Rhum Barbancourt was founded in 1862 in Haiti, one of the most fertile regions of the Caribbean. The founder, Dupré Barbancourt, combined the traditions of cognac production—double distillation and aging in oak barrels—with local conditions, creating a unique rum with a distinctive character.
What sets the brand apart is its proprietary hybrid sugarcane variety (Madame Mevs), grown in Haiti, which provides a rich array of aromas. Produced in collaboration with more than 3,000 local farmers, these rums represent the perfect balance of tradition and modern expertise.
Today, under the leadership of fifth-generation head Delphine Gardère, Barbancourt is growing dynamically on an international scale while preserving its heritage. The brand is committed to sustainability: its energy supply is self-sustaining and based on renewable sources, and it aims to achieve carbon neutrality in the near future.
Rhum Barbancourt is the perfect blend of tradition, terroir, and innovation—a true premium rum from Haiti.
