Rhum Barbancourt White Rum is a Rum.

What is Rhum Barbancourt White Rum?

Rhum Barbancourt White Rum stands out as a refined Haitian agricole-style rum, crafted from fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses. What's particularly fascinating is that despite being a white rum, it's actually aged for 12 months in oak barrels and then carefully filtered to remove the color, resulting in a smooth yet complex spirit that carries subtle notes of its brief barrel rest.

Why do we love Rhum Barbancourt White Rum?

Cocktail aficionados should seek out Rhum Barbancourt White Rum for its distinctively clean, grassy flavor profile that sets it apart from typical white rums. Unlike most industrially produced white rums, Rhum Barbancourt is made from fresh-pressed sugar cane juice rather than molasses, resulting in a more nuanced spirit that beautifully showcases Haiti's terroir and century-old French distilling traditions.

How do you drink Rhum Barbancourt White Rum?

Rhum Barbancourt White Rum shines in refreshing tropical cocktails, making it perfect for sipping poolside on hot summer days. Its clean, crisp profile also allows it to be enjoyed neat or with a splash of coconut water over ice, and it pairs wonderfully with spicy Caribbean dishes or fresh seafood.

Nose: Clean sugarcane aromas with hints of grass and light vanilla. Subtle notes of banana and coconut. Faint whiff of white pepper.

Palate: Smooth and crisp. Flavors of fresh sugarcane juice and green apple. Light body with a touch of sweetness. Hints of tropical fruit and a slight earthiness reminiscent of wet stone.

Finish: Medium-short with lingering notes of vanilla and a gentle warmth. Clean, dry finish with a subtle mineral quality. Faint traces of citrus peel on the tail end.

Rhum Barbancourt White Rum starts with fresh-pressed sugar cane juice, which is fermented and then double-distilled in copper pot stills. What sets this Haitian rum apart is its brief aging process—even the white expression rests in oak barrels for 12-15 months before being filtered to remove color, lending it a surprising depth of flavor for an unaged rum.

  • Rhum Barbancourt White Rum is actually aged for 12 months in oak barrels, unlike most white rums which are unaged. This brief aging gives it a smoother taste while maintaining its clear appearance.
  • The water used in Rhum Barbancourt comes from a natural spring on the distillery's estate, which has been used since 1862. This spring water contributes to the rum's unique flavor profile.
  • Despite being a Haitian rum, Rhum Barbancourt was founded by a Frenchman named Dupré Barbancourt, who brought cognac-making techniques to rum production. This fusion of French and Caribbean traditions sets it apart from other rums.

      Rhum Barbancourt White is the best!

      Hands down my favorite white rum, and easily in the top three of rums I prefer. If you like a funky rum and want something that does it all, look no further!

      An Underrated and Delightful Rum

      I love everything that Rhum Barbancourt makes. Where I live in the American Southeast, however, Rhum Barbancourt White is very difficult to find. Just when I had lost all hope of obtaining my own bottle, I learned that Curiada ships it to my state. I ordered two bottles, which arrived in a timely manner in safe packaging.

      The rum itself is delightful. It strikes a beautiful balance between grassy funk, buttery sweetness, and tropical fruitiness. All Barbancourt rums are derived from fresh cane juice, but are distilled in a manner more similar to molasses-based rums than rhum agricole. The result is a complex yet approachable spirit. Of course, Barbancourt White is an excellent mixer; I would recommend subbing it for molasses-based white rum in any cocktail which calls for it. It's a good enough to be sipped as well. Thank you, Barbancourt and thank you, Curiada!
