Introducing the Rum Artesanal 2004 BC Haiti Cask no.54, a distinguished 16-year-old rum crafted at the renowned Barbancourt Distillery in Haiti. Bottled in 2020 with a limited release of just 201 bottles, this rum boasts an impressively high ABV of 58.9% and comes in a 500 ml presentation. This exquisite spirit is celebrated for its nuanced and multifaceted profile, combining rich notes of caramel, spice, tropical fruit, and woody undertones. The complexity and intensity of this rum make it a standout in the Rum Artesanal lineup.
On the nose, you’ll encounter an inviting blend of vanilla, caramel, buttery nuances, and dried apricot, accented by a spicy and floral character. This lively aroma evolves in the glass, revealing layers of freshly cut grass, light woodiness, and hints of cherry, mandarin, and even menthol. A touch of vinegar and butter adds depth, making it a truly intriguing olfactory experience.
The palate does not disappoint, offering a vibrant and spicy introduction with notes of saffron, accompanied by the slightly sweet and green flavors of fresh sugarcane. There’s a distinctive fruitiness that’s hard to pinpoint, perhaps a hint of cherry, transitioning to clear flavors of licorice or sweet wood. The complexity continues as banana and creamy textures come forward, providing a pleasant contrast to the spice.
The finish is equally impressive, characterized by woody and herbal notes, licorice, and a spicy apricot undertone. There’s a slight bitterness that lingers, balanced by dark cocoa and subtle honey sweetness, making for a dry and peppery conclusion. This rum is described as strong and intense, with beautiful aromas and a sweet but tasty profile that stands out for its uniqueness and balance.
This rum is unique due to its complex and multifaceted flavor profile, high ABV of 58.9%, and its production at the renowned Barbancourt Distillery in Haiti. The limited release of only 201 bottles adds to its exclusivity.
To fully appreciate its complexity, it is recommended to let the rum breathe for a few minutes after pouring. This allows the rich aromas and flavors to develop, providing a more rewarding tasting experience.
Given its already significant aging of 16 years, this rum is best enjoyed now to appreciate the intricate flavors that have developed over time. However, some enthusiasts might choose to store it for special occasions.
