3/4 oz Dudognon Cognac (Courvoisier VS)
3/4 oz Giffard Banana Liqueur (Tempus Fugit)
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/4 oz Rhum Clement Rhum Agricole (Rhum JM 100° Blanc)
1/4 oz Rich Demerara Syrup 2:1 (1:1)
1 small Lime Wedge
Squeeze lime wedge and drop into the shaker tin. Add the rest of the ingredients, whip shake with crushed ice, pour into a double old fashioned glass, fill with crushed ice, and garnish with a mint bouquet and a dried banana (plantain) slice.
(*) Yes, there is no 4 Star, only 3 and 5 Star, but my guess is that they meant 4 Year/3 Star.

No Rhum Barbancourt so took your advice and subbed Fay Wray & Nephew White Overproof. I also felt the agricole blanc (Rhum J.M 80-proof) was getting lost in the crowd so I increased it to 1/2 oz. This emphasizes the interplay of the 2 funky white rums and leaves the TF Creme de Banane more evident on the finish. Great recipe! It'd be interesting to try it with equal parts Wray White and J.M agricole blanc.
I meant Wray & Nephew for the agricole... so I would see why it would get lost that way. The aged Rhum Barbancourt is easily subbed in for any aged medium (lighter side of medium) bodied rum, but the new 110° white is really grassy and funky. It's all sugar cane juice but it's either different distillation styles and/or the effect of the aging. I never tried the older 80 or 86° white version.
