Expert Rum Tasting (and a little chocolate) with Benjamin Miller!
Benjamin is endlessly informative about the entire rum world. I asked him 3 minutes into our first conversation if he would do this for us. This will be a GREAT, informative tasting providing an overview of the major rum producing countries and breaking down the differences between sugar cane and molasses production.

Chairman's Reserve Legacy Rume, Saint Lucia
Chairman’s Legacy showcases the art of blending pot and column still rums. In addition to traditional molasses based rums, “Legacy” features the addition of sugarcane juice distillate, a trademark of Laurie since the day he grew sugarcane around the distillery to isolate the signature proprietary yeast Chairman’s Reserve is so famous.

Rhum Barbancourt 15 Year, Haiti
Originally reserved for the Barbancourt family and their friends, today its incomparable flavor has become a veritable institution in the world of connoisseurs. Unlike industrial rum made from the fermentation of molasses, a by-product of the production of cane sugar, Rhum Barbancourt is an agricultural rum, rum made from fermented sugar cane juice. Rhum Barbancourt is aged in Limousin oak barrels in the Domaine's chais, and it is in these oak barrels that Rhum Barbancourt expresses its unique flavor and bouquet; a subtle blending of Haiti's sun and soil.
