"The rich spice notes make it exciting and complex, but mask the rum character and push it somewhat in the direction of herbal liqueurs. Still: I like the fruity nose and the fresh, lively palate"

"A cheaper variation of A.H. Riise's Christmas edition rum based spirit. Very nice indeed, I like it especially in cold winter months and during whole December to prep. for Christmas and also during them. You can smell a lot of christmas spices such as clove, cinnamon etc. The taste is exactly the same but with addition to ginger which is dominant from all spices. Medium finish, sweet and tasty as a spiced rum should be. Very enjoyable spiced rum made in St. Lucia. I really love it, jt instantly teleports you to Christmas if you are tasting it outside of festive holidays."

"The nose hits you full force with orange peal followed closely by cinnamon, clove and grapefruit with subtle hints of caramel after as if to say "there is rum under this spice". The palate is very sweet, not clogging but very, very sweet. The spices follow after the sugar. Clove, cinnamon, cardamom and orange peal all present and all pretty powerful. The spices stay for the finish but there is a roasted nut not that takes me back to the unspiced Chairman's Reserve. Overall, I prefer the unspiced and by quite some way. Though, if you like spiced rum. This has the spice in spades."

"For me, to much of spices in it. But, to be honest, it's made from good rum (Chairman's Reserve) and it will be more enjoyable during Christmas, because the flavouring is a like some Christmas desert (Swedish cinnamon and something else?)."
