CHAIRMANS FORGOTTEN CASK 2 GLASSES

The edition of extra old rums Chairman’s Reserve Forgotten Casks was created against the backdrop of a major fire that engulfed the distillery on the island of St. Lucia in May 2007. A large quantity of rum that was still aging had to be immediately hidden from the fire in any available place. Over time, however, the barrels were forgotten, and some were accidentally discovered only after several years. The rum inside was already too old to create the original Chairman’s Reserve rum. Thus, it was decided that the forgotten rum must live its own life. A completely new special edition of extra old rums was created, aptly named Forgotten Casks, with a flavor reminiscent of that originally forgotten rum. Today, each batch ages separately in bourbon barrels, then it is blended and left to rest in oak vats for another 6 months.
