Another educational Q&A for you. This time mainly about St Lucian rum, with agricole rhum thrown in here and there.
Ben Jones, Spiribam’s Director of North America, speaks passionately about "visionary" Laurie Barnard and St Lucia Distillers. Other topics that are discussed: the cutting of several brands when taking over the distillery, the use of cane juice rum at St Lucia Distillers, the many barrel treasures, why age statements are barely used, why the approach to 1931 has changed, the creation of Chairman's Reserve Legacy, the process of the many private Chairman's releases and why they are cutting back, the lack of agricole rhum in Canada, the difference between selling rum in Canada and the US, Bounty rum.....and everything else in between.
Thank you Ben for spending your birthday minus 1 with us. Always a pleasure to speak with you.



What I like about Ladli Behna Yojana is that it directly focuses on women’s welfare. Supporting women financially also helps improve the overall well-being of the entire family.
The Samagra Portal seems like a great step towards improving digital services in India. It not only reduces paperwork but also helps people stay updated with important information related to government benefits.
PM Vishwakarma Yojana is a great step towards empowering local artisans and preserving traditional skills. These professions are part of our culture, and supporting them can also strengthen the local economy.
