Barbancourt Rum Artesanal Haiti Rum 2004
Give it 30 minutes in the glass and it wakes up into a proper fruit bomb — mango, mandarin, dried apricot over cut grass, licorice and dark cocoa. One member sips it neat as a "Fruchtbombe," others knock a point off because the 58.9% heat isn't always tucked away cleanly. Cane-juice Barbancourt with real vegetal, mineral character.

Deutlich anders als der Rum Cask. Banane und eine gewisse Cremigkeit sind in der Nase. Alkohol finde ich Solala eingebunden. Aber auch endlich mal ein bisschen Abwechslung zu den sonst übrigen Profilen. Ich mag den!! Für mich auch einen Punkt besser als der Rum Cask da einfach mehr passiert im Mund. Die Nase beim Rum Cask deutlich besser

In der Nase zeigen sich Karamell, Honig, Vanille und etwas brauner Zucker. Am Gaumen setzt sich die süße Ausrichtung mit Toffee, kandierten Früchten und dezenten Holznoten fort. Der Rum wirkt insgesamt ausgewogen und gut trinkbar, entwickelt für meinen Geschmack jedoch nur wenig Tiefe und Komplexität. Der Abgang ist von einer spürbaren alkoholischen Schärfe geprägt, die die Süße begleitet und etwas Länge kostet.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,9:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity with citrus/lemon peel, dried apricots and roasted wood, caramel, vanilla. They are yellow, coming from bourbon barrel ageing. When aired, it becomes thicker, buttery, spicy, there are vegetal notes as hay, flowers, mint and herbs. Some tropical fruits with mango appear. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is fruity and spicy with tropical, yellow fruits, becomes woody, dry, the sugar cane is mineral and honeyed. There are vegetal notes with olive, grass and mint. After well rested, some metallic notes crawl in, the wood is roasted, there is some licorice, cocoa and brown sugar. Tasty apricot and lemon peel also join the teater. 8,1:The finish is long with honeyed and mineral sugar cane, woody, dry and fruity with citruses, yellow fruits and banana, vegetal with mint. Edit:15.5.26

Schöne aromen. Finde jedoch den Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden. So das elicht beißt
Review by Timo Groeger
Ja der RA ist echt klasse. Schöne Nase mit dezenten Noten aus Vanille und Karamell. Am Faumen dann ebenfalls Vanille und Karamell, außerdem leicht trocken, aber superlecker. Alkohol super eingebunden. Danke an Dr. Django für dieses Sample.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Schön fruchtig. Der Alkohol hätte allerdings für eine Top-Bewertung etwas besser integriert sein müssen.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
danke an Oli für den Tipp mit stehen lassen, absoluter Hammer was hier für ne Fruchtbombe entsteht!💯 für mich aktuell nach wie vor einer der besten barbancourts auf dem Markt.
Review by Oliver
After 30 minutes, the rum really takes off. 🚀
Review by Pavel Spacek
Rounded, full taste, but... come on - I dont like this destination rum profile...
Review by Frank
19. Tag im Weihnachtskalender. Blind! Muss man schon mal im Glas gehabt haben, um auf Haiti zu kommen... Beißend-frisch und fruchtig-blumig-würzig in der Nase, frisch geschnittenes Gras, leicht holzig-harzig, Mandarine und etwas Kirsche. Leicht vinegar aber auch irgendwie buttrig. Auch Menthol ist dabei. Am Gaumen doch zuerst würzig frisch, Safran oder so. Es kommt das leicht süßlich-grüne Zuckerrohr durch. Eine nicht leicht zu bestimmende Fruchtigkeit, ein Hauch Kirsche vielleicht? Dann Aber klar Süßholz oder Lakritz. Leicht bittere Lakritz bleibt auch im Abgang. Schönes Geschmacksprofil.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Positively surprised, a little alcoholic, but otherwise very tasty, with slightly fruity hints, hidden behind floral notes. Like most rums from the house RA worth a purchase.
Review by Wernie
Verkostet mit seinem 18y Bruder. Dieser hier ist,nachdem er sich geöffnet hat, etwas floraler und blumiger. Geschmacklich sehe ich ihn einen Tick vor seinem Bruder,der mir ein weig zu sehr ins bittere abgleitet, am ende steht es unentschieden auf hohen Niveau.
Review by Daniel
Verdict: dry, slightly peppery and clearly dark cocoa. With subtle honey sweetness to the pleasant drinking strength. However, a little complexity is missing.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Ročník 2004. S 8,0 z 10 jde o velmi dobrou lahev, byť ne špičku mého žebříčku.
Review by Hans
Stark und intensiv. Eiche im Abgang und schöne Aromen. Recht süß aber lecker. Keine spezielle Geschmacksnote. Kann man kaufen
