In 2018, Distillerie Poisson planted organic sugarcane on a pristine plot of land constantly swept by the winds of Marie-Galante. This is terroir-driven, natural rum: the cane was hand-harvested and distilled on copper Creole column stills after a longer-than-usual fermentation lasting more than 115 hours — the first rhum produced by Distillerie Poisson to be certified organic and labeled as such, bottled at still strength.
Rhum Père Labat is distilled on the island of Marie-Galante, part of Guadeloupe, where the distillery, aging facilities, and estate sugarcane fields sit on more than 1,300 acres. Producing rum since the early 1900s, Père Labat uses estate and locally grown sugarcane varieties native to the island; as rhum agricole, the spirits are produced from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice rather than molasses. The distillery is the oldest on Marie-Galante and houses one of the oldest stills in the Caribbean.
