Barbancourt Five Star Reserve Speciale 8-Year-Old Rum

"Crystalline and brilliantly clear with a profound and cloying viscosity on the glass. Very clean upon the first try leading into subsequent passes across the nose that open up to light pikake, white cotton candy and Meyer Lemon pith with a hint of fresh Kalamansi. The cloying on the glass translates nicely to an upfront cotton candy and very smooth rich, yet dry, raw sugar finish with hints of marzipan and a dash of dried candied ginger." —producer

"Intense chocolate color, with rich deep undertones, resembling fudge. Delicate floral notes with a balanced nutty, but not overpowering enjoyable cocoa aroma. The Cacao chocolate-flavored rum is creamy with mocha notes and even with an 80-proof ABV—which is part of what makes this rum so unique—it has a buttery smooth taste, highlighted by subtle notions of spice. The journey comes full circle with the accent of balanced cacao nibs and a pleasant strong coffee finish." —producer

"Kōloa Kauaʻi Coconut Rum presents itself as a white rum with a hint of Chantilly green opalescence, even and thick viscosity and well-defined, sparkling white legs. Intense coconut aromatics with light hints of roasted coconut and piña colada undertones. The initial taste is quizzically dry, probably from the pleasant 80 proof that Kōloa has kept the rum at, which then leads to the wonderful flavor of baby coconut flesh at the front of the palate. The spirit finishes with light toasted coconut, hints of fresh lime zest and the slightest bit of caramelized pineapple." —producer

"This spirit looks and pours like a rich cup of coffee with a deep brown, opaque hue surrounded by a light mahogany meniscus. Several swirls of this spirit in the glass reveal a hint of real coffee particulate that gather in the slow running amber kissed legs. Freshly ground and brewed Arabica and Robusto beans with the sweet smell of molasses, rich dark chocolate and undertones kissed with a touch of Lilikoi. This intensely rich, coffee-flavored rum is slightly lower in ABV, which facilitates the amazingly complex flavors achieved. The initial sip is a highly robust espresso coffee balanced with white cane sugar. The spirit initially presents itself as a well-crafted espresso cocktail. Then, it’s back to a dry finish of light vanilla, hints of chocolate and a wonderful coffee flavor that can only be achieved by a great barista. Second and third sips of this elixir present hints of tropical fruit, hazelnut and stone fruits in the finish. This is a remarkable spirit." —producer

"A complex blend of Copper pot still rums aged for 12 long years, this rum has a characterful nose, showing fruit cake, rum'n'raisin ice cream, cocoa, dried ginger, cinnamon, and clove. Develops baked bananas with fudge sauce and chewy toffee notes alongside vanilla oak and a deeper note of syrupy gingerbread, with hints of orange zest. The palate evokes chocolate sauce and the sweet toffee, fudge and tropical fruit flavours from the nose. Flakes of Terry's Dark Chocolate Orange sprinkled over melted vanilla ice cream. Deep, vivid, and extremely seductive flavours." —producer

"We got our start in 2002 initially distilling off-centered rums, using Rehoboth’s connection to the coast as inspiration for a great sipping rum. Over the years the hands-down local favorite has been our Brown Honey Rum, subtly sweet and smooth sipping rum. Barrel Honey Rum is an evolution of this original favorite, distilled in a manner which celebrates the unique Dogfish Head ingredients & process." —producer
