The smell is slightly sweet, not too much. Fresh fruit predominates. Peat in the background.
It tastes just like it smells. Dry, the natural sweetness at the beginning turns into a dry peaty taste. A very good and long finish that keeps the taste in the mouth. There are some raisins in the finish. Very gentle, does not burn. There's no denying the whiskiness. Good drink to be fair, just not hit my taste. Personal rating 6/10.

Smooth, dry with some natural sweetness to it (doesnt taste like added sugar), for me a nice sipper as I like it. Not very special, but for the price +/- €30 in Holland, it does great.

Nearly the same as the 1931, but the opening is a little stronger, smokier, just a little less refined. Has a nice agricole taste, very rich flavours and aftertaste is incredibly good which reminds me a bit of Jamaican rums but more subtle, more fresh and grassy.

The mixture of molasses and canejuice as well as pot and column still makes for nice complexity and a surprisingly long finish. For 26€ an absolute winner.

on the nose is fruity, but in the mouth less fruits, some wood and vanilla, spices, some wine flavors, it s an interesting, dry rum, ABV 43% is also good, very good price, what more can i say ? that for me is a solid 8+

Really enjoyed this rum. It has a taste of spice and molasses but not overpowering and enjoyable on it's own. Definitely worth the try.

The new release from SLD and it appears it is going to stay, so not a limited edition. I paid just a little less than for the 'Forgotten Casks' and this seems a much more logical rum to fill the gap between the 'Original' and the Chairman's Reserve 1931.
Just like the 1931 this has both pot and column still rums, both from molasses and sugarcane (agricole) and just like with the 1931 they made it work beautifully. Bottled at 43% ABV this is in my opinion a truly great extension of the Chairman's Reserve line-up.
Intense nose with baking spices, lots of fruit (pear, pineapple, passion fruit), resin, vanilla, caramel and oak. Grassy notes from the agricole part are noticable as well.
On the palate pretty complex, though less so than the 1931, with funky citrus (red oranges), sweet resin and lots of floral and fruity notes. The grassy notes give a crisp and fresh flavour with a minty part. Liquorice, salted caramel, a bit of chocolate and a mouthfull of spices in the pretty long finish.
One of the 'problems' with the Chairman's Reserve line-up is that the 'Original' is so good for so little money that the other expressions might seem overpriced (which they are not) but there is no doubt for me here; this one can easily measure with rums like MGXO, Appleton's 12yo and other real premiums in the budget category. For those who like the 'Original' but not so much the 'Forgotten Casks'; get a bottle of this stuff ASAP!
