Barbancourt 5 Star Réserve Spéciale is an eight-year-old aged rum from Distillerie Barbancourt in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It is distilled from fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses, in the agricole manner, using double distillation in copper pot stills in the style of Cognac. The distillery was founded in 1862. The rum spends eight years in French Limousin oak, the oak also used for Cognac, rather than the American oak common in rum production. The nose is lively and dry, with toasted wood, oaky spice, vanilla, pepper and caramel, lifted by fresh cane. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with brown sugar, toffee, ripe citrus and vanilla. The finish is long and warming, with baking spice, ginger and a hint of orange zest.
