Chairman's Reserve was created by Laurie Barnard, the latest member of the founding family to serve as president of St. Lucia Distillers. He created a splendid rum, steeped in more than 80 years of Saint Lucian rum history and the heritage of the Barnard family. To create this rum, Laurie Barnard experimented with mixing respective barrels of double distilled pot still rum and column still rum. By returning the blended rum to oak barrels for further aging, he created a smooth, well-balanced and flavorful spirit that has become the benchmark for Saint Lucia rum.
