Chairman’s Reserve Legacy 5-8 Years

was a sample in my 24 days of rum advent calendar (2022 ed) and quite enjoyable

After reading the other reviews i had to double check that i was drinking the correct rum. Didn't think it was overly tasty. Vanilla and wood with a grassy, bitter finish that detracts from my enjoyment of it.

Very nice smell and color, very fruity. Not too much burn. An average good sipper.

Not really tasty, sour taste on normal Spanish style foreground.

RO: asta imi vine in minte )) caramel sarat

nu e departe de forgotten cask, pare a fi mai zglobiu, mai tanar si nu mai pune la fel accentul pe condimentele negre, dar sunt prezente si aici, gustul de ananas e putin estompat dar pastreaza amareala din postgust care pare mai accentuata aici

EN: this comes to mind )) salted caramel

it's not far from forgotten cask, it seems to be younger and it doesn't emphasize the black spices as much, but they are also present here, the taste of pineapple is a little faded but it keeps the bitterness in the aftertaste that seems more accentuated here

I find the balance between the molasses and the cane juice based rum parts fascinating.
Basically, to my palate, it is fine as it is; not too sharp, complex and interesting, good value for the price.

It doesn't tolerate much water, though; adding a few drops releases a bit more flavors while taming the sharpness a bit. Yet, adding more, I find the blend falls apart.
So, the ABV could be a tad higher; 46% might provide more flavors and maybe some astringency from the cane juice based part, as I like astringent rums, such as the St. James 12 year-old.

Awesome, I just love it. Not too dry, not too sweet. Good spicy. Great to enjoy pure.

Finom illata van, már azon is érzeni, hogy ez egy száraz rum. Nekem túl száraz, nekem jobban fekszenek a gyümölcsösebb vaníliásabb rumok. Azoknak ajánlom, akik a szárazabb vonalat kedvelik.

Just as The Forgotten Casks - it is rich, oaky and feels much more premium than it's actual price tag might suggest.

I don't like this that much..It's way too grassy and not sweet at all. Probably not my style of rum.. Also feel like it's a bit young with a lot of sharp edges.
