About this bottle

Chairman's Reserve, born in 1999, is named for St. Lucia Distillers' then chairman Laurie Barnard, who created a blend made from both pot and continuous still rums. The rums are first matured for 9 months in new American oak, then aged separately in ex-bourbon casks hailing from Jim Beam and Buffalo Trace as well as ex-Tennessee whiskey casks from Jack Daniels. They are then blended together and given an additional 6 months to mingle in cask before bottling. There is no official age statement, though the youngest rums are at least 5 years old. Note: Formerly called Chairman's Reserve Finest Blended Rum.

Irbis 3.5

Nose: floral, sweet, alcohol. No resin (it is good ). Maybe some vanilla. Taste: the same rose and sweet, green apple, and smth else i cannot identify. Dont have spirit in your mouth, but strong enough. Aftertaste: smooth and ... floral )) More apples and sweetness.. ) Update: I don’t nose so many alcohol this time. Maybe floral and, surely, sweet. Even if you feel alcohol it is not presented when tasting. Definitely apple and some medical drugs ) I would use it as a simple sipper. Good for an evening with fire and friends.. ))

Sharp & sweet through the nose. Not so mild rum. Sweety and sharpish taste. Aftertaste I could notice a little bitter what will turn into a vanilla aftertaste. Overall an okay sipper but not excellent.

Un excellent rhum avec un top RQP. Très marqué par les fruits blancs et avec une très belle matière. Belle douceur en bouche, c'est enveloppant et aromatique.

Orly Aguilar 2.0

Awful taste for sipping, like gasoline. It may work as a mixer. There are better tasting rums in its price range, such as R.L.Seale's 10 years.

Raisin on the nose and pallet. Smokey, tobacco, and sweetness. Decent sipper and good mixer
