The Rhum Barbancout Estate Reserve is finally bottled at 43 % ABV.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nInitially distilled and reserved only for Barbancourt family and friends, it was eventually released for public sale for the first time ever in the mid 1960’s, gaining much noteriety.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe flavors of this rum are very similar on the nose as they are in the glass, with butterscotch and toffee flavors accented by sandal wood and French Limousin oak. As a 15-year-old spirit, the more oaky notes that are to be expected in the flavor, are less prominent due to the use of large wooden vats to age a portion of the rhum. These large vats allow less interaction with the oak. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAlso on the palate are flavors of rich fruit and baking spices. Caramelized brown sugars, and a dash of spices like cloves and cinnamon, with some marmalade and marzipan, and even a light smokiness of dark tobacco are all present.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPick up a bottle of this special rhum today!                            \u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Barbancourt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            Rhum (French for Rum) Barbancourt is both distilled and bottled by Societe du Rhum Barbancourt, in Port Au Prince, on the Isle of Haiti. Founded in 1862, by Dupré Barbancourt, the company has been passed down through generations. The French spelling for for this Caribbean elixir may be off by one letter, However, the differences between Rhum and Rum are much more complex than this small grammatical twist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe rum making traditions of the French West Indies, differ greatly from the rum traditions of the other colonized Caribbean countries. A key difference in ‘Rhum Agricole’ production is that it is distilled only once, to 70% ABV, from sugar cane juice as opposed to fermented molasses. Then it is brought down to bottling proof.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/?brand_dropdown=2577\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Barbancourt bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Rum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRum history allegedly started in the Carribiens in the 17th century when they started to ferment and distill molasses, a byproduct of sugar production.
