Chairman's Reserve - Legacy - 43%
Chairman’s Reserve is a rum produced by St. Lucia Distillers Group Ltd on the island of Santa Lucia in the West Indies. The Barnard family first settled in Santa Lucia in the 1930’s and established their distillery by making rum from the molasses produced by the island’s massive sugar plantations. Due to the rise of the European sugar beet, the local sugar industry was forced into extinction and the last two distilleries formed a joint venture to consolidate their operations, creating what is known today as St. Lucia Distillers. Laurie Barnard took it upon himself to restore Santa Lucia’s rum providence and created Chairman’s Reserve. Since the last sugar plantation on the island closed in the 1960’s, they are sourcing rich molasses from British Guyana.
Chairman’s Legacy is a tribute to Laurie Barnard, the “Chairman” of St. Lucia Distillers whom inspired and created the iconic brand Chairman’s Reserve. The Legacy is a blend of rums aged between 5 and 8 years, tropically aged separately by batch and still type in ex-Bourbon barrels.
