According to the label this rum has pineapple, mango, and a "secret Haitian spice" (I'm not sure if I wanna know). Although the base rum is agricole, the pineapple and mango is STRONG...really strong...and sweet. I've had worse. The pineapple and mango definitely are present in its aroma. The rum itself is a very light gold color. The sweetness catches me by surprise and initially I wasn't into it but allow it to settle for a while and then sipping some more made it more palatable. However this isn't a sipping rum but a rum destined for tropical fruit cocktails. A rum fruit smoothie would be awesome in this.

Now as a straight rum I would give this at best a "3" but as a mixer? Much higher. Overall I give it a 6 mainly for its limitations. I truly think it could be better if it were not so sweet. The agricole rum suffers a bit with the sweetness.

But it is what it is. And what it is is a very nice rum best suited for fruit-based cocktails.

Your likeness of this spiced rum will depend on how much sweet you can take. Nice mango flavor with the pina in the background. Good for a mixer.

This rum is perfect for those times when you want to sip something out of the ordinary. First of all, it's made by Barbancourt, which means 100% fermented sugar cane juice. Zero molasses. It's flavored with pineapples, mangoes and spices (and sugar?). The result is a very light, sweet, bright-tasting 70 proof rum/liqueur which goes down easily all on its own. No need for ice or mixers (although they could be a nice addition if you insist). It is only slightly similar to Stiggins Fancy, an equally delicious but much heavier, molasses-based rum/pineapple concoction. It is very easy to drink half a bottle of this Pango by accident. And then the other half on purpose. Liquid fun.

A pungent potent pineapple / mango rum, bears little resemblance to the sweet fake tasting fruit rums from Bacardi or Cruzan. Not for the faint of palate.

Barbancourt Pango uses natural pineapple and mango, and has a nice blend of those flavors. It is sweet, but, I didn't find it to be cloyingly so, due to it being natural flavors. It is great as a mixer, but, can also be sipped by itself. It's great for what it is. I heard that it is now out of production, but, I have found a few bottles out there in the wild.

Bottle purchased at Total Wine in Ft. Myers. Light gold in color. As promised, it has pineapple and mango aromas. The flavors of these fruits emerge as well, but I get tangerine also. Very very sweet. I’m not a hater because there are some good tiki drinks that one can make with this.

Well. Now I know juicy fruit gum tastes like mango, pineapple... and rum 😂🤣
This would be nice with some squirt on pebble ice, in a giant tumbler and with snacks.

I bought this rum specifically to make the Nautilus tiki cocktail from Disney's Trader Sams. It does the job by adding some strong sweet and fruity flavors to the drink. I will use this in other cocktails, but it is too cloying to sip on its own.

Pour les amateurs de rhum doux et sucré. Très fruité et me rappelle de bons souvenirs des rhums arrangés.

Ce rhum est bien particulier, généreux et fruité! Le bouquet floral vous amènera directement dans les tropiques ! Ça sent bon !!! 😊
Si vous voulez un rhum chaleureux à prendre sans vous prendre la tête, comme digestif, n’hésitez pas à vous le procurer. Même les non initiés le trouveront intéressant par sa douceur et ses parfums fruités. Toutefois, si vous comptez déguster du sérieux avec un cercle de connaisseurs, alors passez votre tour et choisissez un produit plus straight.
Bonne dégustation avec un dessert à côté ! 😊

I have held off in trying a bottle of this for several years. I saw plenty of these bottles on the shelf and told myself WTF. I was quite surprised when I got it home. At 70 proof and seemingly having very little sugar added, this is a very tasty flavored rhum agricole. Mango dominates, then pina, then the secret Haitian spice that is barely noticeable. No molasses flavor at all. This can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or used to make some fruit forward drinks. As others have mentioned, it could be very easy to put away an entire bottle in one day.
