The estate grows four local cane varieties — red, white, blue and gray, all hand-cut — and ferments the juice for 72 hours into a vin de canne before distillation in one of Poisson's two copper Creole column stills. The blanc then rests 10 to 15 days in open-top wooden foudres before demineralized water brings it down to proof. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rhum agricole blanc, fresh sugarcane juice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distillerie Poisson, Marie-Galante\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guadeloupe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Marie-Galante Blanc, in the Liter It Was Meant For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoisson is the oldest distillery on Marie-Galante, set on a 1,300-acre estate, and this is the blanc the island actually drinks: cane juice, a 72-hour ferment and a Creole column run, bottled at the approachable 40% rather than the 59% “local proof.” It is the natural starting point for the range before the single-parcel intensity of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pere-labat-les-mangles-single-plot-blanc-rum\"\u003ePere Labat Les Mangles\u003c\/a\u003e or the oak-aged depth of the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pere-labat-hors-dage-8-year-old-rum\"\u003eHors d'Age 8 Year Old\u003c\/a\u003e, and a cornerstone of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/rum\"\u003erum\u003c\/a\u003e shelf.
