A 2004 vintage Barbancourt from Haiti, bottled by England’s Bristol Classic Rum at twelve years, distilled from fresh sugar-cane juice and matured in ex-bourbon oak, bottled at 43%.
Description
Bristol Barbancourt Reserve 2004 brings together Barbancourt, Haiti's most famous cane juice distillery, and Bristol Classic Rum, the long-running English bottler known for closed-distillery and vintage releases. It is a 2004 distillate bottled at twelve years.
Barbancourt works from fresh-pressed sugar-cane juice, agricole in spirit even though the legal term is reserved for the French islands, and double distils for a refined house style. After twelve years in ex-bourbon casks the profile typically pairs a grassy cane core with vanilla, baking spice, cocoa and gentle oak, drier and more structured than sweet molasses rum. Bottled at 43%.
