Description

Barbancourt Extra old Rum 15 years. The Barbancourt family is of French origin, hence the spelling 'Rhum' on the label. Sugar cane grown at Domaine Barbancourt as well as other parts of Haiti is hand cut between November and June, then thrice milled, then fermented for about 72 hours with a proprietary strain of yeast developed in-house. Double distilled in a column still to 70% ABV, then second distillation yields a spirit of 90% ABV. The newly distilled liquor is diluted with water to 50% ABV before storing solely in French Limousin oak barrels and set aside for aging. Before bottling, the rum is filtered to remove impurities and achieve color clarity. A brilliant mahogany amber color is but the first clue that Barbancourt 15 year old is an exceptional rum. Aromas include beautifully soft scents of caramelized brown sugar that manage to intoxicate without overwhelming your senses, a light molasses aroma adds depth of character, oaken vanilla and notes of dried fruits - raisin, dried apricot, orange - are evident, as is a slight cane earthiness, subtly spiced with clove and cinnamon. Those wonderful aromas prepare your mouth for a nicely complex suite of flavors delivered in direct proportion with those your nose detected, but smoothed with a touch more vanilla. A medium weight body integrates heavy alcohols well into the overall liquor, allowing the flavors spread slowly and elegantly over the palate. The finish is substantial and charismatically long; cocoa adds to the complexity, with a lasting sweetness in the throat.

About The Producer

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 Gardare who managed it with the help of her nephew, Paul Gardare. When she died, Paul then directed the company's destiny until 1946. At this time Rhum Barbancourt's 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. However, if agricole, it is not submitted to the other rigors of AOC Rhum Agricole and therefore has its own style: relaxed Haitian!
