It blends molasses and agricole rums distilled in both Coffey and pot stills, then ages them in ex-bourbon and ex-port casks. The result is a gold-bronze rum with honeyed raisins, toasty oak and a dry, tannic finish, bottled at 46% ABV and presented in a decanter-style bottle with a wooden stopper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSt Lucia Distillers was established in 1931 by Denis Barnard and has become one of Saint Lucia’s most cherished producers. The distillery is based at Roseau and makes a wide range of rums from molasses, including the Chairman’s Reserve family. This bottling pays tribute to Barnard’s rum philosophy and craft, and to the year the story began.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blend combines rums made from molasses with rums distilled from sugarcane juice in the agricole style. Spirit from Coffey column stills and traditional pot stills is aged in ex-bourbon and ex-port casks, which add oak structure, dried-fruit richness and gentle spice before the rums are married and bottled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honeyed raisins and vibrant toasted oak, with hints of leather, spice and tobacco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet sultana fruit and crème caramel with buttery oak, drying into tannic oak flavours.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry and tannic from the casks, with a grassy, aromatic sweetness from the sugarcane distillate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to enjoy it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a rum for sipping neat or with a few drops of water, in a tulip or snifter glass, so the oak and dried fruit can open up.
