Chairman's Reserve Original's blend includes rums from pot and continuous stills aged for 9 months in new American oak before further aging in ex-bourbon and ex-Tennessee whiskey casks. After blending, the rum undergoes an additional 6 months of rest before bottling. Produced in Saint Lucia, an island country located in the Caribbean, the spirit takes its name from Laurie Barnard, who was the chairman of St. Lucia Distillers at the time of its debut.
The Chairman’s Reserve Rum is high on the twin spectrums of complexity and flavour, but their is also some unwanted heat in the delivery and exit which prevents the score from climbing higher.
It's not among the top sipping rums, but works very well in cocktails or other mixers. A pretty decent deal given its price point and complexity of production.
