HAITI – BARBANCOURT

Heritage, Cane and Craft

Founded in 1862, Rhum Barbancourt occupies a unique place in the world of rum. Inspired by the great Cognac houses of France, Barbancourt distills fresh sugar cane juice rather than molasses, then matures its rums in oak to create a style that is elegant, structured, and distinctly Haitian. While often grouped alongside French agricoles, Barbancourt has developed its own unmistakable identity over more than 160 years of production.

This flight follows the evolution of Barbancourt's house style, from vibrant cane juice character to refined long-aged expressions, finishing with an innovative whisky cask release that reveals a bold new dimension of Haitian rum.
