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.

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

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.

You don't have to drown this one with fruit juices to make it palatable.
On par with the basic Appleton "Special Gold" as a mixer but definitely much harsher and lacking all the smoothness of the Appleton
For those who think that a burning throat means an alcohol is good and strong.

If you need something to make good (but not great) cocktails, Barbancourt 5 star is a great choice. It's about like Mount Gay Extra Old—I don't choose it from my collection to drink neat, but as part of a cocktail it is perfectly good.

Bon rhum sans conteste, mais sans surprise non plus si ce n'est que pour un viel agricole je l'ai trouvé relativement ''doux''. A tester.

This rum is undrinkable!
its smell is synthetic, like a solvent. Its taste is very strange: medicine, sour, a little iron, very tannic and you have the feeling that the mouth to fall asleep! Not recommended.

ikke nogen stor rom, da smagen ikke er så nuanceret. Men den er dejlig. Frisk, med en snert af citrongræs!
