Saint Lucia Distillers is the only remaining rum distillery on the Caribbean island of the same name. Originally known as Roseau Bay, it was built by the Geest family who merged the operation with that of the Barnards in 1972. The latter closed their own distillery, Dennery, in the process. Today Saint Lucia Distillers is owned by the French multinational, Groupe Bernard Hayot (GBH).
The distillery has four stills; two John Dore pot stills installed in 1998 and 2005, a hybrid Vendome pot still (with eight-plate column neck) brought in from Trinidad Distillers in 2003, and the original two-column McMillan Coffey still from 1985. It produces both molasses and cane juice rums, marketing them as a variety of brands that include Admiral Rodney, Bounty and Chairman's Reserve.
