Chairman's Reserve was created in 1999 and is so named due to being the project of then Chairman, Laurie Barnard. A blend of light and heavy rums aged in ex-Bourbon casts for an average of 5 years. The final liquid is then put back into casks to marry for a further six months prior to bottling.

Heavy rums from the Vendome pot still (less than 5%) add character to light rums from the two-column McMillan continuous still.
