St.Lucia is the home to Chairman’s Reserve, a very popular rum brand which up to this time has eluded me. It’s kind of nice to start my exploration of the brand at the top of its ladder with Chairman’s Reserve Forgotten Casks a well aged rum (6 to 11 years) which became St. Lucia Distillers top brand quite by accident. You will have to read the review to get the whole story.
Here is a link to my tasting notes and scores for the No. 13 spirit in the 24 Days of Rum – The Original Rum Tasting Box:

Saint Lucia is a Caribbean Island Country located south of Martinique and northwest of Barbados near the boundary between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Lesser Antilles chain of islands and supports a culture which includes both French and English influences. The rum produced on the island is produced solely by St Lucia Distillers who represent an amalgamation of the last two distillers upon the island, Barnard and Geest. The rum is produced in the English style from fermented molasses upon a variety of stills, both copper pot and column, and aged in oak barrels.
