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.

$40CAD) Barbancourt has been on my list for a while. Something about the brand has enticed me; not sure if it’s the simplistic label and bottles or the vibrantly colourful box of the 15 year. Either way the excitement and the build up only pales in comparison to actually tasting it.

It smells a bit like gasoline and a bit grassy. The taste lacks the gasoline and instead gives you some sweetness. Not much mind you, but a little bit until the grassy taste of rhum comes through along with some light citrus notes. It’s got a bit of heat but not much considering the price point, age and 43%abv.

To me, this is a bit of a sweeter rhum or rhum agricole. Very solid for a go to rhum. Now my excitement is building for Barbancourt’s other products. Give me more!

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.
