DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
• Aged rum produced by St. Lucia Distillers, Saint Lucia’s last remaining distillery, in Roseau • Produced in accordance with the Saint Lucia Rum Geographical Indication • Made from 100% molasses • Open fermented for 36–45 hours in concrete tanks using proprietary yeast and water from the Roseau River • Distilled in a combination of Coffey column and “John Dore 2” copper pot stills • Aged 7–8 years in ex–bourbon barrels; non-age statement • A wonderfully intense nose of sweet raisins and sultanas with tobacco and vanilla leads to an expressive, honeyed palate of fruit and spice • 40% ABV On May 2, 2007, St. Lucia Distillers was struck by a major fire; most of the distillery was spared but much of their storage space for aging casks was lost. In the melee that followed, the cellar master was forced to find space for aging casks in unusual places. Some were subsequently forgotten about, only to be rediscovered much later and offered as a limited release. While those original barrels have long since been bottled, the blend was so delicious that it’s been honored and replicated by aging Chairman’s Reserve Original an additional 3 years in ex-bourbon casks after blending.
