Chairman’s Legacy honors Laurie Barnard, the visionary “Chairman” of St. Lucia Distillers, who transformed the rum industry by pioneering unique techniques and quality standards. Instead of opting for mass production, Laurie invested in eclectic barrel types, small pot stills, and distinctive ingredients like a proprietary yeast strain and sugarcane from his estate. Chairman’s Legacy is a blend of traditional molasses-based rums with sugarcane juice distillate, reflecting Laurie’s signature approach to Saint Lucian rum.
