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.

confirming the exeptional and unequaled character of this
rum.
