How does this rum taste?
Rum Artesanal Haiti Rum is a limited-edition spirit crafted at the Barbancourt distillery in Haiti. Produced using sugar cane juice distilled in 2004, this rum is aged for 17 years and 7 months in a column still, and then bottled at cask strength with a robust 58.3% ABV. Lauded for its complex blend of vanilla, woody, and banana aromas, it features a palate highlighted by notes of caramel, dark chocolate, and a pronounced natural sweetness. While praised for its depth and vibrancy, some reviews noted its strong alcohol presence. Recommended for rum enthusiasts looking for a distinguished sipping experience. Limited to only 180 bottles, it's a precious find.

A lively rum with a sweet cane character. The woodiness supports the whole well. Excellent with teriyaki chicken :) After drinking a whole bottle, I can confirm that it's very good... It's lost its liveliness and become darker. A beautiful evolution!
Ultra beautiful Haiti Barbancourt. I think it's actually the best one I've had so far. Even more fruity than the 16y old predecessor and extremely mild and delicious. Really great nose of tropical fruit iced tea and also in the taste this note of fresh sour-sweet passion fruit, honey, bitter-sweet kumquats and peach iced tea as well as a slight subtle note of green chili and white chocolate inspires me. The finish is also surprisingly long and intense for a Barbancourt. All in all, very harmonious and highly recommended! Be sure to leave it to stand for at least 45 minutes, then it will fully open up and reveal its full aroma. Thumbs up! My new reference Haiti, would not have thought that a Barbancourt could be so much fun.
Starting of the Easter holiday with a nice sipper: it is quite light on the nose, but the palate is very well balanced and has something of everything that I like. The Alcohol is very well hidden, and this drink rolls of my tongue and calls for more. I wouldn't call it a bargain in general, as this is only 0.5l, but in light of the prices Rum Artesanal and other IBs command it might become difficult to find good rums as this much cheaper these days.
Edit: Now that I've had other bottlings from Haiti in my glass, this remains my No.1 from the country. At least as of today. For me now the number 1 from Haiti. A nice sweetness but still very spicy. Super tasty in the finish. Makes you want more.
