Chairman’s Legacy is a tribute to Laurie Barnard, the “Chairman” of St. Lucia Distillers who inspired and created the iconic brand Chairman’s Reserve. His vision to define and reinvent the Saint Lucian rum category was unlike anything the rum category had seen before or has seen since. While other distilleries were purchasing column stills to increase production, Laurie was investing in eclectic barrel types, small pot stills, a proprietary yeast strain, and sugarcane. He believed that the best rum was not achieved from one barrel, but by blending different components together of different ages, finishes, styles, and base materials.

RUM BLEND: Chairman's Legacy showcases the art of blending pot and column still rums. In addition to traditional molasses-based rums, “Legacy” features the addition of sugarcane juice distillate, a trademark of Laurie since the day he grew sugarcane around the distillery to isolate the signature proprietary yeast Chairman's Reserve is so famous for.

MATURATION: Five and six year old rum is tropically aged separately by batch and still type in ex-bourbon barrels before being expertly blended. 

TASTING NOTES: Mahogany hue in the glass. Pineapple, banana, and vanilla on the nose. Intense grilled tropical fruit and spice on the palate persist throughout a long wonderful finish.

The Kasama small batch rum is carefully produced in limited quantities, ensuring that every bottle receives the utmost care and attention. The rum begins its journey with a selection of the finest sugarcane, chosen for its quality and flavor profile. The sugarcane is harvested at its peak and processed to extract the purest form of its essence.

The fermentation process follows, where the extracted sugarcane juice is carefully transformed into a rich and aromatic base. This crucial step allows the flavors to develop, creating a foundation that sets Kasama rum apart. The rum is then distilled using traditional methods, employing copper pot stills to carefully extract and refine the desirable characteristics.

Maturation is a key aspect of the small batch rum production. The spirit is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to mature and acquire depth and complexity over time. The interaction between the rum and the wood imparts a unique character, introducing notes of vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice that intertwine harmoniously.

Once the rum has achieved the desired flavor profile, it is meticulously blended to create the final expression. The blending process is a true art form, with the master blender carefully selecting and combining different aged rums to achieve a balance of flavors that exemplify the essence of Kasama.

The result is a small batch rum that delights the senses. With every sip, one can experience the symphony of flavors that unfold on the palate. The aroma of tropical fruits, hints of oak, and delicate floral notes entice the senses, while the velvety texture and slight sweetness create a luxurious mouthfeel.

Kasama small batch rum is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of its creators. It represents a commitment to producing a spirit of exceptional quality, capturing the true spirit of rum and offering a remarkable experience for enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a key component in a cocktail, Kasama small batch rum stands as a testament to the artistry and passion of its makers.

Maker Notes

Aged premium rum made with raw cane sugar.

At MRD we tried to look at rum with a fresh and distinctly modern,  American view: we age our premium rum, made with cane sugar, in fresh charred American oak barrels — just like our bourbon and rye. The result is simply stunning: First Run Rum – a sipping rum with an initial “hit” of bourbon-like richness rapidly transitioning to a smooth and distinctly rum-caramel finish.  Since its introduction, even the “I only drink whiskey” consumers have been pleasantly surprised by our rum!  All of our sugars are fair trade certified, all natural raw cane sugars sourced from Texas or Malawi, depending on the season.

The pinnacle of tropical luxury, SelvaRey Owner’s Reserve is a blend of fifteen to twenty-five year aged rums, hand-selected from the finest vintages.

Our bespoke blend of charcoal-filtered aged rums originate from Trinidad and Nicaragua, before making their way to Petaluma, CA.

There we infuse with a unique mix of Californian flowers, herbs, seeds, roots and bark to create a botanical delight that carries you from the waterfalls of Yosemite to the crashing waves of the Lost Coast.

The botanicals create a pine and floral base, while adding a dry and crisp finish to Callisto. The blend of rum builds a fullness of flavor through their creamy texture and a hint of salty sweetness. Both pair perfectly to produce an incredibly smooth and distinctly Californian spirit.

A testament to the artistry and tradition of Mexican tequila production. Crafted with meticulous care, this exceptional spirit embodies the essence of aged tequila with its rich flavors and smooth character.

Carefully selected agave plants, grown in the fertile lands of Jalisco, Mexico, form the foundation of Don Abraham Anejo Tequila. These agaves are harvested at peak maturity, ensuring the highest quality and concentration of flavors. The piñas, or hearts of the agave plants, are then slowly cooked in traditional brick ovens, allowing the sugars to caramelize and infuse the spirit with depth and complexity.

Following the cooking process, the piñas are crushed and the extracted juice is fermented using natural yeast. This unhurried fermentation process allows the flavors to develop naturally, resulting in a tequila that showcases the true essence of the agave plant.

Don Abraham Anejo Tequila is aged in charred American oak barrels, where it matures gracefully over time. Each barrel imparts its distinct character onto the tequila, infusing it with notes of oak, vanilla, and subtle hints of spice. The extended aging process allows the flavors to harmonize and mellow, resulting in a refined and balanced taste.

Upon reaching its optimal maturity, Don Abraham Anejo Tequila is expertly blended to achieve a harmonious and complex flavor profile. The result is a tequila that offers a smooth and velvety texture, with a rich and full-bodied taste. Notes of caramel, toasted almonds, and dried fruits interplay with hints of cinnamon and chocolate, creating a truly indulgent experience for the palate.

The best tequilas are made from 100% blue agave and are not married with other spirits (mixtos). All El Afan tequilas are 100% blue agave. Gone are the days of chasers and mandatory salt and lime.a NO LIME NEEDED!
