This is a good sipper, fairly mellow across the board from the nose to the finish. A bit on the dry side, but not in a bad way.

I cannot pick out a single dominant flavor personally - it just seems to have a bit of everything from fruit to,tobacco to a hint of sugar and wood.

Origine : Haïti

70cl

Nez : boisé, faible arômes de caramel
Bouche : Très boisé sur le bois et les tanins, faible arômes de caramel et noisette. Très longue finale qui apporte chaleur en bouche.

So to be clear - I drink my rum on the rocks
Now having said that - there’s no question about this being a Caribbean rum. Flavourful but this one has a sharper aftertaste verses some of its neighbouring runs. It’s lighter then other aged runs of similar origin. Not a first choice but certainly an enjoyable rum

good price, good rum, dosage 8 grams per liter ... so it s a little bit sweetened,
really don t like rum with sugar added, this one have 3 grams too much...

The screw cap was difficult to get off and in my case, after breaking the seal, the screw cap seems to be stripped, one can pull the screw cap straight off the bottle -
The rum is smooth, not much on the nose, it don't taste bad, but it don't taste great either. I can drink it, but this will be a "one of" for me. I really wanted it to taste so much better at 60 bucks a bottle! Yikes!
It was the end of the evening when I first sampled this Rum, so I tried again today, perhaps I am overly critical for a $60.00 bottle - but it is underwhelming, and I agree with another, there is a slight metallic after taste. Other then the metallic after taste, it should not offend anyone, but for me, there is not much to enjoy either. Perhaps I got a bad bottle. The paper box is very nice. I will leave it at a 5. Too bad, I always want to score higher then that for sure. I have a few more bottles in the cabinet I have not opened and after that I will do my exploring at tasting events I suppose.

Light oak, notes of brown sugar. Spiciness from higher alcohols. Dark chocolate finish.

Lacking body.

Barbancourt 15 is mature, but overall not much better than the light and young mass marketed rums that are widely available.

I had read a number a very good ratings on this rum. I cannot agree on any level. It is harsh, with a metal after taste and finish. Too many great rums out there, this one is a miss.
