Elegant, fruity Haiti for attentive sipping Highly regarded as a balanced, elegant Haiti rum with fruity, vanilla notes and a notably long finish, even if some find the texture a touch thin for the age and price.

Exhibition review Village'25 Nuremberg Tasted at the Harmorex stand, which had some Bristol products on display. Unfortunately, like all Bristol bottlings, this one is a little too thin for me personally. Otherwise a good rum from Haiti
Review by Johannes
A small highlight of the new Bristol series. A really great, fruity Haiti with a light vanilla note.
Review by Arthur Gilliam
Longer finish than Barbancourt 15 for sure. Perfect at sub 100 propf

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
This is the reason Luca Gargano went to Haiti. The promise of the potential that barbancourt shows in little glimpse here and there. This cask is like it so promising but fails to be great. Still I like all it has to offer, it just isn't enough
