliver depth and refinement rather than simple sweetness. Two decades in barrel shapes a spirit with real structural complexity.
Expect dark dried fruits, roasted nuts, caramel, and a touch of bittersweet chocolate, with the long finish that extended ageing reliably delivers. On board, serve it neat after dinner alongside a cheese course, dark chocolate, or a small plate of salted nuts.
