Pere Labat 59 Rhum Agricole is crafted on Marie-Galante, a small island in Guadeloupe, using fresh-pressed sugar cane juice that's fermented and distilled within 24 hours of harvest. This rapid process, combined with distillation in a unique copper Creole column still, preserves the vibrant, grassy flavors of the sugar cane and results in a potent, characterful rhum bottled at a robust 59% ABV.

Pere Labat 59 Rhum Agricole is distilled from freshly-pressed sugarcane juice harvested on the tiny island of Marie-Galante, which has only 11,000 inhabitants but boasts three rum distilleries, giving it the highest concentration of rum production per capita in the world.

The "59" in its name isn't just a random number - it refers to the exact alcohol percentage (59% ABV) at which the distillers found the rum's flavors to be perfectly balanced, refusing to dilute it further despite industry norms.

Pere Labat's distillery uses a unique, century-old Creole column still made entirely of copper, which was salvaged from a shipwreck off the coast of Marie-Galante in the early 1900s and restored to full working order.
