Chairman’s Reserve The Forgotten Cask 6-11 Years

A forgotten cask due to fire in 2007. Could it be the reason why I find it smoky? Hmm just kidding.

Liquorice with coffee (vanilla coffee frappe). It does come with touch of smokiness and earthy. Fruity longan with fully ripen sweet pineapple. Chocolate bitter sweet.

Woody with dried fruits such as raisins. Fruitiness of pineapple jam and dried longan once sipped. Floral honey notes and tartness of lime which reminds me of Honeysuckle Daiquiri.

Charred wood finishing, dark chocolate with cranberry fillings. As if it been through Pedro Ximenez finishing but it doesn't last long.

Un rhum franc sec, avec des notes douce d'alcool Mais assez tranchant.

Read the story while you drink it, improves the taste. Then share with your friends and tell them the story. The story is better than the taste.

Incredibly smooth on the palate with a finish that lasts for minutes. Nose has notes of brown sugar and vanilla.

I was surprised to find a twist-off for an item that is marketed as a premium rum. Dark amber color, with a nose of sherry. Slightly sweet, smooth on the tongue, with a slight backbite on the finish. Overall very nice.

This is my final bottle of my tasting kit, I’ve come close to winning this in several auctions and I enjoy most StLucian rums and Chairman’s reserve. Time to give it a go. Beautiful medium brown color, some depth to scent with oaky undertones. This is the best of the kit yet lots of depth nice smooth heat. Would be nice if it was slightly higher proof but a solid 7+ rum, not sweet, not dry, smooth just need a bit more depth. A solid 7 in my book, no saving any for later bottle is empty.

Nose: rich spices, some oak, some smoke and maybe even some caramel.
Palate: also spicy, warm, even slightly burning, long lasting, slightly oaky, but a little bit thin. No caramel.

Very nice vanilla and oak finish! Brown colour. Very little alcohol burn

Worth having. Great to bring out for friends just getting into rum.

Dry rum with a bit of fruity tones. I am missing a bit of more body. The tail is oakish and quite long. Burn feels more younger than the rum should be at this age.
