Chairman’s Reserve Spiced Original

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

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.

We start our games and rumtasting evening with delicious homemade food and this rum to go with it. Delicious rum, nice and sweet and spicy.

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?).

smells of Christmas with the taste of nutmeg and cloves touch vanilla and orangey after taste which lingers smoothly away

Too much Orange taste

Delicious rum. Nice start to a game night

Ranking it down now. After re-visiting the now opened bottle after few weeks, it developed a bitter aftertaste. Like biting into an orange pith. Not sure why

Super intense nose, especially orange. Perfect for an Old Fashioned.

I'm not a fan of spiced rums, but this one isn't bad. However, it's a bit too sweet for my taste. The nose carries notes of caramel and cinnamon, with the palate emphasizing cinnamon. The aftertaste is pleasant as the initial sweetness fades, giving way to a lingering vanilla flavor.

No burn with an abundance of orange, clove and cinnamon …. nose and palate. Tasty! EDIT: I strongly recommend spiced rum be in its own category for the ratings system here. The wide swings in scores don’t represent the category, instead we get those that prefer 55%+ rocket fuel rating a spiced rum in the 5-6 range. It completely skews the bias of the group.

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.

Incroyable en rum old fashioned & Cable Car. Épicé, sucré avec des notes d'orange. Un rapport qualité prix difficile à battre

as spiced rums go it's very good

I'll be honest, this review is from memory, as I haven't drank chairman's spiced in a few months, but this is my first review, and chairman's has left a lasting impression on my palette. That should say enough already. Chairman's spiced is my idea of Christmas in a bottle. Strong notes of Orange and orange peel, along with cinnamon, nutmeg and other wintery spices. Tastes good with some ice, or mixed with coke. This one deserves a permanent spot on the shelf
