What it tastes like.

The Barbancourt family is of French origin, hence the spelling 'Rhum' on the label. Sugar cane grown at Domaine Barbancourt as well as other parts of Haiti is hand cut between November and June, then thrice milled, then fermented for about 72 hours with a proprietary strain of yeast developed in-house. Double distilled in a column still to 70% ABV, then second distillation yields a spirit of 90% ABV. The newly distilled liquor is diluted with water to 50% ABV before storing solely in French Limousin oak barrels and set aside for ageing. Before bottling, the rum is filtered to remove impurities and achieve colour clarity.

The Estate Reserve is made from pure sugar cane juice, distilled and aged in French Oak barrels for 15 years.

Nose - Amber-hued, the nose hints at vanilla with dried fruits, such as grapes and prunes.

Palate - Fruity with prune notes dominating in a fine and elegant manner.

Finish - Long, rich and complex, but not overbearing. Notes of dried fruits.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Port Phillip Estate

Victoria

"Port Phillip Estate was established at Red Hill on the Mornington Peninsula in 1987. The 24-hectare estate vineyard sits on south-facing slopes, planted predominantly to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with smaller plots of Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz. The Gjergja family acquired the estate in 2000, alongside neighbouring Kooyong Estate, and rebuilt the cellar door and winery.
