Romdeluxe Barbancourt Collectors Series No. 5 BMHC 2004
Open in the app
"Quite promising on the nose," as one taster put it — red fruits, vanilla and caramel over a light herbal, vegetal edge that's typical Barbancourt. This 17-year Haitian cane-juice rum runs dry and spicy on the palate, with licorice and oak. The 60% is beautifully hidden; most say you'd never guess cask strength. A few find the finish a touch short and the mouth more bitter than the nose promises.
The community says- Alcohol well integrated
- Fruity, floral nose
- But: Short finish

How does Romdeluxe Barbancourt Collectors Series No. 5 BMHC 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Dry, herbal aged Barbancourt sipper Well-liked older Barbancourt: fruity, floral nose and a dry, spicy palate with well-buried alcohol. The catch — the finish runs short and a couple found it bitter, not fully round.

02.11.2024 retasting at an Romdeluxe tasting event. --------------- A nice rum with a long lightly dry finish. Lightly fruity with spices and lovely oak, caramel and chocolate. Very light vegetal and licorice notes in there as well. Price to quality is very good in my mind.

A 17-year-old Barbancourt sounds very exciting. After 17 years of barrel maturation, the distillate is more simple than complex. Sweet throughout with baking spices, vanilla and cookie dough. Bright fruits, somewhat damp and woody. Burnt sugar in the short finish. The alcohol is well integrated. A good rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Super relaxed to drink barbancourt. Very balanced and delicious. Definitely one of the best representatives of the 2004 vintage in my opinion. Just doesn't quite come close to the best Rum Artesanal for me so far.
Review by Mentalo
Ich mag Barbancourt ganz gerne und die Romdeluxe Abfüllung kann nicht zwar nicht mit meinem Benchmark von RA mithalten, aber ist trotzdem ganz gefällig. Leichte Honigsüße, etwas fruchtig (Birne), leicht pflanzlich. Alkohol ist ok eingebunden.
Review by Frank
A beautiful, old Barbancourt with 60%. Let's see. Nose: fine aromas, not pungent. Sweetish-spicy and slightly floral. Sugar syrup and caramel give a pleasant sweetness, raisin and bergamot with some lime and gooseberry the fruitiness. I also find vanilla and something that reminds me of candle wax. Quite pleasing. 8,0 Palate: here rather strong and spicy-woody with less fruit. Initially bitter and salty with nutmeg and caraway, then metallic with lemon zest and a hint of gooseberry. Very dry overall. Herbs and gooseberry or something similar on the finish. 7,8 Interesting overall, but not round and too bitter on the palate.

Very tasty!
Review by Alexander Rasch
Quite interesting, especially in the nose beautiful fruit aromas with light herbs. Reminiscent of herbal sweets from the Christmas market. More spice and herbs on the palate. Accompanied by a sugary spiciness the whole time. Beautifully balanced.
Review by Johannes
I don't find the alcohol well integrated, somewhat pungent. Long finish, which is also very alcoholic. The middle section is good, but seems very young, could do with longer storage.

Farba zlato žltá, kvapky pomaly stekajú na stene, vôna mandle sušené ovocie mango, ananas, chuť dominuje tropicke ovocie mango, ananás sladkosť, mierna horkosť, mandle drevnatosť, v úvode náznak trávovitosti, stredne dlhý ovocný záver. Vôbec by som nepovedal že má 60% dobre integrovaný alkohol

Review by Hood
Pas mal de fûts ont été détruits par le tremblement de terre de 2010 mais pas celui-ci. 228 bouteilles. Au nez, on retrouve la vanille souvent présente dans les Barbancourt, mais avec un mélange de caramel et d'épices. En bouche, c'est très floral voir végétal, toujours avec cette touche de caramel. Un peu de réglisse aussi. Les 60° sont très bien intégrés, on les sent pas. La finale est sympa, assez douce, mais elle pourrait être plus longue. Il y a une touche de boisé qui vient à la fin. Le résultat est très gourmand, on lui donnerait 10 ou 15° de moins.
Review by Jordan Signor
Quite promising on the nose, loads of red fruits, grenadine syrup, some buttery notes, tropical fruits and a fainting earthy note. Slightly deceived by the mouth and finish, more driven by menthol, vanilla and wood than the nose. Eventually though, round and rich, but not long enough.
