Chairman's Reserve Original Rum (70cl, 40%)

A blended rum from St. Lucia Distillers, combining pot-still and column-still rum. Molasses forms the base of the distillates, and maturation in bourbon casks adds sweetness, oak and a rounder structure. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 0.7 litre bottle. The blend brings together a more aromatic foundation and a lighter component, with fruit, vanilla and spices kept in balance. The bourbon cask maturation complements this with vanilla and spice. The nose shows apple, cooked banana and vanilla with restrained oak; the palate brings raisins and chocolate with clove and a fine tobacco note, finishing round and spicy with fading fruit and cask notes.
