Chairman's Reserve Spiced Rum, St Lucia

A classic Caribbean Spiced Rum hailing from St. Lucia, the country most associated with the category

The base rum for this spirit was produced in the traditional Coffey column still, one of the four stills used at St. Lucia Distillers and the same still used to produce the Admiral Rodney brand
The rum is then macerated with 'Bois Bande', a local Caribbean bark culturally known for its aphrodisiac qualities
Local spices and fruits such as cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, allspice, lemon, and orange peels are added with a touch of sugar to round out the flavour
The result is a Spiced Rum with zero artificial flavourings that's a cut above a lot of its better known competitors
Excellent for mixing, try this with fresh lime juice, grapefruit juice and, of course, a splash of Ting grapefruit soda

St Lucia Distillers Group of Companies emerged from a tradition of the on-site, house-special rum production that was a common feature of the West Indian sugar plantation. SugarÂ's by-product, molasses was fermented and distilled to rum, the demand for which has been a constant through the fluctuations of West Indian plantation economies. By the late 1950s, two distilleries remained, one at Dennery, the site of the Barnard family plantation, and the other Geest-owned at Roseau, the location of the now St Lucia Distillers Group of Companies. St Lucia Distillers Group of Companies was formed in 1972 when the two distilleries amalgamated producing a now-discontinued blend of rum whose name reflected the merger, Denros Bounty Rum. The Barnard family bought out the Geest shares in 1992 and in 1997 sold shares to Trinidad-based Angostura Ltd., giving the company a wider regional presence and the capital to pursue the product development philosophy which has since characterised St Lucia Distillers Group of Companies. In 2005 the Barnard family, planters and rum distillers for over a century sold to CLICO, with third generation rum-maker Laurie Barnard staying on as Managing Director. St Lucia Distillers Group of Companies, in the thirty nine (39) years since its inception, has grown from producing a single-label mass-market rum to a portfolio of premium rums and liqueurs. Today, St Lucia Distillers Group of Companies boasts a range of over 25 rum and rum-related products which have performed exceptionally and won honours at international competitions.
