Agricole Rums are popular on French speaking islands within the Caribbean. As opposed to most molasses-based rums, they are produced by distilling sugar cane juice (or honey). Barbancourt is produced from sugar cane juice and is definitely a cane juice rum. Haiti's largest export is rum. Barbancourt is essentially the only rum being exported from the island nation. It is a testament to their commitment to quality. Made in a very similar style to the AOC rums of its neighbors Martinique and Guadeloupe, Barbancourt 5 Star is fresh and light on its feet, has all the intensity of a great Agricole Rum without the funky undertones. Barbancourt or 5 stars as this particular rum is more popularly known has gained popularity (especially in the US) from its associations with hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean who as well as being a successful solo artist was also in the “ground breaking” (doing versions of other people’s songs seemingly) hip hop trio The Fugees.
