The "light aging" definitely shows the differences in production and ingredients amongst rums, while leaving you able to start to see the path that it will take as it ages. There wasn't anything "bad" about this rum, it retains a lot of the wild flavors from the distillation, which certainly settle out in their more aged bottles
Had a rum tasting on a sunny afternoon, because why not. Chairman's Reserve Silver Rum bottle and label design looks decent but nothing special. Pure alcohol to the nose and palate. Strong burn at the end. Just barely mixable.
Blend of rums aged 2–4 years (pot & column), according to their website. Bit of a nail polish nose. Pretty bland taste; I'd say it was over-filtered and over-diluted. Not bad, though, really. Good bite to it. I think this would be an excellent mixer.

Tasted at False Idol - was a good intro to aging 6 out of 10
