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.

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

but the mouth is just a touch hot; nice. I tried the 15 first... love the 15yo, and while this is nice, the 15 is fabulous. When I drink this, I always think, "Why didn't I get the 15?"

I agree with @Delactablee, Almost a whiskey flavor. Smooth, well balanced. Can't tell it's over proof. Kind of dry, but the sweetness sneaks up later.

Assolutamente da non consigliare. Adatto per uso in mitologia, ma per uso troppo costoso.

In time, i must taste it, but not now :)

I was out looking for a good sipper but my local stores were all inexplicably out of anything good so I took a chance on this one based on reviews and my wanting to try another Agricole. The first drink I had was a small neat. It started out mellow enough but suddenly went south and kicked me in the teeth with a very whiskey-like booze taste with heavy oak and grass flavors. Not terrible. Just jarring/unsettling. For round two, I dropped an ice cube into a nice rocks glass, swirled it around with my finger and jumped back in. The ice cube definitely balanced everything out, but it wasn’t until the cube completely melted that I found it pleasantly drinkable. The light amber makes it a good candidate for mixed drinks or blender cocktails. I’ll end up drinking this bottle over time, but it is a really lackluster, anti-climactic drink. A decent price at $28, but nothing I’ll be breaking down doors to buy another bottle of.
