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 rum the bottle is exotic to serve in a party but if you are looking for the best move on
This is good rum, not great or amazing, but a good rum. Serving this to someone, I know I'm serving the good stuff but not the best. I drink it with one ice cube. The notes of oak are present with a small vanilla (not a spiced rum), the alcoolic "bite" is nice, it has a nice scent...
Definitely better than his younger brother (the 3-Star)... I love drinking it On the rocks, but it's an amazing rum in cocktails
I go back and forth between Barbancourt and Appleton VX. Barbancourt has a deeper level of oak and a similar smoothness on the finish, but I just can't bring myself to love it. It can be sipped, but for the all the fuss on the label, it isn't anything special. It seems a waste to dump it into a mixed drink, but perhaps for a Mai-Tai (which is what I prefer to use Appleton in) it would lend an element of toast and depth.
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.
"palate is powerful, smooth, and well-balanced'"

Nose is surprisingly “molasses” like.
"Nice citrus notes, a little lime, a hint of lemon moving onto a more fruity green grapes."

A very nice rum to sip straight, blends well into any rum-based cocktail. Has a nice sweet undertone, rich flavor. A titch sharp going down but a smooth finish. Definitely has a place on my shelf.
