Chairman’s Reserve Legacy Rum 70cl 43%

PROUDLY SAINT LUCIAN!: Chairman's Reserve is Saint Lucia's premier rum and the global icon brand within St. Lucia Distillers. Created by the mid- 1990's and perfected under the watchful eye of Laurie Barnard, Chairman of the unique distillery of the carribean island, Chairman's Reserve is nowadays enjoyed all over the world. A COMPLEX BLEND : "Legacy" is a blend of rums that honours the contribution of Laurie Barnard to the creation of Chairman's Reserve and showcases the Art of Blending which was central to his philosophy. The blend contains rums from both the John Dore and Vendome pot stills, as well as our Coffey still. In addition to traditional molasses based rums the blend is freshned and balanced by the addition of sugar cane rum made entirely on our estate in Roseau. This rum is fermented using wild yeasts and is distilled in the John Dore pot still. The resulting blend is the embodiment of the vision Laurie Barnard had for St. Lucia Distillers. THE ART OF BLENDING : Laurie Barnard, the inovative Chairman behind the brand Chairman's Reserve, drove the idea of having a diversity of rums from different stills and aged in contrasting woods so that the blender would have a palate of maturates from which to create a great rum. By 1999 these elements were in place and the launch of a new rum - Chairman’s Reserve, Finest St. Lucia Rum - heralded the beginning of a new adventure of bringing premium Saint Lucian rum to the world. TASTING NOTES : Light amber mahogany core with an intense yellow rim. Sweet raisin butterscotch aromas blend harmoniously with tobacco, vanilla and banana. A slight grassy vegetal aroma from the sugar cane rum. On the palate rich hedonistic " crème brulée", vanilla and a hot gingery mouth feel. Intense and complex but with a soft easy drinking personality, the rum has a long and lingering finish. Chairman's Julep Ingredients 2 oz.
