Chairman’s Reserve 4-6 Years

Udemærket men ikke helt tin min smag. Lidt mindre sød og lidt mere sprittet. Fornuftig til prisen

This one I've been putting off for a while because it's one of the few rums that is pretty much on the shelf at about every local liquor store. Sometimes placed within the Capt. Morgan/Bacardi/Malibu/Cruzan shelves which isn't a good thing IMHO. Made me hesitate getting a bottle for quite some time.

But, it finally came time to try some...

It does have an appealing rich amber color and its aroma is very nice. A little caramel...a little ethanol. Not bad.

Sipping it reveals a bit of sweetness with flavors of vanilla and the oak in which it was aged. A little too much oak for sipping. Has just a tad too much bitterness for my tastes in sipping rums. The finish is somewhat dry so it appears this is a rum best suited for mixing especially in fruit-based drinks where the sweetness would balance out the bitterness from the oak.

Potentially this would be even better rum if allowed to age for 5-7 more years. That's the missed potential.

Not a terrible rum but one I would pass on if several certain other brands are available.

Ostřejší, alkoholová vůně, lehce štiplavá chuť, jak chuti tak vůni něco chybí... Ne, že by se nedal pít, vzhledem k ceně je to slušné pití, ale raději si trochu připlatím za něco, z čeho budu mít opravdu radost...

Nothing extraordinary. Decent rum for the price, but too boring.

Not bad stuff. Bit rough to drink neat, nice with a mixer. Can't really give it a 7.

Decent stuff, dry with a slightly gassy feel off the back of a touch of oak

Along with Barbados and Jamaica, St Lucia don't allow sugar to be added to their rums.
So all CR rums are smoothed out only by ageing.

This does mean their original is pretty harsh sipped neat, but stick an ice cube in it, or use it in a cocktail or with a mixer and it's a good step above the average

I'd read a few good reviews and planned to treat myself to a bottle for home use. I then see this for sale within a pub in Bath and thought why not.
I would definitely buy again but in my opinion not the best and did not meet my expectations after reading the reviews

I normally like my rum chilled over ice. This is the only rum i actually prefer at room temp. Not special either way though.

Il y a beaucoup mieux à boire, rhum à découvrir mais pas nécessairement en acheter 1 bouteille.
