The Chairman's Reserve "The Forgotten Casks" Pot & Column Still Blend rum is a unique product with an intriguing backstory. Created at the Saint Lucia Distillers in the Saint Lucia region, this rum has a tale that adds depth to its character. Following a devastating fire in May 2007 that inflicted substantial damage and restricted storage space, many rum barrels were stored in less-than-ideal conditions, leading to some being lost and forgotten for years. Fortunately, this extended maturation process enriched the rum's flavor, imparting nuanced notes of baked banana and raisins.
This special edition from Chairman's Reserve blends twice-distilled pot-still rums with column-still rums, without chill filtration. The "Forgotten Casks" edition is a distinguished release made from barrels discovered post-fire, initially deemed too aged for the standard blend. Now, these barrels are uniquely reserved for extended aging, resulting in a rum aged between 7 to 12 years. Initially released independently, this rum has since become a highly sought-after treasure.
This edition is made from barrels that were inadvertently left to age longer due to a fire at the distillery, enriching the rum with deeper and more complex flavors.
The rum is a blend of twice-distilled pot-still rums and column-still rums, which adds complexity and depth to its flavor profile.
No, the "Forgotten Casks" edition is not chill-filtered, allowing it to retain more of its natural flavors and oils.
