About Chairman’s Reserve
The Barnard family settled in St. Lucia in the 1930s, founding their rum distillery, producing handcrafted spirits distilled from molasses crafted from sugar sourced from the island’s massive sugar plantations. After the rise of the European sugar beet drove the local sugar industry to extinction, the rum trade was adversely affected.
The only remaining distilleries were consolidated into St. Lucia Distillers, based out of the picturesque Roseau Valley. The last sugar plantation was closed in the 1960s forcing rum producers to source their molasses from Guyana. The Forgotten Casks is an extra-aged limited edition rum inspired by the original forgotten casks of Chairman’s Reserve that survived St. Lucia Distillers devastating fire on May 2, 2007.
