Vibrant medium gold core with bronze rim. Sweet raisins with definite toasty oak notes, leather, spice and tobacco on the nose. Rich sultana fruit with hints of crème caramel and buttery oak on the palate. A long complex finish – at first sweet raisin fruit then dry and tannic from the oak. A hint of grassy aromatic sweetness from the sugar cane distillate gives a unique, hedonistic but balanced element to the rum.

1931 – A Celebration of over 80 Years of Saint Lucian Rum Making is the latest addition to St. Lucia Distiller’s Chairman’s Reserve brand. This rum celebrates the inauguration of a new distillery in February 1931 on the east coast of Saint Lucia, near Dennery in St. Lucia. The Distillery was founded by Denis Barnard and produced rum until 1972 when St. Lucia Distillers was formed out of the merging of the Dennery distillery and the Roseau Distillery. The Dennery distillery was closed as a result of the amalgamation but rum making continues at Roseau on the west coast of Saint Lucia.
