PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Barbancourt 3-Star (4 Years) is a refined Haitian agricole rum made from fresh sugarcane juice, aged four years in oak. It strikes a balance between youthful vibrancy and smooth maturation — fresh cane sweetness, citrus lift, gentle oak spice, and vanilla tones. Good both for sipping neat and mixing where a rum with character (but not overbearing heaviness) is wanted.

| Nose / Aroma | Fresh sugarcane, grassy and herbal notes; vanilla; citrus (lime, tart citrus); some spice and oak giving toffee or light caramel undertones. |
| Palate / Taste | Sweet cane character up front; wood influence brings vanilla and mild tannin, touches of oak spice; citrus and herbal freshness; light to moderate body, not overly heavy; balanced between sweetness and woody/mild spice richness. |

Pure sugarcane-juice base (agricole style) gives Barbancourt 3-Star a freshness & grassy/herbal DNA that distinguishes it from molasses rums.
The 4 years aging is enough to introduce oak, vanilla, spice, and maturity, but still leaves room for youthful vibrancy; good for people who want some aging without the heaviness of older rums.
Versatile: strong enough to be sipped, mellow enough to mix in cocktails (especially ones where cane notes or citrus/herbal lift are welcome).
Good value: often praised in reviews/rum-communities as one of the more accessible aged agricoles with quality.
Neat or with a large ice cube so you can appreciate the sugarcane, oak, and citrus interplay.
Cocktails: great in Daiquiris, Mai Tais, or rum-based Tiki drinks where cane and vanilla lift up other ingredients. Also works in rum & ginger or rum & citrus spritzers.
Pair with food: grilled meats, spicy Caribbean food, citrus marinades, tropical fruit desserts; cheese plates also work (soft or medium cheeses).
Bottle Size: All bottles are 750ML/700ML unless otherwise noted.
21 and Over: Adult Signature Required
