Chairman’s Reserve The Forgotten Cask 6-11 Years

Bought on special so I am not unhappy with the price but was really excited to be trying this. I am glad I could tick it off tbh but not overly impressed. It’s a nice rum, a bit chewy and relative depth on the palate but didn’t inspire me to want to buy again.

A little water down on the finish. Was expecting more from Chairman Reserve.

Coffee nose, deep caramel taste hint of sweetness with medium burn , more than i thought for a 40% abv. Missing the spiciness of traditional st lucia rums

I think it's decent but I like legacy better at half the price

Little disappointed really. Fairly smooth on the rocks. Little bit of wood flavor raisin and not much else. Not overly sweet little dry which are two things I like but just really nothing special. Like i said, it is nice and that is it. As far as St. Lucia rums go HMS Princessa and HMS Royal Oak are unquestionably superior.

Nice rum and enjoyable. But the wood taste reminds me of Canerock. Spicy and lasting long. But not as googd as my favourite Chairman's (Legacy).

Decent rum that tastes of raisins and wood. It reminded me a lot of Doorly's 8, though this one is slightly fruitier, and of course the younger expressions from Chairman's. Good base for boozy cocktails like Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
But to be honest, I kind of expected more for the price (I got it from a German online shop for 37€). Then again, it really does taste similar to Doorly's 8, which I didn't like that much, either, and is actually even more expensive here.

Too acetony and ethanoly for me. I did not feel like the aromas and tastes of caramel came through enough and I was left with only an adequate experience.

RO: ok, chairman s reserve - the forgotten casks.. voiam de mult sa incerc acest rom, cittisem pe undeva de el doar ca nu l gaseam ; in plus aveam deja o parere buna despre romurile din sain lucia datorita lui santa teresa 1796..

si iata ca l am gasit , si e o incantare ).. usor fructat in miros si vag dulceag, se simte si alcoolul dar e placut daca a respirat putin, se simte si melasa..

in gust sunt mai multe nuante, e o armonie ) , alcoolul invaluie toate aromele cu un echilibru de autoritate si tandrete si le lasa sa se exprime, e usor dulceag dar dulceata provenita parca de la un ananas copt pe care se aseaza vanilie si melasa cu putina cacao si scortisoara presarate ..

acest rom cu o tenta uleioasa m a dus cu gandul prima data la plantation pinaple unde am avut o intalnire placuta cu ananasul, dar acela a devenit plictisitor destul de rapid pentru ca in afara de gustul placut de ananas nu mai avea niciun secret de dezvaluit.. aici e cu totul alta poveste ; aromele sunt bine definite fiecare stiindu si rolul si locul .. are un postgust destul de lung, usor amarui si uleios, ca un vis pe care il rememorezi dupa trezire .. si te vrei iar acolo )

EN: ok, chairman s reserve - the forgotten casks.. I wanted to try this rum for a long time, I had read about it somewhere but I couldn't find it; in addition, I already had a good opinion about the rums from San Lucia thanks to Santa Teresa 1796..

and here I found it, and it's a delight).. slightly fruity in smell and slightly sweet , you can also feel the alcohol but it's nice if it has breathed a little, you can also feel the molasses..

in the taste there are several nuances, it's a harmony), the alcohol envelops all the flavors with a balance of authority and tenderness and lets them express themselves, it's slightly sweet but the sweetness comes as if from a ripe pineapple on which vanilla and molasses are placed with a little sprinkled cocoa and cinnamon..

this rum with an oily tinge remind me of plantation penaple taht was a pleasant encounter with pineapple, but that became boring quite quickly because apart from the pleasant taste of pineapple, it had no secret to reveal.. here is a completely different story; the flavors are well defined, each knowing its role and place... it has a rather long aftertaste, slightly bitter and oily, like a dream you remember after waking up... and you want to be there again)

tak na ty sudy mohli klidně zapomenout navěky.
Klasický vanilkový rumík, hraničně pitelný, ale jinak naprosto nezajímavý. Za ty prachy (2023 přes 900 Kč) čirá drzost!
Kupovat to byl blbý nápad už od názvu - jak se něco jmenuje prezident, předseda, diplomat apod., ruce pryč to od toho! Všechny podobné "elity" celého světa jsou v reálu ta nejpodřadnější subhumanoidní verbež - a v kořalkách to zjevně není o nic lepší.
Never more!
