Chairman's Reserve Legacy
If you're a true Chairman's Reserve rum lover, be sure to add one of the brand's gorgeous t-shirts to your cart.
Rum Chairman’s Legacy was created and named in honor of Laurie Barnard, the very “boss” of the St. Lucia Distillers, who inspired and created the iconic Chairman's Reserve brand. His vision was to rediscover the charm of rum from St. Lucia and bring something that had not been seen in the rum world for a long time.
While other distilleries were purchasing column stills to increase production, Laurie invested in eclectic types of barrels, small pot stills, his own yeast strain, and sugarcane. He believed that the best rum could not be found in just one barrel, but could be created by blending various components including rums of different ages, finishes, styles, and base ingredients.
Thus, blended rum Chairman's Legacy is the result of the art of blending pot and column rums. Unlike traditional rums with a molasses base, it also contains a portion of rum made from sugarcane juice as Laurie’s trademark, who began cultivating sugarcane around the distillery to obtain the now-famous yeast of the Chairman's Reserve brand.
Aged in tropical climatic conditions in bourbon barrels and the resulting blend was created by mixing several rums aged 5 - 8 years. Let yourself be tempted by its pleasant mahogany hue, behind which lies this outstanding rum full of tropical fruit tones!
