Barbancourt Extra Old Rum 8 years 700ml - 1 Bottle

Product Description

Product Description

Barbancourt Extra Old 8 Year Rum, also known as 5 Star, is one of Haiti's most celebrated premium rums. Crafted from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, it follows a production method inspired by traditional Cognac distillation before maturing for eight years in French Limousin oak barrels. The result is a remarkably elegant rum that balances fresh cane character with rich oak complexity.

The nose reveals aromas of vanilla, dried fruit, toasted oak and baking spice. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, offering notes of caramel, cocoa, roasted nuts and gentle tropical fruit before finishing long with warming spice and oak.
