    Since the unfortunate situation in Haiti has continued to become more and more unfortunate, I went out and bought 4 bottles of RB 5 Star. It's a beautiful Rhum, and there's really nothing else like it. May God be with the poor people of Haiti 🇭🇹

    I cannot find any Barbancourt nearby, been using Agricole instead, any reccomendations if barbancourt isn't an option?

    Also, hoping for peace in Haiti soon.

    that's the first tiki drink i created at home… first recipe i tried from the SC book… it blew my mind. Instantly my tiki fever started with this drink 🙂

    This is a great one to swap with rhum agricole. I used Holmes cay and upped the Falernum a lil and it turned out amazing. Here was my build:

    1 1/2 oz Holmes Cay grand arôme
    1/4 oz Lemonhart 151
    3/4 oz JDT Falernum
    1/2 oz Pineapple juice
    1/2 oz lime juice
    1/4 oz Grenadine
    1 dash Tiki bitters

    Here to boost the algo! Barbancourt is a very underrated rum. Looking forward to trying this one!

    A good one for my bottle of Rhum Vieux Labbé 5-Star!

    • 3 months ago

    Used another aged rum I had on hand, and the result was still fantastic!

    Another example of why I love this channel- obtainable ingredients, straightforward technique, and excellent results. I used to love to drink rum neat, but these cocktails are just so much fun.

    Awesome video, as always Derek. And yes! Please make a video about the types of ice, I can't get a nugget ice machine, I'd love to hear more about it.

    So I ordered the 4, 8 and 15 year Barbancourts… since it has been "in the works" for some time now. Would you say that this drink is a good one to really notice the differences in the three? I know I won't like any of them neat (but will try) but if you have a better cocktail than this to bring out the differences in the three, I'm all ears 😀

    I'm not a rum connoisseur but I feel I am gaining a fair bit of knowledge (and know how) from here

    Great ice talk!

    I was introduced to Barbancourt 5 Star when I used to go to Haiti on a tugboat. I was given bottles of it, and thought nothing of it, as i never opened them. Then some old salts heard I went to Haiti a bunch of times, asked did I try the local elixir of Barbancourt? I said no, they're at the house, still sealed. Well i went home and loved it immediately, then discovered the Estate Reserve 15 year old! Its been my #1 for almost thirty years.🥂

    I do find it annoying when the ice floats to the top and you just see liquid on the bottom. What I do (regardless of what ice I use) I fill the glass 3/4 of the way to the top with crushed ice or pebble ice (it doesn't make a difference which one) and then I shake the cocktail with the crushed or pebble ice (depending on which one I filled in the glass already) and then I just simply open pour into the glass and top off with more of that ice. The only ice I haven't figured out yet is the normal square golf ball sized ice cubes that you typically stack in a collins glass, it's harder to prevent those ice cubes from rising.

    I’m looking forward to you comparing ice, that’s driving me nuts!
