Rhum Barbancourt Liberte Libete Limited Edition Rum
Rhum Barbancourt Liberte Libete Limited Edition Rum is a limited-edition 86-proof (43% ABV), 700mL Haitian agricole rum — an 8-year-old expression created to honor the 220th anniversary of Haitian independence, double-distilled from fresh sugarcane juice and aged in French oak. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Barbancourt has made rhum in Haiti since 1862, and it remains one of the great names in agricole rum: fresh-pressed sugarcane juice (never molasses), double distillation in the Charentais tradition, and long aging in French oak. The Liberte cuvee takes that house style and gives it eight full years in barrel for the anniversary bottling — a collector-grade rhum with the grassy, fruity depth that only cane-juice rum develops, rounded by nearly a decade of oak.
Tasting profile: fresh cane, dried tropical fruit, and vanilla-oak on the nose; rich and structured on the palate with spice, cocoa, and cane honey; a long, elegant finish. Browse the Rhum Barbancourt collection, more rum, and the full spirits collection.
Serving note: sip neat to appreciate eight years of French oak — or pour over a single cube as a special-occasion dram.
