So Much Rhum, So Little Time...

The sheer volume of great Rum out there is staggering, but a few of them come to mind when we think of sipping either in a hammock or with an appendage dipped in the water. Rhum Barbancourt comes to mind a lot. Ranging from 3 to 25 years old, this Rhum delivers the goods at every level. The 15 Year old, specifically...
Here's a quintessential rum made from sugar cane juice that gives aromas of pure dark sugar cane, hints of light molasses, faint smoky tones, and true rum flavor. 15 years of aging in the year 'round warmth of Haiti for rum is like 30 years of age for Cognac in France with its chilly winters. Those 15 years that Barbancout gives this rum create exceptional smoothness, richness, and balance.
They should have called it "Yum".
