Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Initial light aroma that develops complexity as it rests. Sweet sugar cane dominates, balanced by grassy notes and a mild funkiness reminiscent of cachaça. Subtle spices emerge - coriander, cardamom, and black pepper - alongside hints of vanilla. The overall effect is sweet yet intriguingly complex.

Palate: Fresh sugar cane flavors hit immediately, followed by a surprisingly light mouthfeel. Subtle citrus notes of orange peel appear briefly mid-palate. The flavor profile is straightforward and dominated by the sweet cane sugar, with other elements difficult to discern due to the quick transition to the finish.

Finish: Remarkably short and crisp. The sugarcane sweetness lingers lightly on the tongue for a few minutes, but overall the finish is clean and quick, leaving a subtle reminder of the rum's agricultural origins without much complexity or evolution.

Rhum Barbancourt 3 Star is crafted from pure sugar cane juice, double-distilled in copper pot stills, and aged for four years in French Limousin oak barrels, resulting in a unique agricole-style rum that balances the grassy freshness of cane with subtle oak influences.

Rhum Barbancourt 3 Star is made using a unique double distillation process in copper pot stills, a method more commonly associated with fine cognacs than rums. This technique contributes to its distinctive smooth character and complexity.

Despite being produced in Haiti, Rhum Barbancourt was founded by a Frenchman named Dupré Barbancourt in 1862. The company has remained family-owned for over 150 years, surviving political upheavals, natural disasters, and even an American occupation.

During the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Barbancourt distillery suffered significant damage, losing nearly 30% of its aged rum stocks. However, the company played a crucial role in relief efforts, converting some of its alcohol production to make hand sanitizer for local hospitals and relief workers.
