Chairman's Reserve Forgotten Cask - 40% ABV | 700ml
Extra-Aged Rum | St. Lucia | Pot & Column Still | Bourbon Cask Matured

Chairman's Reserve Forgotten Cask is more than a name - it's a true story. After a fire struck St. Lucia Distillers in 2007, a number of casks were misplaced during the chaos and later rediscovered, their contents aged well beyond the standard release. What could've been loss turned to legacy, and now, “Forgotten Cask" lives on as a tribute to slow ageing and unexpected greatness.

This expression uses a similar pot and column still blend as Chairman's Original but aged longer - typically between 6 to 11 years - in ex-bourbon American oak, allowing the spirit to gain richness, integration, and oak-driven complexity. It pours darker, feels deeper, and carries a little more gravitas than its younger sibling.

Expect warm aromas of raisin, burnt sugar, baking spice, and roasted nuts. The palate offers dark honey, leather, orange marmalade, tobacco leaf, and vanilla oak, all stitched together with a smooth, dry finish. There's structure, maturity, and a lingering echo of spice - not overpowering, just effortlessly composed.

How to Drink
Best enjoyed neat or over a single rock. It's excellent in a spirit-forward cocktail like a Rum Old Fashioned, but truly shines on its own with a quiet evening and a square of dark chocolate.

Final Word
Forgotten Cask is a bottle that tells a story with every pour - of resilience, patience, and the beauty of time. Richer and more contemplative than the Original, but still unmistakably St. Lucian, it's a natural progression for rum drinkers looking to climb the ladder of depth and quality. Aged not just longer - but better.
