If you've been with our Rum Club from the beginning, you are pretty much an expert on Chairman's Reserve by this point. The most well known brand from Saint Lucia Distillers, the island's only distillery, they make truly stellar rum, all the way from their spiced rum to their beautiful single barrel selections. We get a barrel from them each year, and though that may mean the novelty of the process is fading, the value and quality of what is in those barrels has remained stunning to us. This feels like a long term relationship for us now, and our love is only deepening. Just when we think we are well familiar with all of the Chairman's secrets, we try the next year's bevy of single barrel offerings and new things take us by surprise. With two distinct pot stills and various column stills at their disposal, along with varying kinds of distillates from heavy to light and even sugarcane juice rums, there can be a lot of variation. This year for the first time they had a selection of different cask finishes along with the standard ex-bourbon aged options, widening their color palette even more.
