Rum Saint Lucia 750ml Chairman's Reserve Original

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.
RUM BLEND:
A marriage of aged rums distilled from Coffey and pot stills
MATURATION:
Aged separately by batch and type of still in ex-Bourbon
barrels, then blended and rested in oak vats for an
additional six months. Average age of the blend is 5 years.
TASTING NOTES:
Rich dark amber in color, typical pot still richness comes
through the aromas carried by whiffs of cooked banana,
caramelized fruits and spicy oak derived vanilla. A wellbalanced mid-palate provides structure around flavors
of chocolate, golden raisin, tobacco and clove, which
dissipates over a long creamy finish.
