Chairman's Reserve Original | Saint Lucian Aged Rum | 70cl, 40% ABV

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. FINEST SAINT LUCIA RUM : A fine quality rum that can represent the iconic style of St.Lucian rum. As a simple line of distinction, Chairman's Reserve Original starts with selected aged rums of both Coffey Column stills and copper pot stills, married together after maturation, and then re-entered into oak for blending and final finishing. The end result has become the flagship St. Lucian rum known for its harmonious well-rounded finess and style with tremendous character. Best enjoyed Neat or in Cocktail 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 : Rich dark amber in color, typical pot still richness comes through the aromas carried by whiffs of cooked, banana, caramelized fruits and spicy oak derived vanilla. A well balanced mid-palate provides structure around flavors of chocolate, golden raisin, tobacco and clove, which dissipates over a long creamy finish .
