French Limousin oak barrels
A Haitian rum from Rhum Barbancourt, founded in 1862, made from 100% fresh sugar-cane juice rather than molasses. The spirit is double-distilled in copper pot stills, a technique borrowed from cognac production, then matured for eight years in French Limousin oak barrels. It is bottled at around 43% ABV. It shows vanilla, warm caramel, subtle pepper spice, light citrus peel, roasted brown sugar, toffee, ripe stone and citrus fruit, vanilla bean and a touch of white pepper or ginger spice, with a long, composed finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Vanilla, warm caramel, subtle pepper spice, light citrus peel, soft wood-aged tone and fresh sugar-cane brightness.

Palate

Smooth and medium-bodied, with roasted brown sugar, toffee, ripe stone and citrus fruit, vanilla bean and a touch of white pepper or ginger spice; oak is present but well-integrated.

Finish

Long and composed, with dried fruit compote, lightly toasted oak, gentle spice and a soft dryness at the back.
