The Pere Labat 2004 Single Cask 13yo 45% 700ml is an exceptional rum produced at the renowned Poisson distillery in Marie Galante, Guadeloupe. Distilled using a column still, this Agricole rum is crafted from the finest sugar cane juice. It boasts a perfectly balanced and complex taste, setting it apart from other rums. The nose features intriguing notes of naturally cloudy apple juice, melon, and a hint of fermented fruit. Upon tasting, the palate unfolds with traditional Agricole notes, such as vanilla, wood, and spicy Calvados elements, offering a unique journey for your taste buds.
This rum is generous and well-framed by a solid, serious, and robust woodiness. It has a rich honey flavor that spreads across waxed oak with encaustic, creating a rustic, almost farmhouse atmosphere, tinged with animal notes. With aeration, the very ripe cane begins to sparkle above the glass, showing heavy golden and honeyed reflections. It also takes on a more vegetal side, with aromatics, tobacco, and even a certain minty freshness.
The 2004 vintage has undergone a long maturation of 13 years, resulting in a powerful and extremely rich aromatic essence. The initial taste is warm, enriched with spicy and dried fruit notes. Mid-palate, a new aroma of sweet cinnamon is discovered. The finish is long and ample, supported by peppery notes. This 2004 vintage is undoubtedly a must-try from Pere Labat.
Overall, this Pere Labat Single Cask rum is a complex and greedy rum, characterized by a very mature cane covered with layers of patina. It features a candied flavor with tannins extending into dried fruits, olives, tobacco, and waxed wood, as well as notes of herbs and greenery, all bathed in a burning sun. This rum is an artwork from the Poisson distillery and a true exploration for the senses.
