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.

Blends in to my tea and adds a sugary caramel flavor to it..
This was my first time trying a rhum agricole and I had seen people recommending this one online a lot. I found it for about $20 for a 750mL and thought what the heck. This will certainly be added to my rum (rhum) rotation.
I'm still trying to figure out whether I like this one or not. Maybe it's the fact that it's an agricole has me stumped but some days it seems wonderful and others not so much.
I like this, as well as the 3 star. I am hoping to try the 15 year as well.
Very nice. Light color, Light taste, smooth with just a tad of a aftertaste at the end.
Le 15 reste mon favori mais le 8 est un excellent rhum agricole agréable et fin
This one has a very oak-forward flavor with hints of vegetal flavors, vanilla, and a hint of sweetness. Not my favorite, but not bad in cocktails.
Obyčejná láhev, hliníková zátka, výborný rum uvnitř.
Haven’t tried many rums like this and think this one is ok. No issues really to sit and drink it. May need to get accustomed to the different taste from the different process used to make it. Smooth enough, but finding I’m having some astringency after it goes down.

Just the third sort of sugar cane based rum in my life and I'm falling in love with them.
Absolutely smooth and delicious, pretty strong, but practically without alcohol notes, a bit smoky and 100% fruity - it's Next Stop New Life in my exploration of rum world.
Enjoy!
