Saint Lucia's Chairman’s Reserve Launches Chairman’s Spice Lab N°2

Saint Lucian award-winning rum Chairman’s Reserve is proud to officially launch Chairman’s Spice Lab N°2, a bold, limited-edition spiced rum. Born from the second edition of Chairman’s global bartender competition, it was crafted by its three winning bartenders.

Selected from over 100 talented entrants worldwide, Dylon John (Saint Lucia), Johnny Morrison (UK), and Leonardo Tamayo (USA) came together on the island of Saint Lucia to merge their inspirations, blending traditions, and creative flair. Having worked alongside Chairman’s Reserve’s Master Blender Deny Duplessis, the result is a spiced rum that pays tribute to Saint Lucia’s spiced rum culture, rich botanicals, and the modern bartender’s palate.

This exclusive batch is only available in small quantities. 1,608 bottles of Chairman’s Spice Lab N°2 are available in the UK, Saint Lucia and the USA, making it a true collector’s item. It's available for purchase on the Chairman's Reserve website (SRP $29.99/750 ml).

Distilled in our traditional Coffey column still, this molasses- based rum combines the vibrant freshness of unaged spirit with the depth and delicate oak notes of a two-year maturation in ex- bourbon casks.

Tasting notes: Aromatic layers of bay leaf, honey, and brown sugar unfold on the nose, enriched by cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. The palate brings brightness from key lime, finishing with a warm, lingering spice and a hint of toffee.

Cocktail suggestions: Enjoy the Chairman’s Spice Lab N°2 within a Castries Manhattan, or mix with ginger ale for a refreshing Saint Lucian spiced serve.
