Chairman's Reserve Rum Original Miniatures 5cl

Chairman’s Reserve Original | 5cl Miniature

The Connoisseur’s Caribbean Standard: A Masterful Blend of Tradition

Step into the world of prestige Saint Lucian spirits with the Chairman’s Reserve Original Miniature. First created in 1999 by the Chairman of St. Lucia Distillers, Laurie Barnard, this rum was designed to be the ultimate expression of the island's unique "blended" style. It has since become a global icon, frequently cited by enthusiasts as one of the best value-for-quality rums in the world.

What makes Chairman’s Reserve distinctive is its marriage of Coffey column still and copper pot still rums. These two distinct styles are aged separately in ex-bourbon American oak casks before being blended together and returned to oak for a further "marrying" period. This extra step ensures a seamless integration of the column still’s elegance and the pot still’s powerful, funky complexity.

Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich and expressive. It opens with cooked banana, caramelized fruit, and the distinct scent of vanilla-spiced oak.

Serving Suggestions

The Chairman’s Mai Tai: Use the 5cl miniature as the perfect base for a high-end Mai Tai. The pot still components provide the "funk" needed to stand up to the lime and orgeat.
Neat Appreciation: Pour the miniature into a small glass and allow it to breathe for a few minutes. This is a "sipping" rum in miniature form—perfect for exploring the tobacco and raisin notes.
The Gourmet Pairing: Sip alongside a piece of dark chocolate (70% cocoa) or grilled pineapple with a sprinkle of cinnamon to amplify the rum’s natural caramelization.
The Ultimate Rum & Ginger: Top with premium ginger beer and a squeeze of lime. The clove and spice notes of the rum create a sophisticated, spicy highball.
