Les Frères de la Côte Père Labat Sélection Les Frères de la Côte 2017
One taster went in with low expectations and came out pleasantly surprised — that's the mood here. Fresh cane, citrus that leans toward lemon and mandarin, a floral honey note and pepper underneath. At 59% the alcohol is loud and gives it real "peps," though a couple of members wish it were better integrated. The finish runs short. Drinks almost like a ready-made Ti Punch.
The community says- Fresh cane & citrus
- Lively pepper

Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Fresh, citrusy cask-strength agricole A young Marie-Galante agricole that wins people over on freshness and citrus. Most call it good rather than top-shelf — hot up front, short on the finish.

Review by BnBrt
Very nice discovery, I had few expectations and I'm very pleasantly surprised. Enticing nose, even if not very enveloping. Very fresh with citrus notes, almost lemon-yuzu. Quite a strong attack, the alcohol is very present, I find that it gives it pep, always on a background of acidity. A little spice on a background of pepper. Short finish, a bit of a shame, but a great experience nonetheless.
Review by Gregor
Nose: Sweet, chewy honey; floral, grass, sugar cane Palate: like the nose, still some lime, almost like a Ti Punch, not insanely complex but good, alcohol pleasant despite almost 60%
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Tres gourmand with citrus fruit, lemon and tangerine, a lovely freshness of cane and a nice roundness.
