It is made from molasses, distilled on the distillery's Coffey column still, and aged around two to three years in ex-bourbon barrels, then bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 750mL bottle. The distillery describes light butterscotch aromas and a candied-fruit nose, opening soft with rich raisin, honey and vanilla spice from the oak. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saint Lucia — St. Lucia Distillers, Roseau Valley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Coffey column still\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Around two to three years in ex-bourbon barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Bottle in Every Rum Shop on the Island\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBounty is the entry level of the St. Lucia Distillers range, sitting below Chairman's Reserve and Admiral Rodney — and reviewers frame it exactly that way, as an easy-going mixer rather than a sipper. That is how Lucians drink it: with Coke. But it also makes a genuinely good daiquiri or Old Fashioned.
