Pere Labat Reserve Familiale is an agricultural rum produced at the Poisson distillery, located on the island of Marie-Galante. The production process is steeped in tradition: sugar canes are cut by hand and transported to the distillery in ox-drawn carts. These canes are then crushed within 48 hours, and the vesou (sugarcane juice) ferments for 48 to 72 hours before being distilled in a red copper Creole column.
This rum pays tribute to Pere Labat, a 17th-century French clergyman renowned for inventing a method for producing rum from sugarcane juice in the French Antilles in the Caribbean. The Pere Labat Rhum Eleve Sous Bois Reserve is a darker-hued spirit, indicating that it has been aged for a more extended period after distillation. It is matured in oak casks for several years, resulting in a rich, fruity flavor profile with notes of candied fruits, dried fruits, and herbaceous tones.
Zesty citrus notes are a hallmark of the Pere Labat brand, and the Reserve Familiale is no exception. This rum offers a harmonious, full-bodied taste with hints of coffee, vanilla, and a touch of oak. The palate is treated to a subtle peppery sensation, followed by a smooth, velvety texture with a long-lasting finish.
The Pere Labat Reserve Familiale is versatile and can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed in cocktails and long drinks. Its complexity and maturity have earned it recognition among connoisseurs, making it a well-regarded and respected rum in the world of spirits.
