Père Labat Réserve Familiale

Père Labat Réserve Familiale is an agricole rum made at the Poisson distillery on the island of Marie-Galante, from pure sugar cane juice. The canes are harvested by hand and pressed quickly, and the juice ferments slowly for 48 to 72 hours before distillation in a copper Creole column still. It blends two rums in equal parts: one aged three years in an oak foudre, the other five years in oak casks, matured in a tropical climate. The nose offers candied citrus, fresh cane and oak with vanilla, soft spice and pastry. The palate is supple and velvety, with peppery cane, vanilla, brown sugar and ripe fruit. The finish is long, with hints of molasses, spice and light wood.
