Barbancourt 5 Star Reserve Especiale 8-Year

Beautiful colors. Smooth, with pleasant notes of oak and a soft scent of the cane sugar.

a pesar de que no es el de 15 años, llena todas las expectativas de los conocedores roneros

This rum is undrinkable!
its smell is synthetic, like a solvent. Its taste is very strange: medicine, sour, a little iron, very tannic and you have the feeling that the mouth to fall asleep! Not recommended.

Bon rhum sans conteste, mais sans surprise non plus si ce n'est que pour un viel agricole je l'ai trouvé relativement ''doux''. A tester.

If you need something to make good (but not great) cocktails, Barbancourt 5 star is a great choice. It's about like Mount Gay Extra Old—I don't choose it from my collection to drink neat, but as part of a cocktail it is perfectly good.

You don't have to drown this one with fruit juices to make it palatable.
On par with the basic Appleton "Special Gold" as a mixer but definitely much harsher and lacking all the smoothness of the Appleton
For those who think that a burning throat means an alcohol is good and strong.

A classic but somewhat different rhum. Do not dismiss this rum because you do not like agricole.

Has very little by way of vegetal/grassy notes. An excellent complex sipping rum.

Not what I normally drink but I can see where it could be nice. just not for me.

Just great. I've tried different alcohol from different countries, but this one has impressed me. The smell, the color, the taste is just off the chain. I'd recommend this to anyone, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
PS: I think if it was more expensive, people would appreciate it more

Rhum agricole très agréable à boire, simple et efficace.

Premières impressions, un nez assez léger et délicat,
En bouche, je trouve qu'il prend de l'ampleur et de la longueur avec le temps.
Un rhum sans grandes surprises aromatiques mais à conseiller tout de même pour son prix très avantageux.
