Chairman’s Reserve Spiced Rum contains local spices and fruits including cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, vanilla, coconut, all spice, lemon and orange. These spices and fruits are added to rums distilled in copper alembic pot and continuous stills that are then aged in Kentucky Bourbon barrels to give a complex and balanced spice rum. We have found Chairman’s Reserve Spice benefits from a combination of steeping certain spices in the rum for up to a year while the other ingredients are added during the blending process. In this way we can bring out the flavor of the spices and fruits while preserving the complexity and harmony of the underlying rum.
Tasting Notes: Deep mahogany colour with reddish tinges. Beautifully complex nose of bitter orange, nutmeg, cinnamon and sweet raisin. On the palate a rich sweet mouth feel with exotic spice – nutmeg, vanilla, clove and balanced by a crisp citrus orange peel character. A hedonistic but complex spice rum. "This might be the best spiced rum yet to come on the market...I'd never been a fan of spiced rums, such as Captain Morgan or Sailor
Jerry, but Chairman's Reserve was subtle and delicious. It has changed
my opinion." -Jason Wilson, Washington Post "Rum used to be either Harsh & White or
Harsh & Spiced. But these days, hard-core mixologists are making
tiki drinks, and you can pick up sugarcane juice as complex and
delicious as a single malt for much less cash. It's time to get to know
your rums. Chairman's Reserve Spiced Rum is infused with a blend of bitter orange, clove and nutmeg that changed our mind about spiced rum." - Stan Parish, GQ Magazine
