Barbancourt 5

In 1862, Dupra Barbancourt, a native of the Charente region in France, put the finishing touches to a recipe for rum that still bears his name today. Using a double distillation method usually reserved for the very finest cognacs, he discovered a rum of incomparable quality that has always received the highest international distinctions. Dupra Barbancourt left no heir and when he died the company passed to his wife Nathalie Gardère who managed it with the help of her nephew, Paul Gardère. When she died, Paul then directed the company until 1946. At this time Rhum Barbancourt distillery was still located on le Chemin des Dalles in Port au Prince and only produced a limited quantity of rum. The older aged rums being exclusively reserved for family and friends. Technically Rum Barbancourt is a Rhum Agricole with all and only the fresh juice of the cane to be used, contrary to 95% of the world rums using the left-overs (Molasses, stalks) of the sugar refining industry. Agricole Rum belongs to the world of cognac or Armagnac, whenever Traditional Rum (also known as Industrial) is in the grappa / pomace world. 


History of Barbancourt

Barbancourt is a premium rum brand that originated in Haiti in 1862. The brand was founded by Dupré Barbancourt, a Frenchman who moved to Haiti in the mid-19th century. Barbancourt's rum quickly gained popularity due to its unique flavour and high quality. The brand's success continued to grow, and in 1949, the company was sold to a group of Haitian investors who continued to maintain the brand's high standards.

Barbancourt's rum is made from sugar cane juice, which is fermented and distilled in copper pot stills. The rum is then aged in oak barrels for several years, giving it a smooth and complex flavour. The brand offers a range of rums, including white, aged, and reserve varieties.

Today, Barbancourt is considered one of the finest rum brands in the world, and its products are sold in over 20 countries. The brand has won numerous awards for its high-quality rum, including a gold medal at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
