Produced in Port au Prince, the capital of Haiti, Barbancourt is considered today one of the most prestigious products in the Haitian territory, a strictly agricultural Rum of French style, therefore obtained exclusively from the fermentation of fresh sugarcane juice and not molasses. It all began in 1862 thanks to Duprè Barbancourt, originally from the French region of Charente, known as the homeland of the famous Cognac. Duprè, inspired by his origins, decided to develop the recipe for a unique distillate, obtained from sugarcane, which was abundant in that area, using the Charentaise production method, i.e., double distillation in discontinuous copper pot stills, exactly as is done with the best Cognacs. The result was an immediate great success, gaining fame and word-of-mouth that contributed to making it one of the most awarded and appreciated Rums. To this day, the Barbancourt Rum production method has not changed; the property has expanded, enlarging the sugarcane plantation to 600 hectares, maintaining intact the process considered fundamental for the success of the final product: aging. This is rigorously done in French Limousin white oak barrels, which have larger pores than classic barrels and allow for greater exchange between the distillate and oxygen, helping to create a unique and unforgettable final product that is truly worth tasting!

Produced according to a secret recipe handed down from father to son, this nectar is born from the pure juice of sugar cane, then aged in special white oak barrels, imported directly from France, for a minimum of 8 years. A special reserve that will surprise and envelop you, a true delight for the spirit and mind.

Clear and bright amber color, with vivid ruby reflections. The nose reveals aromas of peach, apricot, and banana, along with notes of caramel and tropical fruit, with hints of chocolate and vanilla. The taste impact is delicate and slightly sweet, well-expressed in sensations of chocolate and dried fruit, creamy and balanced in hints of pineapple, with a dry and clean finish of toasted hazelnut.
