BARBANCOURT - 5 Stars - 8 years - 43%
Welcome to Haiti, a land of excellence for agricultural rums! In 1862, a Frenchman from the prestigious Cognac region, Dupré Barbancourt, settled on this island. Drawing on his unique expertise derived from the cognac tradition, he founded the Barbancourt distillery. It stands out for the meticulous use of the double distillation method, ensuring rums of remarkable finesse and purity. For many decades, production remained artisanal, preserving ancestral know-how, before Jean Gardère, in the 1940s, propelled the company towards significant development. Located in the heart of Haiti, amidst the vast sugarcane fields of the Cul-de-sac plain, the Barbancourt distillery remains a family business, a symbol of passion and quality. Recognized worldwide, it wins numerous awards every year, attesting to its undeniable international reputation.
This Barbancourt Réserve Spéciale 5 stars is the worthy big brother of the 3 stars, benefiting from twice as long aging, that is 8 years of barrel maturation. This extended time gives the rum an exceptional aromatic richness: a complex bouquet revealing elegant notes of vanilla, almond, walnut, and fresh citrus, enhanced by a remarkable length on the palate. This exceptional agricultural rum is a must-have for connoisseurs and those wishing to enrich their cellar with a rare noble reference from Haiti.
