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.

Nice golden , yellow colour , aroma of honey and a medicinal smell reminds me of Witch Hazel ? As said , clean and crisp and rather dry. Tastes well made but not for me as a sipper , but it does make an excellent rum and coke !
View: Pours light golden brown.
Nose: Faint hints of burnt vanilla, almost charred smell
Initial Tasting: No distinct flavors to pinpoint; almost medicine-like; a bit harsh on the palate
Body: Burnt sugar that doesn't last
Fade: Not much on the back end
Overall: Not my cup of tea whatsoever. Could be a good rhum to mix with; preferably with a fruit juice and other spirits.
Goûté par hasard et adopté. Assez riche, équilibré entre douceur et impétuosité sèche, mais tout de même 43°. Boisé et fruité. Beau produit.
I liked this one. Recommended by the local seller and he was right.
Una piacevole sorpresa.
Preso quasi per caso, si rivela un rum tutt'altro che semplice e scontato.
Leggeri caramello e vaniglia, miele che compare a tratti.
Finale secco, poco persistente.
Non stufa e si lascia bere con garbo.
Rum elegante e inaspettato.
Nice rum agricole. Tasty both straight up and in coke. Great value for money.
Edit: After the bottle being opened for a few weeks the rum began to have a wierd smell and taste to it. Ended up giving the bottle to a friend who mixes it with coke. Went down from a 7 to a 6 because of this.
Rhum agricole très agréable à boire, simple et efficace.
Premières impressions, un nez assez léger et délicat,
En bouche, je trouve qu'il prend de l'ampleur et de la longueur avec le temps.
Un rhum sans grandes surprises aromatiques mais à conseiller tout de même pour son prix très avantageux.
Just great. I've tried different alcohol from different countries, but this one has impressed me. The smell, the color, the taste is just off the chain. I'd recommend this to anyone, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
PS: I think if it was more expensive, people would appreciate it more
Not what I normally drink but I can see where it could be nice. just not for me.
A classic but somewhat different rhum. Do not dismiss this rum because you do not like agricole.
Has very little by way of vegetal/grassy notes. An excellent complex sipping rum.
"palate is powerful, smooth, and well-balanced'"
"Barbancourt 5 Star rum review by the Ultimate Rum Guide"
Nose is surprisingly “molasses” like.
"Nice citrus notes, a little lime, a hint of lemon moving onto a more fruity green grapes."

Rum produced from sugar cane juice in french style, aged for a long time if compared to Martinique/Guadaloupe cousins.
A real 8 years old agricole, for a price under 30€ is a very good value for money.
I enjoy this rum neat, there is a very good balance between the fresh, dry notes of the sugar cane and the wooden notes of a sipping spirit.
