About Barbancourt
In 1862, Dupre Barbancourt, a native of Charente in France, put the finishing touches to a recipe for rum that still bears his name today. Using his homeland's double distillation method usually reserved for the very finest cognacs, he distills a unique product of incomparably quality which will regulary be recongnized and receive the highest international distinctions, even today.
Originally, in 1862, the Maison Barbancourt did not produce its own cane juice; it distilled its rum from clairin, sugar cane juice, purchased from the limited number of suppliers who's product met Monsieur Barbancourt's rigorous selection criteria, for example l'Habitation Prince, a former holding of the Prince of Rohan.
Today, over 600 hectares of land are exclusively dedicated to sugar cane cultivation for Rhum Barbancourt, counting the 20% of which are on Domaine Barbancourt's own plantations. Societe du Rhum Barbancourt employs 250 persons and its direct & indirect rum production activities are responsible for the livelihood of 20,000 persons. Despite the modern installations, Societe du Rhum Barbancourt, the eldest of Hatian industries, continues to produce rum in the purest tradition in line with every point in Monsieur Dupre Barbancourt's original recipe.
Rhum Barbancourt Is one of the most decorated rum in history as witnessed by the gallery awards featured on www.barbancourt.net. You will find some of these medals printed on our lables, confirming the exeptional and unequaled character of this rum.
