Rum Company of the Year: St Lucia Distillers When it comes to molasses-based rum in the English-speaking Caribbean, the rum world tends to focus on Jamaica and Barbados. It’s not surprising, considering both countries’ centuries of high-level rummaking. But it’s time for one company to get its regional due: St Lucia Distillers, Saint Lucia’s premier rum company, that consistently puts out a world-class range of expressions that is as authentically made as it is diverse. And it’s the latter that is perhaps most impressive: whether you’re trying the locally-popular Bounty Gold Rum, the Chairman’s Reserve Forgotten Cask, Admiral Rodney or 1931, every marque is unique. Indeed, they all have their own character, their own personality. And it’s a testament to what passionate local rummaking can achieve.
