With only 3024 bottles available, this rum is a unique and noteworthy addition to any collection. It is produced from sugar cane juice using a column still and aged for 11 years, with an ABV of 42%. The rum's aging process includes a first aging phase of 8 years in bourbon barrels, followed by an additional 3 years in cognac casks that have been toasted in three different ways.

The Pere Labat Black Opus stands as a testament to the distillery's expertise and commitment to traditional methods.
In terms of taste, the Pere Labat Black Opus is smooth and thick, with exotic fruit flavors and candied citrus peel. Sweet spices complement the cane juice, which offers a soft woody taste.
