Barbancourt 15 Year Rum

Rhum Barbancourt, from Haiti is known the world over as 'the rum of connoisseurs' following a centuries-old tradition that grew from the French methods of creating cognac and is unparalleled in quality and taste. After using a double distillation method, known as the charantaise method from France, it is aged for 15 years in Limousin white oak barrels .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.
