Rhum Père Labat Reserve Familiale 6 Year Review
Four cane varieties local to Guadeloupe are married in this rhum élevé sous bois. Aged for at least six years, the finish leaves a lovely blend of expressive agricole character and easy-sipping oak. It remains complex and bright throughout sipping, as the notes of maturation never overtake the rum's distinct character. We recommend mixing up a Ti' Punch.
