Chairman’s Reserve 1931

"A rum between Spanish, French and English thanks to a hybrid distillation. Well balanced and not too intense with a pleasant caramel and never cloying thanks also to the barrel/oak aroma with a coffee, chocolate and lychee/mango finish giving it depth. Medium-long finish."

"Chairman’s best ! This one is the follower of the yearly 1931 editions. It’s like some of the editions a blend of pot stills, column stills and Agricole. I’ve only tasted the 84th edition, and thought that tasted a little aggressive and alcohol. This one is much milder and rounder."

"03.12.2022 Enjoying some samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Medium intense, light wood, light grass, fresh, dried fruit, faint caramel, light leather. Palate Medium intense, wood, light tannins, faint smoke, dried fruit, light leather, light Agricole, light caramel. Finish Medium long, wood, light tannins, light grass, light caramel, faint chocolate, raisin."

"Very balanced, very round, very smooth, very drinkable but, alas, the backward taste stops far too quickly, it's like a total brake after the initial and intermediate notes. It's a bit disconcerting, you want the taste to continue developing but no, it's the complete machine stop all too suddenly. Too bad. Not bad, but you have to sip it with a high tempo because the taste leaves you in a few seconds."

"I have enjoyed this rum so far simply because of its round and delicate aromas and am therefore surprised at how many different facets it reveals on closer examination. It is very well suited both as an "easy drinking" rum and for a head-on analysis. A beautiful thing!"

"Hard to fit into the categories. Somehow this is a classic and well done rum. Sweet and woody. Compared to "Legacy" this one is more smooth and sweeter. It tastes less green as the share of Agricole is smaller. It has a peppery vibe and finish. Interesting but I think the "Legacy" has more character."

"Great nose. Very fresh scents: esters/pineapple/lime/lemongrass and galangal (laos). Floral too. Taste: more woodflavours. French oak. Roasted pineapple. Well balanced and delicious. Rather short finish though. The nose is a tad more interesting than the taste though. But great dram."

"Rum acquired in Saint Lucia during a trip - easy for a metropolitan for 13 years in the DOM. Very good rum, tasty, with a degree of alcohol very well integrated. Ideal with a chocolate dessert for example. It is not very sweet. In the end, it's still a nice discovery of an "English" rum. Let's be open to different rums from the French West Indies"

"Reminds me of the original Chairman's, but with more power and character. There's something that reminds me of Jamaicans. Roasted coffee notes with medium alcohol integration and medium length."

"A very well balanced rum with a bit of st Lucia funk. Excellent sipper, the finish is a bit short and a higher ABV would help."

"Great!"

"Very smokier than forgotten cask.Complex and balanced.For a full strength cigar.Barrel,wood,tobacco!!!"

"brilliant top notch rum fruity and oaky sweet with an after burn but very nice a must have ..and must buy you can tell it's there top line up in the rums also very nice bottle with a wood cork"

"Easy sipping the nice way. I like it without being too enthusiastic. Just the right thing for a cozy get-together. The bottle also looks good. Really good in cola. The tobacco notes are nice. Suitable for mixing and sipping if you don't want a cask strength."

"There isn’t too much to say about this one. Just a solid pleasant rum. It’s more weighted towards the warm notes but is very balanced. This is a great rum for just hanging out, although I do wish it was cask strength."
