Chairman's Reserve Original

excellent rum, best price / performance ratio. In this price range you will find hardly better rum.

This is a really good, dry, underappreciated rum. Simple and well crafted. I think it's aged ~5 years.

I have had this bottle for a long time but had forgotten about it. I am now drinking the last shot and it's time to rate. Nothing outstanding here for a dry rum but it shows quality without additives. I will have to try the older forgotten casks bottle, thinking that all this needs is more age. This does make an outstanding rum and Coke. $40 @ LCBO

N- Soft, fresh cut grass, chocolate, molasses with tinge of turned earth, breezy and light note between ripe and green mango. Neither with much good nor bad that stays right at the edge, Thought had a sip would improve the aroma greatly with more pleasant molasses and vanilla emerged. (86/20)

P- Neutral and authentic without being heavily "chaptalized". Candlewax, ripe fruit and pleasant mouth coat. Not with much characters, but you can't dislike it either. (86/20)

F- Medium, dry, unexpected waxy sour fruit cling at the back palate. (86/20)

B/B- 85/19, all good but wee light and lack structure.

Weighted Rate- 79pt

Easy to drink, nothing to complain about, good value for the money

Doesn’t seem that flavourful when dipped on its own (and I wouldn’t call it a good sipping rum.) However, complements a rum and coke really nicely if you’re looking for something different from a standard mixing rum. Not bad.

nothing special, but good in a mixed drink, not too expensive.

Nose: sweet, medical.
Taste: not so sweet and dry, green apple, and smth else i cannot identify, like medical drugs ). Dont have spirit in your mouth, but strong enough.
Aftertaste: smooth and dry.
I would use it as a simple sipper. Good for an evening with fire and friends.. ))

On the lower end of Chairman’s reserve offering some of which are excellent. This is a well rum for mixing, don’t try to drink it straight.

Surprisingly harsh for Chairman’s Reserve. Mixes well however
