Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year rum

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year

Haiti | Aged

Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year Rum is agricultural, meaning it's produced from fermented sugar cane juice rather than the more typical molasses. The sugar cane juice is double distilled and aged for eight years in Limousin oak barrels.

Dupré Barbancourt created the Barbancourt rum recipe in 1862 in Haiti, where the rum is still produced today. A French national, Barbancourt incorporated traditional French methods including double-distillation in the process.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 5/11/21. Rich amber in color. Boozy aroma of acetone and pineapples. Woody and bitter. Herbal woodruff. A dessicating finish to the mouthfeel. Very unique and pleasant.

This is my first French style rum. It's ok. Mostly just spicey.

Molasses notes and smooth finish very aseptic on the tongue

I picked this one up when I was finding it difficult to find a true rhum agricole. I don't enjoy it neat, but I really enjoy it with a Mexican coke and another rum.

Light amber, faint nose, but nicely balanced and very easy to sip. A very good value.

A good Agricole Rhum (not my cup of tea) but goes well on the Cuba Libre… a bit spicy and harsh typical from these types of rums.

I don’t hate this rum. I think for an agricole priced under $30 it’s a decent value. I’ve come to enjoy it most neat.
