Poisson Père Labat - Soleil 100cl bottle
Bottle

Poisson Père Labat - Soleil

Fresh sugarcane, cut grass and a light citrus lift — a classic Marie-Galante agricole with a soft vanilla edge from a few months in French oak. At 55% it's built for ti'punch, and members say it shines there, but several sip it neat too and find it fruity and balanced. One taster flags a faint ammonia note on the nose; most don't mind.

  • Fresh cane & grass

The look inside the bottle

How does Poisson Père Labat - Soleil taste?

Aggregated from 10 community reviews.

Grassy Marie-Galante agricole, great in ti'punch The recurring verdict: a genuinely good agricole that punches above its weight, great in ti'punch and better neat than you'd expect. A quirky nose divides a couple of tasters.

Perfect for

agricole fans and ti'punch drinkers

Less suitable for

anyone wanting sweet, soft, oak-heavy rum

#5699 20.09.2025 Tasting with the guys and I really like it. Nose Fresh, fruity, banana, light citrus, light spice, faint grass, light mineral. Palate Light oily, fresh, fruity, light salt, sugarcane, light grass, light spice, faint floral, minerals, faint wood, citrus. Finish Medium long, fresh, light oily, floral, citrus, faint wood, light vanilla, light grass. Despite this being a rum made for a ti'punch it's also a very good sipping rum. The price tag is also really good.

Previous tasting, I'm not a fan of Père Labat, but this time it was more balanced towards citrus. Nice as a ti punchw

Absolutely crass good agricole! Price performance really extremely good and the few months in the barrel enhance the already good rhum enormously. A board in ti punch!

Lovely fruity on the palate. Something on the nose we don't like: I get maybe ammonia and BBB says tailsey bandaids? Still a good thing.

Marie Galante 

Avg Rating 8.4/10 over 420 Rums

Marie Galante is a small round island off Guadeloupe that punches far above its size in rum. Known as the island of a hundred windmills, it makes powerful, high-proof agricole, often bottled at 59 percent and up, from three working distilleries. For agricole lovers it is one of the most characterful corners of the French rum world.
