Chairman's 2009 Reserve 11-Year

on the nose alcohol burn (of course, it s 46% ABV), so far i ve tried only their legacy and this is better just from the nose, so... let it stay in the glass 10 minutes and than start again... ok, it s very similar to english harbour 10 (i mean the flavor, but in better ... ), in the mouth its complex, a bourbon drinker rum ( dry but not too much), vanilla, wood, tobacco, it s a honest and solid rum (no additives), finish is sweet and long enough, i just miss that WOW something to give it a 9 (i ll give it an 8 like their legacy even if it s a little bit better) ... i have their 1931, will open and try it soon

Had the pleasure of sampling Chairman’s Reserve Vintage 2009 at Saint Lucia Distillers today. This is my 5th rum from the Chairman’s Reserve line and definitely my favourite as in my opinion it surpassed their 1931 and Legacy offering. At 46% it is complex and so smooth (no added sugar by the way) and just right for sampling neat although I would have enjoyed sampling their “Cask Strength” products which is not available at the distillery. The Vintage 2009 was produced in limited quantity so if you have a chance grab it while you can.
