West Indies Planteray PXXO 20th Anniversary Rum
"A coconut bomb," as one German taster put it — that's the first thing almost everyone notices. It's the classic Planteray XO with a PX sherry finish layered on top: coconut, vanilla, caramel and raisiny sherry, soft and sweet at 40%. Many call it a lovely starter with finishes, though a few think the coconut reads almost added and prefer the plain XO.
The community says- Soft and easy
- PX sherry twist
- But: Very coconut-forward

On the nose, for me clearly American oak with light spice and fruit notes. The taste is very convincing. Initially light wood notes which immediately transition into fruit and spice notes. In the finish, the aging in sherry casks becomes clear and it lingers pleasantly long in the mouth. The Planteray PXXO is a mild and very smooth rum with balanced notes.

Only sherry notes in here. This Is not a rum i'll ever consider drinking again
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
@BCB Berlin: Delicious upgrade to the normal XO. Sherry influence noticeable but not too dominant, very tasty easy sipper to get into the rum world with finishes. You can definitely do it! I personally also like it better than the normal plantation XO.
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh man, the last rum for today. This Planteray is an average Planteray. The nose is chocolate, vanilla and spicy, there's also some coconut. Then on the palate, lots of (dark) chocolate, some spice and sherry. spice and sherry.
Review by Eric Frechin
A bit in the same vein as the first 20-year plantation version. I find that the coconut taste and smell are much more pronounced, it's even surprising, like an addition... it's round and easy to drink. perfect for a beginner. On the palate, and especially at the end, there's a little spicy bitterness.

#6349 Enjoying a few samples while watching the Eco-Challenge Fiji, man those racers are tough. Again a rum with a good price to quality. I tasted it the first time shortly after release in Copenhagen and found it pretty OK. Nicely balanced yet light with fruit, caramel, nutts and a pretty sweet palate.
Review by TheJona'Spirits
Masterclass V&B 2 décembre 2025. 👃 Ma première impression est une odeur de musc (ça sent les pieds, la sueur). Vraiment pas agréable. Puis l'alcool du porto, gras du sucre, glace arôme coco chocolat, sirop pour la toux, caramel vanillé. Un peu de fruits secs à l'alcool. 😋 Liqueur de coco, sucre brun, sirop pour la toux, fruits secs du cake de Noël, caramel, épices du bois, vanillé, chocolaté, un côté rance. Assez écoeurant. ⛳ Courte, liqueur, sucre qui englobe la bouche. Vanille, caramel et coco. Il faut boire de l'eau avant d'enchaîner la suite de la dégustation. 💡 Sympa, agréable mais pour le prix à 5-10€ prêt on a accès à bien meilleur, sans sucre ajouté, sans ce côté sirupeux.

A híres (kedvenc XO) sherry hordóban érlelve. Illatra egyből érezni azt az enyhén édeskés illatot ízre mégsem borul át az édes kategóriába. Enyhén olajosabb mint az XO és ott van az a kis sherry íz a nyelved hegyén de csak pont annyira hogy ne legyen hivalkodó. Remek az arány, remek az ízvilág de ezt az XO nal már megszokta az ember, ez pedig tesz rá egy kis habot a tetejére hogy még csintalanabb legyen. Nekem egy szint az XO-val nem tudnék választani :)
Review by Palo - V Poháriku
I tasted this as part of a comparison between the XO and PXXO, and this rum truly stands above the original version. On first sniff, it instantly reminds me of the plum cake with sugar topping that my grandma used to make, evoking a warm, nostalgic feel. The taste pleasantly surprises with slightly tart fruit notes, adding an unexpected, but welcomed layer to the sweetness. The finish lingers for quite short time, but that is understandable considering the ABV. I got some dried fruits, vanilla and old wood, together with an omnipresent layer of baking spices. It’s definitely a lovely upgrade over the classic XO, and while I’m usually more into absolutely different kind of rums, this PXXO brings a refreshing, sweet twist amidst all the cask strength monsters I’ve been sipping lately. A delightful change of pace, haha!
Review by Gregor
A coconut bomb as it is written in the book. Lots of vanilla and lots of coconut. Unfortunately a little too sweet and too little alcohol for me. But very suitable for beginners. Much more exciting compared to the xo
Review by Rumbaer
Ein schönes Produkt, auch wenn es in dieser Kategorie noch viele andere gibt. Man riecht sofort den PX Sherry raus, dazu Kokosnuss und Vanille. Im Geschmack finde ich den Sherry dominant, allerdings hat er einen interessanten Twist mit der Kokosnuss. Ich empfinde ihn nicht als Upgrade zum Planteray XO. Dafür ist mir der Unterschied zwischen den beiden zu groß. Beide stehen individuell für sich.
Review by Oli Dekrell
Komplexer als der XO. Weniger Kokos, mehr Wein.
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes from Whisky Live Paris 2024 - to be reviewed and expanded upon. I've been told "have you tried it? it's great" several times, so I went and tasted it, even though I was skeptical. XO is already a rum I don't drink much anymore, so this cask won't lighten it up, on the contrary. There are nice notes of mango and coconut, but it's too sweet for me. However, as a gift for beginners++, then yes!
Review by Oliver
Leckerer Twist vom klassischen Plantation XO. Angenehmer, nicht übertriebener Sherry-Einfluss.
Review by F.L.O.
Nä….is das ein Blend aus Planteray Dry Cut und XO Barbados ? Muss nicht sein….too much Kokos. Für beginner wohl ideal, aber dann doch lieber die beiden oben genannten separat erwerben und sich steigern.
Review by hubo
Erinnert schon im Geruch an Kirsche mit Schokolade, und für mich auch Kokos (meine Partnerin riecht das überhaupt nicht) sehr mild und ausgewogen. Auch am Gaumen mild und weich, dabei vollmundig. Intensive Früchte, Schokolade. Langer Abgang. Sehr schönes Produkt
