     It’s distilled in Coffey and Pot stills and then first aged separately before blended and aged for three more years. Total aging is six to eleven years. I think it’s a little bit better than their classic Reserve. In the front of the mouth it doesn’t taste very much, but when you swallow it all flavors arrive and stays there trough the rather long finish.

     Beautiful rum but I find the story very questionable. I was told 4 years ago at the German rum festival that only 3 barrels were found that had survived. Funnily enough, but there is the rum for years and it always comes replenishment....Lider a reason for me to buy no more products from chairman's. One should at least be honest with his customers

     Good rum at a fair price, which scores especially with its background story. Probably not for nerds, but for all who are looking for something above entry level and thereby a characteristic profile. Although significantly thinner and weaker, it still shows a profile of dry and spicy flavors (vA dried fruit), which I have come to know as characteristic of Chairman's.

     Bottle Market Bremen October 2024. Now a Chairman's. I love these rums. Nose is slightly sweet, also some wood and cask. On the palate also slightly deliciously sweet (vanilla and chocolate) and also some wood.
