Barbancourt 3 Stars 4 Years

"A rum tasted at the Lucerne Gin and Rum Festival 2024. An agricultural nose with bitter herbs, sweetness and yellow fruit. The palate begins smoothly, the aromas grow and the alcohol takes over. The finish is short with bitter wood. Not a very interesting rum, but well made and pleasant to drink."

"Der letzte, im Hintergrund ein paar geile Samples von Jarek :) Auch etwas zu süß, Vanille, Holz und Gewürze in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann auch zuviel Süsse, vor allem Vanille und Schokolade sind erkennbar. Aber leider ist der Alkohol auch nicht gut eingebunden."

"Again the price to quality is pretty good though this one I'd probably use for a mixer. You and sweet with fruit and light dryness."

"Not enough of anything to be a reasonable sipper, better for mixing. "

"My first "French still" rum 😁 had promised me more."

"This is my favorite aged Barbancourt. You can taste the rum much more than the more aged expressions. It's similar to low ester Jamaican flavor. A higher abv would help. I drink this neat. I will rebuy. I suspect this has a bit of added sugar."

"Good, not too sweet, but nothing more"

"I find that at less than 30 euros it is an excellent choice. To have behind your bar."

"Actually only bought it to compare it in parallel with its Pondon from the 70s, but already started to get rid of it. :-D Floral, for me, indefinable notes, a bit fruity, all very thin. On the whole, it's nothing."

"A slightly fruity aroma, somewhat woody and dry. The taste is initially slightly sweet, then a little more bitter, slightly alcoholic."

"Bon rapport qualité-prix à 30€ pour les long drinks."

"I haven’t had a Barbancourt I really enjoyed, and this one is no different. Hardly any flavor to speak of, and what’s there is relatively hard to distinguish. Some woodiness, some rounder baking spice notes, but overall forgettable and the finish is fleeting. Despite the lack of flavor I somehow get alcohol that isn’t well integrated even at this low proof. This was bought for cocktails."

"Très bon rhum vieux d Haïti "

"jemny, nasladly a dost koreneny, ale pomerne dobre pitelny"

"Trop d alcool (mauvais) aucune subtilité. Je déconseille. Et vu le prix vraiment déçu. Le nez est fort en alcool qui cache toute senteur. En bouche on a encore le gout de l alcool mais pas grand chose de plus. A voir dans une 2eme dégustation car je sors juste d une grippe.."
