Rhum Barbancourt Pango Rum
Rhum Barbancourt Pango Rum is Haiti's legendary agricole distiller gone tropical: aged rhum agricole — distilled from pure sugar cane juice, not molasses — hand-blended with natural mango and pineapple. This 750mL bottle is 35% ABV (70 proof) and is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
The Société du Rhum Barbancourt, founded by Dupré Barbancourt in 1862 near Port-au-Prince, Haiti, distills its rhum twice — cognac-style, in copper pot and Charentais alembic — and ages it in French Limousin oak. For Pango, that aged dark rhum agricole is hand blended with natural mango, pineapple, and a touch of secret spice, giving the bottle a genuine rum backbone underneath the tropical fruit — the agricole cane character lingers alongside the fruit rather than disappearing under it.
Tasting notes: pleasant fruity aromas on the nose — fresh mango and pineapple over a grassy agricole base; a refreshingly smooth, fruit-forward palate with a hint of spice; a tangy, clean tropical finish with the cane character hanging on at the end.
Why buy Rhum Barbancourt Pango? Because most flavored rums are built on neutral spirit, while this one starts with genuinely great aged rhum agricole. Pour a mango or pineapple daiquiri, a tropical rum punch, or just mix with pineapple juice or ginger beer — and browse the full rum collection, the Rhum Barbancourt brand collection, and the cocktails collection for mixers.
Serving note: enjoy on the rocks for full fruit-and-cane character, or shake into tropical cocktails where its lower ABV makes it a sessionable mixer.
What makes Pango different from other flavored rums? It is built on aged rhum agricole distilled from pure sugar cane juice — not molasses or neutral spirit — so the rum's grassy, terroir-driven character comes through under the mango and pineapple.
