Chairman's Reserve - Legacy - 43%
Chairman’s Reserve is an exceptional rum crafted by the renowned St. Lucia Distillers Group Ltd, located on the paradisiacal island of Saint Lucia in the beautiful Caribbean. The Barnard family first settled in Saint Lucia in the 1930s, laying the foundations of an iconic distillery. They began producing artisanal rum from molasses derived from the vast local sugarcane plantations, a craft passed down through generations. Facing growing competition from European sugar beet, the island's sugar industry inevitably declined, prompting the last two distilleries to merge into a joint venture that became the famous St. Lucia Distillers. Laurie Barnard, a legendary figure, breathed new life into Saint Lucia's rum heritage by creating the iconic Chairman’s Reserve brand. Since the closure of the island's sugar plantations in the 1960s, the distillery has carefully sourced rich, quality molasses from British Guiana, ensuring consistent excellence.
Chairman’s Legacy is a vibrant tribute to Laurie Barnard, the visionary "Chairman" of St. Lucia Distillers, whose passion and expertise gave birth to the famous Chairman’s Reserve brand. This masterpiece is a refined blend of rums carefully aged between 5 and 8 years in an ideal tropical climate. Each batch is aged separately according to the different types of stills used, exclusively in ex-Bourbon barrels, thus imparting the rum with unique aromatic complexity and richness. This traditional aging method allows Chairman’s Legacy to stand out as a premium rum sought after by connoisseurs worldwide.
