Chairman's Reserve Original Rum

Chairman’s Reserve was first blended in 1999, overseen by then Chairman, Laurie Barnard, as a special project to create a fine quality rum that can represent the iconic style of St. Lucian rum. As a simple line of distinction, Chairman’s Reserve starts with selected aged rums of both Coffey column stills and copper pot stills, married together after maturation, and then re-entered into oak for blending and final finishing. The end result has become the flagship St. Lucian rum known for its harmonious, well-rounded finesse and style with tremendous character for cocktails and sipping experiences.

The flagship expression from St. Lucia Distillers is a quintessential starting point for aged Saint Lucian rum. It is aged 4–5 years in ex–bourbon barrels and has a rich, dark amber color. The richness comes through on the nose with aromas of sweet honeyed fruit, cooked banana and spicy vanilla from the oak. A well balanced mid-palate provides structure around flavors of chocolate, golden raisin, tobacco and clove, which dissipates over a long creamy finish. Chairman’s Reserve is best enjoyed with coconut water but can be enjoyed neat or with a chaser of your choice. -Distiller's Notes
