Rhum Barbancourt 8 Year Old Rserve Spciale, also known as the 5 Star, is a distinguished Haitian rum crafted from 100% fresh sugar cane juice. This agricole-style rum is double distilled in copper pot stills and aged for eight years in French Limousin oak barrels, a technique reminiscent of fine cognac production.

This rum’s versatility makes it suitable for sipping neat, enjoying over ice, or enhancing classic rum cocktails, particularly those with citrus notes. Its complex flavor profile also pairs beautifully with rich, tropical dishes or spicy Caribbean cuisine.

Dupr Barbancourt created the Barbancourt rum recipe in 1862 in Haiti, where the rum is still produced today. A French national, Barbancourt incorporated traditional French methods including double-distillation in the process.
