CDI St. Lucia (Bottled for Denmark) 2002

"Very pleasant nose and flower taste, long finish" is how one member sums it up, and the nose really is where this single cask shines — olive, herbs, honey and citrus in a lovely melange. The palate follows but with less punch: dry, herbal, roasted, and a few tasters find it turns herb-bitter or slightly watery at the end.

The community says
  • Olive-herb nose
  • Long finish
  • But: Herb-bitter palate

Gorgeous herbal nose, drier and thinner palate Almost everyone loves the nose; the palate divides them — some find it dry and roasty in a good way, others call it too herb-bitter, thin, or one-note.

8.2/10

Exciting nose with lots of roasted aromas and cocoa, paired with herbs and some tropical fruits. On the palate then quite dry and bitter. Still a very good, roasty St. Lucia rum.

7.2/10

Slightly sweeter than other st Lucias but also quite one-dimensional roasty and herbaceous with light notes of nutmeg, ginger and green apple. Overall a bit boring unfortunately...

8.2/10

The nose gives some extra points, unfortunately it then becomes a bit too tart-bitter for me on the palate. The nose is dominated by a great melange of olive, citrus notes and hay. In the mouth, toasty-spicy flavors come in, which are a bit too dominant for me. Too bad - the nose itself is sensational and has briefly made great hope for a St.Lucia at the height of Warren Khong.

Saint Lucia Distillers 

Avg Rating 8.2/10 240 Rums

St. Lucia Distillers is the island's only distillery and one of the most versatile in the Caribbean. Four stills give it eight different distillates, molasses and cane juice, pot and column, which its blenders turn into everything from the humble Bounty to the cult Chairman's Reserve and the super-premium Admiral Rodney. It rebuilt itself after an arson fire and is now owned by the same group as Martinique's J.M and Clement.
