Since 1863 located on the island of Marie-Galante, in Grand Bourg, the small Poisson distillery elaborates agricultural ruhm very popular all over the world. Père Labat rhum pays tribute to a missionary monk known for recounting his Antillean adventures in the 17th century and for improving the functioning of the stills used at the time.
Therefore he is considered the inventor of high quality ruhm.
The sugarcane is still hand-cut and transported to the distillery on ox-drawn carts and ground within 48 hours of harvest. Fermentation takes place through the use of baking yeasts and the barrels used to refine rhum vieux are of the ex-bourbon type.
Thanks to a traditional distillation method, it is manufactured from pure sugar cane juice which gives it a unique aromatic richness. Père Labat are produced in extremely limited quantities and are therefore a highly sought after product by many collectors.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
