Sorry friends. I know it’s been a slow few days, but life-life has required too much of my attention to properly keep things in order here. There will be a return to normal next week.

Rum Review: Rhum Barbancourt 8
Posted on May 22nd, 2010
In all honesty I think my booze cabinet was dry of rum (with the exception of a bottle of Rogue White tucked away in the back) for nigh on 5 months or so. But last week, in the wake of several momentous life events, I decided the time was right to pick up some rum.
Now, Seattle being part of the great state of Washington, has government run liquor stores. And the selection is… mediocre, at best. One of the few things I miss about living in California is the rum selection. But I stray from the topic…
I picked up three bottles, one of which is the Rhum Barbancourt 8 year Réserve Spéciale. I wasn’t certain if this had ever been reviewed by myself or any of the old crew… but it’s a fresh start, aye? So here it is.
Barbancourt is a product of Haiti, and I’m not entirely certain that makes any difference whatsoever with the exception of the fact that most of the label is printed in both English and French (good to know, really, because wenches love a man who speaks a little frog). Barbancourt’s label proudly touts their founding in 1862, while their website calls their product “The Rum of Connoisseurs, the Cognac of Rums…”
