Chairmans Reserve The Forgotten Casks
On May 2 2007 St Lucia Distillers was struck by a major fire. Mercifully most of the distillery was spared but there were great problems with storage, forcing them to find space for ageing casks in the most unusual places. Having done so, the cellar team had a memory lapse and forgot the casks that had been laid down for award-winning Chairman's reserve. These casks were found recently and upon tasting were found to contain a wonderfully complex rum which has now been offered as a limited release: Chairman's Reserve - The Forgotten Casks, which has already won a gold medal and best in class at the International Wine and Spirit Competition 2011.
MacNair's Exploration Rum Jamaica Unpeated Rum
Sourced from high, low and medium ester spirit, this release was initially filled to a mixture of American and French oak at 86%, the rum was left to mature for 30 months at each ester level. The spirit was then reduced to 69% and re-filled to a similar cohort of oak casks to complete its maturation journey. This has been expertly blended by Billy Walker and his 50 years in the industry. A golden sunrise presence. The nose is bursting with tropical fruits, vanilla and orchard fruits, with golden syrup, strawberry coulis and butterscotch. The palate has layers of honey, pineapple and plantains with dried banana chips, grapefruit and cinnamon spice.
