Casks Used To Age French Cognac

"A very smooth rum that tastes well both "neat" and over ice. Barbancourt tastes better to me on ice or blended with fresh coconut water in Miami because of the heat and humidity there. Only Barbancourt, to my knowledge, distills rum solely from sugar cane juice rather than molasses. Aged"

Lacie (5/5)

Among the finest rums produced worldwide.

""Barbancourt is a "rum agricole" or "rhum agricole," which means it is a rum that is brewed from pure sugarcane juice as opposed to molasses or refined sugar. You can sip this rum as if it were a good scotch, or toss a shot of it into a glass of ice with a squeeze of lemon. Many rums are at their best in fussy tropical concoctions that disguise disagreeable side-flavors. Barbancourt is without a doubt among the top rums regardless of price, despite being reasonably priced. ""

Ignatius (5/5)

An American Treasure, Barbancourt

"The gold standard for rum in Haitian culture is 5 star Barbancourt (bah-burn-cou). It was astounding to discover real Barbancourt in a restaurant north of Miami. Barbancourt exudes a calmness and unadulterated strength that is not oppressive. It's simple to see why Europeans, pirates, and other travelers to Hispanola were mesmerized by this classic item."

Baker77 (5/5)

Exceptional Rhum

"One of the best rhums I've ever had is this one. It has a pleasant taste and no unpleasant aftertaste. But this is not a rum for a beginner. To start, there are further Agricore rums. On ice, neat, or in a cocktail, this is excellent. I've been consuming rum for about 50 years and currently own over 25 distinct varieties. These are my top picks, in order."

Quennel (5/5)

This Rhum is a Total Package

"This rhum is superb. My friend who works as a bartender introduced me to this, and I haven't looked back since. Particularly a dark and stormy, these create some of the best cocktails. I can hardly hold onto it for more than two weeks, thus I definitely recommend it."

Yocheved (5/5)

Fantastic given the cost

""This one is great for drinking and blending, and I can suggest it to everyone. One detects a woody flavor as well as some flavor notes that, for some reason, make me think of brandy.  Herbal aftertaste that I really enjoy. decent pricing. ""

Callen78 (4/5)

One Of The Finest Rums Available!

"It has a really unique flavor because it is aged in cognac barrels. You can't beat the price for such a smooth rum!"

Zorah (5/5)

Delectable Rum Option

"The rum from Haiti is excellent in this case. fantastic complement to eggnog or Haitian kremas as well as a superb mixer for cocktails."

Pablo (4/5)

Highly Pleased With This Purchase

""Fantastic work, Haiti! My friends and family had a great time working with Barbancourt. Gratitude once more""

BillHayes4 (5/5)

I don't drink much rum, but this is still good.

"I've purchased two bottles so far, and it has a nice, quiet flavor that is simple to drink on its own."
