After the majestic cuvée for the 150th anniversary of the distillery, Barbancourt celebrates its 160th anniversary with this new anniversary cuvée. This limited edition rum, bottled at 43% ABV, is a testament to Barbancourt's rich heritage and craftsmanship. With only 20,000 bottles produced, this 8-year-old rum from Haiti is a coveted addition to any collection. A very nice anniversary release, especially given the price tag, it boasts an intense yet smooth profile. The palate is well-balanced, featuring delightful notes of fruit and spices, complemented by light roasted wood nuances. While some find it lacking the fruity Haiti profile, many appreciate its elegant, refined character with hints of vanilla, peppery spice, roasted wood, and dried fruit.
