Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year

Molasses notes and smooth finish very aseptic on the tongue

Buttery cinnamon vanilla
Suggest lemon and lime wedge served neat

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.

Great rum!! Really good for the price, dry rum!!!!!

I really like this one, definitely more mature than the 4-year sibling. Has that same sweetness as the younger one, mild spice, very little alcohol burn, including on the nose. I detect very little of it being an "agricole" style rum. I don't detect except for the faintest hint of this on the nose. Light woodiness - perfect for me, though a bit more would be totally acceptable too. A bit of pleasant bitterness in the relatively short finish. Worthy of sipping in my book!

Jó kis rum kicsit hajaz a plantationra, finom......

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.

This is a decent agricole rum but I definitely wanted more. It's reasonably smooth (little burn,) moderately priced and decently flavored (although it does have a bite to it.) Not a bad rum (in fact, it's pretty good,) but considering its aging and prestige, I was definitely hoping for better. Still, it's worth a try!
