Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

Buttery cinnamon vanilla
Suggest lemon and lime wedge served neat

Molasses notes and smooth finish very aseptic on the tongue

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

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.
