Chairman‘s Reserve Original
Reliable, characterful and great value. Light funk, vanilla and oak make it an easy everyday choice, especially in cocktails, even if some find it a bit thin and short on the finish.
Value seekers and beginners building their palate who want an honest, lightly funky rum that works neat in a pinch but really shines in Cuba Libres, Daiquiris and tiki-style cocktails.

Toasty, woody and spicy on the nose. Vanilla, coconut, chocolate, caramel and some funk. Dried fruit and raisin very subtle in the background. Unfortunately then on the one hand a bit thin and partly alcoholic in the mouth. Not really bothersome, but quite noticeable. Woody toffee sweetness with coffee notes are up front here. Slight bitterness, dark chocolate afterwards. Becomes stronger with time. Overall in character very peculiar. I like. Bonus points for the great price / performance ratio.
Auto-translatedAll my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
Et fantastisk dejligt glas
Well I am not a fan of this base version to be honest. 👃is not offering anything interesting for me. It is rather sharp, peppery and alcoholic. It is initially sweet on the 👅 with notes of vanilla, caramel blending into peppery elements and bitter tones of burned sugar / caramel, charred barrel (too much) but not in a good way. Finish is medium long with unpleasant burned woody taste. Master's selection or legacy is a completely different story though.
