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.

Very flavor full sipping rum. Subtle aroma for the alcohol content

A surprising rum from Haiti. Quality taste and extremely smooth.

I could see his becoming my daily sipper. Different then other rums I tried. It was nicely balanced. Very fruity and just dry enough to cut through the sweetness with a smooth finish.

Far better that the 3 star, good rhum to drink with soda. Worthy of the Barbancourt name.

A bit too harsh on the aftertaste ..... Nice to sip but wouldn't purchase if I had the choice ... It's like a mix between spiced and aged that doesn't quite work

Don't be fooled by bad reviews, this r(h)um has it all - a bit of smoke, charred oak, honey, cinnamon, toffee, very little burn on the finish. There's also a plasticky, medicinal element to this that's not unpleasant. The flavors dance on the palate. Mouthfeel is nice and thick. I also get hints of honeyed raisins. A lover of bourbon and scotch will enjoy this fine offering.

This one is $22 where I live and worth every penny :)

C'est un bon rhum. J'ajoute ce dernier aux rhums qui représentent un bon rapport qualité/prix. Un bon 8 ans agricole.

Rhum extrêmement puissant en bouche même si le nez se laisse courtiser
Du mal à finir le verre
Un côté herbacé et médicamenteux qui n'est pas mon style
