"Woody/barrel, chocolate and a tiny bit of vanilla. The alcohol comes across as pungent. I would never purchase a bottle."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"Tried to use this rum in a rum/raisin cake and the result was amazing. This is a rum in the cheaper end of the spectrum and it's definitely a good beginner rum. Not as sweet as the rums from Riise, but getting close to it. The nose is light and sweet with chocolate, vanilla and oak with a touch of butterscotch. The palate is sweet with chokolate and nougat, but it also has a slight bitterness with nuts and fruits. The endof the palate has smoke to it. The finish is sweet with smoky leather and vanilla. Price to quality is very good."

"All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube."

"Though this rum could be a sipper we mostly use it for mixers in which it performs pretty well."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:

"Compared to the other releases from the Chairman's reserve I'd say this one is more refined and complex in the taste. A wonderful funky nose transcending into a wonderful complex palate with a spicy entry and a fruity touch to the end. The finish is long, deep and has complexity to it. This is a blend of 7.5 years John Dore, 7 years Vendome, 5.5 years Coffey RR104 and a 5 years John Dore. "

"Has little to do with rum, of course. But as a party drink and exciting cocktail ingredient definitely succeeded!"

Top review from Leo Tomczak:

"Spritziger hazelnut liqueur with a slightly burning finish. Certainly sugared, colored and flavored to spice up the neutral alcohol.Let's see how he performs in the cola.In the cola he beats as expected, although you can not do much wrong there. Therefore, slight upgrade to 30."
