Barbancourt Estate Reserve 15-Year

A very nice aroma in the bottle. Hints of sweetness. The flavor is wonderful with butterscotch notes and a warmth to it rather than a harsh burn. I detect some woodiness to it but not really a strong oak so I'm not sure what they aged it in although I have read they aged it in rather large barrels. A tongue tingler for certain. A very good rum. Wished they had used a cork rather than a cheap screwcap.

Found this and was impressed by the deep fruity taste without too much sweetness. Will be my regular go-to rhum.

Sugar: estimated at 8-10 gpl. To me it seemed that the blender added some form of sweetener to soften the Agricole bite in this rum. Okay taste with wood, caramel but it tasted like they added sweet n low to the blend leaving a what is that taste. Good mixer, but not a sipping rum for me.

The thing is how many times are you in Hati. So not exactly the easiest to find but one to grab if you can smooth and nice.

Nice rum for a cool night. Great over a big cube. A favorite. Served to a few whiskey drinkers and they loved it.

This should be it! Dry, yet balanced and smooth. I don't care for the other agricoles I've tried and in general enjoy dry rums, but wow this is well done!

edited to add sugar test results- 6g

Nice flavors that aren't overpowering. Mixed well with a splash of diet Coke.

Will never NOT have one in my house. Very interesting flavor that's almost like a Rhum agricole. Very much enjoy it.

Had a chance to try this tonight at a local watering hole. Kind of a cool funky agricole vibe to it. A bit sweet but definitely enjoyable.

This is very nice. I’d heard that the quality had dropped off due to the horror show the last decade+ has visited on Haiti, but I’m very impressed with this. A good entree point for people curious about agricole rhum as I find a very nice balance between sweet and dry; grass and fruit! Santé!

This is a drier tasting rum that has just a touch of burn. For me not a supper but for some it will be with just a background of funk, no real sweetness.

As a mixer it is very smooth and that slight burn comes through as a nice effect on you tongue. Really liked it with citrus and very good with Coke.

Have not blended it but think it will be very good. Also might make a great rum old fashioned.

It is a sleeper with a screw cap but will probably make my keeper list.

Typical of a cane juice rum, this is lighter in body, and dry overall.

Smooth, no bite. Very good straight. Wouldn’t mix it.

It need character that we KNOW Barbancourt can deliver. We know, because of the independent bottlings. Try harder please.

Standard aged rum profile, sweet forward, subtle spice. A bit expensive as an everyday dipper, but in that category. Not overly complex

Not that great as a sipping rum. Heavy alcohol tastes even after letting it breathe for a while. It is best on the rocks or as a mixing rum.

Has taste of good cognac, dry, nuanced. Guess I was expecting more rum profile. Nice, but a bit of a surprise.
After a few tries I am raising my rating. Very good in a daqari recipe. Smooth, pleasant aroma.

smooth aroma of brown sugar. Taste is not particularly complex, but smooth and decent. 80+

Usually I go for corked bottles but this was an amazingly good rum. Big step up from the 8 year.

Un ron bastante robusto, y con mucho cuerpo. Nada delicado, seco y raspa, pero una boca llena de mucho sabor. Un verdadero regalo de Haití.

I am told there should be some grassy notes but cannot say I recognize them. Still learning.

belle saveur au nez. Au goût un peu épicé pas trop agressif avec un soupçon de chêne se termine avec une final modéré. À boire avec de la glace

Väldigt positivt överraskad! Rund och välbalanserad, inte för söt
