Description
What type of spirit it is
Chairman’s Reserve Original Rum by Saint Lucia Distillers is a Caribbean dark rum from Saint Lucia, crafted from Guyanese molasses. Triple distilled in column and pot stills and aged in ex-bourbon oak, it presents a harmonious profile where vanilla, caramel, and tropical fruit merge with toasted oak. This smooth 40% ABV spirit delivers a warming, creamy finish accented by tobacco and gentle spice, making it highly versatile as a digestif served neat or mixed with coconut water in premium cocktails.
Where it comes from
Originating in the Roseau Valley on Saint Lucia, this spirit benefits from a maritime climate and lush inland hills, providing an ideal environment for maturation. Produced by St. Lucia Distillers, the blend was developed under Laurie Barnard to seamlessly unite diverse distillates. Chairman’s Reserve Original Rum has earned immense global recognition for its technical precision. Among its accolades, it proudly holds a Gold Medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, affirming its high standing in major spirits competitions.
How it is produced
Fermentation utilises multiple yeast strains to develop character and aromatic depth. The spirit undergoes a triple distillation process, combining continuous column stills with traditional pot stills to yield distinct batches. These spirits mature for approximately five years in ex-bourbon American oak casks, including barrels from Buffalo Trace, Jim Beam, and Jack Daniel’s. Following a careful blending process, the rum rests for an additional six months in oak casks, allowing the flavours to integrate into a balanced and structured profile.
