Barbancourt Rhum vieux Réserve du Domaine 15yr 43%

"A deep golden color.A very nice nose, dried fruit, tobacco, vanilla. Balanced and melted - as the French would say - not very complex.In the mouth it continues similarly.Great flavor profile, very good rum. The 43% alone prevents higher consecrations. Highly recommended (at the price).The reading material to go with it: Greene's "The hour of the comedians".This was the best - and cheapest - rum in the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj."

"Heute haben wir eine breit angelegte Verkostung mit sehr unterschiedlichen Rumsorten gemacht."

"Enttäuscht von diesem Rum. Zu leicht, fehlender Charakter und kein Abgang. Sicherlich liegt es an seinen 43%, aber es fehlt etwas!"

"Smooth, a touch of vanliga and oak, not a typical Haiti but in a good way."

"Unfortunately tastes thin and alcoholic."

"Who likes Agricole Rhum, should rather stay with the Rhums from the island of Martinique In this Rhum sugar is used, 6g/L. You can drink the rhum but still good, but is not Agricole Rhum AOC."

"A good rum for gently introducing pure juices, but it is either over-reduced or badly reduced, so lacking in character and depth."

"Significantly sweeter than the 8 year old. My opinion remains close to what I said about the latter. The double distillation has the effect of creating a rum very close in taste to a molasses rum in spite of being a pure cane juice rum. It's charming, easy to drink, and elegant, but the pleasure of the discovery for this brand evaporated for me a little bit after I realized that the taste produced is too close to a sweet and smooth English style rum like the ones from st lucia or even barbade. It's well made, but not that unique, especially considering the price."

"This “Rhum agricole” is really nice. Want to discover an interesting aged rhum, well made, accessible and at good price tag: this is my bet."

"Better than expected."

"Die in Barbancourt gereiften Rhums sind typischerweise mild und delikat. Der niedrige Alkoholgehalt macht ihn ein wenig dünn. Die zusätzliche Fasslagerung des 15-Jährigen verleiht ihm ein ausgeprägtes Holzaroma, aber nicht so holzig wie ein vergleichbarer Foursquare. Ich trinke ihn pur. Ich werde ihn nicht wieder kaufen."
