After distilling, the rum is stocked in luxurious Limousin oak barrels, as are some of the very finest cognacs. The larger pores of Limousin Oak facilitate the exchange between the rum oxygen in the surrounding air. It is in these oak barrels that Rhum Barbancourt expresses it’s unique flavor and bouquet, a subtle blending of Haiti’s sun and soil.

During the long aging process the rum is regularly blended and tested in order to ensure the quality of our traditional processes.
