Elements 8 Platinum is a blend of St Lucian rums aged for four years in ex-Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels. Charcoal and chill filtrations are used to remove the colour imparted during maturation and to purify the rum.

Elements Eight rums are the creation of Carl Stephenson and Andreas Redlefsen, both considerably experienced in marketing spirits, particularly rums. As the name suggests their rums are marketed around the concept of eight elements: 1/ environment (where the cane is grown), 2/ sugar cane, 3/ water, 4/yeast, 5/ distillation, 6/ tropical ageing, 7/ blending and 8/ filtration.

Carl and Andreas source their rums from the St. Lucia distillery, which, as the island no longer has a sugar industry and so has no refinery, imports its molasses from Guyana.

Three distinct strains of yeast are used with purified water during fermentation of the molasses: each is individually batch fermented to allow it to impart its own flavour to the ‘wash’, and hence the rum. ‘Hybrid Distillers Yeast’ tends to produce lightly flavoured rums with sweet and buttery aromas. ‘Killer Yeast’ makes heavy rums with high levels of esters and alcohols, giving fruity and floral aromas. The last strain is cultivated by St. Lucia Distillers and its attributes are a trade secret retained by the distillery.

Each batch of ‘wash’ is distilled individually using one of four stills – two ‘John Dore’ copper pot stills, one ‘Coffey’ column still and one Kentucky bourbon pot still. The column still produces light, more subtly flavoured rums; the bourbon still produces heavy, complex rums; and the John Dore stills produce the heaviest, most characterful rums. Elements Eight blends include varying amounts of rums distilled by all three still types, and based on wash fermented using all three yeast strains.
