What it is

The Roseau valley rums: Saint Lucia Distillers (since 1972, in the Roseau valley) makes the island's rums — Chairman's Reserve (the flagship blend, pot and column), Admiral Rodney (the connoisseur's), and the agricole-style experiments — St Lucia's spirit since the sugar estates consolidated. Origins: rum on St Lucia is estate-era; the Distillers united the island's production in 1972 (the Barnard family's stewardship made Chairman's a world name). Made from: molasses (and some cane juice), pot and column stills, oak ageing. How it's made: 1) Ferment in the valley. 2) Distil both pot (rich) and column (light). 3) Blend and age under the Pitons' weather. Served: neat and in punches at Gros Islet's Friday jump-up. Flavor: tropical fruit, pot-still funk, oak. Strength: 40-43%. Culture: Chairman's Reserve is St Lucia's toast — the Pitons in a bottle. See also: Barbados Rum and Rhum Agricole (Martinique).
