Chairman's Reserve Rum Master Selection Penny Royal 70cl

Chairman’s Reserve Master Selection | Penny Royal

A Rare Single Cask Treasure from the Heart of St. Lucia

The Chairman’s Reserve Master Selection "Penny Royal" is an ultra-premium, single-cask expression that represents the pinnacle of St. Lucia Distillers' craft. Released as part of the highly coveted Master’s Selection sub-range, this bottle is a true "unicorn" for collectors. It is a rare example of a 100% sugarcane rum (rather than molasses), showcasing the distillery's ability to produce an Agricole-style spirit with a distinct Caribbean soul.

Distilled in 2011, this expression is a masterclass in blending different distillation technologies. It features spirit from the legendary John Dore 1 copper pot still—renowned for its heavy, aromatic "funk"—and the Macmillan Coffey column still, which provides elegance and structure. After a decade of tropical maturation in a single ex-bourbon cask, this rum was bottled exclusively for Penny Royal, with only 278 bottles ever produced.

Key Features and Single Cask Pedigree

100% Sugarcane Juice: A departure from the distillery's standard molasses-based rums, offering a fresher, more herbaceous, and floral aromatic profile.
The "Dual-Still" Heritage: Combines the powerful ester profile of the John Dore 1 pot still with the refined clarity of the Macmillan Coffey still.
10-Year Single Cask Maturation: Aged entirely in a single American oak ex-bourbon barrel, ensuring a concentrated, unadulterated flavor profile that reflects a decade of interaction with the wood.
Exclusive Limited Release: With only 278 bottles in existence, this is a highly allocated bottling designed for the serious rum connoisseur and collector.
Tasting Notes (Anticipated Profile):
- Nose: Intense and complex. Expect notes of overripe tropical fruits, floral cane honey, and toasted oak, with a underlying "green" herbaceousness typical of cane juice rums.
- Palate: Full-bodied and oily. Layers of salted caramel, leather, and dried stone fruits are punctuated by the bright, grassy notes of the fresh cane.
- Finish: Exceptionally long and drying, with lingering echoes of tobacco, oak spice, and a hint of maritime brine.

Serving Suggestions

The Purist's Pour: This rum should only be enjoyed neat. Use a tulip-shaped Glencairn or a small snifter to concentrate the complex aromas released from the single cask.
A Touch of Water: Given its likely high intensity, a single drop of spring water can help "open up" the spirit, revealing more delicate floral and fruity notes hidden beneath the oak.
The Collector's Piece: Due to its rarity, this is a centerpiece bottle. It is best enjoyed during a quiet evening of reflection or shared with fellow enthusiasts who appreciate the nuances of St. Lucian "Cane Juice" rum.
Pairing: Pairs beautifully with the most premium extra-dark chocolates (85%+ cocoa) or a heavy, hand-rolled Caribbean cigar.
