Chairman's Reserve Original 4-6 Years

At first I had to double check the percentage as I thought I might have bought an overproof rum by mistake. It's a fairly standard 40% but tastes much stronger.

The label claims notes of vanilla and tobacco, but I feel like I missed the vanilla entirely and the tobacco was somewhat overpowered by the general petrol-like qualities of it

Will be drinking the rest of the bottle in cocktails to disguise what is a rum that is frankly, not to my taste at all.

Lively on the tongue with just enough honey and vanilla to calm the palate. Raisins linger on the nose which is as nice as it is pretentious 😎

Very simple. Vanila arona, Not so goog taste. Short finish

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.

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

This is not a sipping rum, burn and aftertaste. Not great but had to try it. I will contaminate this rum with coke.

Very smooth Rhum, touch of vanilla, could easily be used as premium base on tiki cocktails.

The nose on this is too thin and too dominated by ether/alcohol notes... It noses far younger than it's purported age. The back end / taste is better but is barely rises to the level of a sipper, and at $30 where I'm at, that doesn't cut it. N: lighter brown sugar and some alcohol, not great. T/F: tasts better than nose, cinnamon sparkle, lighter spcie fade, still some alcohol residue, barely sippable.

I enjoy most of CR’s rums but this one I can’t get used to it. I have tried it on three separate occasions last week while vacationing in Saint Lucia and just dont like it. My favorite CR rums are Vintage 2009, Legacy, Forgotten Cask and 1931 in that order.

It's got pretty much everything you'd want in a decent rum at a very good price. It's not a great rum, but for the price it's very good.
