Pere Labat Hors d'Age 8 Year Old Rum (75cl, 42%)

A rhum agricole vieux from Distillerie Poisson on Marie-Galante, Guadeloupe, distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice and aged eight years in 200L oak barrels in the tropical island climate. It is bottled at 42% ABV in a 750ml bottle with no additives. Poisson is the oldest distillery on Marie-Galante, set on a 1,300-acre estate, and Hors d'Age is the top of its regular range. Eight Caribbean years cost each cask roughly 40% of its volume to evaporation. It brings pepper and green cane folded into caramel, tobacco, dried fruit and toasted wood, with a long, warm finish.
