In the melee that followed, the cellar master was forced to find space for aging casks in unusual places. Some were subsequently forgotten about, only to be rediscovered much later and offered as a limited release. While those original barrels have long since been bottled, the blend was so delicious that it’s been honored and replicated by aging Chairman’s Reserve Original an additional 3 years in ex-bourbon casks after blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eI\u003cstrong\u003eNFO:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eProducer: St. Lucia Distillers\u003cbr\u003eVintage: NV\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Castries\u003cbr\u003eSpirit Type: Rum \/ Rhum\u003cbr\u003eSpirit Sub Type: None\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Lucia Distillers","offers":[{"title":"750ml Bottle","offer_id":46209859977469,"sku":"LC-XCR-02-NVA","price":59.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/craftcity.com\/products\/st-lucia-distillers-chairmans-reserve-the-forgotten-casks-rum","provider":"Craft City","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
