Distiller Notes
A blend of Coffey (column) and pot stills, the rum is a blend of juice aged from 7 – 10 years in used American oak barrels. Individual "forgotten" casks (aged 2-5) were blended together and aged as a blend for an additional 5 years to create the final product. Wonderfully intense nose of sweet raisin, sultana and hints of tobacco and vanilla from the oak. Intense palate with sweet honeyed fruit and spices giving a wonderfully complex rum.

An extra-aged version of Chairman’s Reserve, aged up to 10 years. Stunning deep orangeamber-tea color with an assertive nose of dried figs and dates and toasted wheat bread spread with orange marmalade. The flavors combine a brine as well as honeyed oak with an Armagnac character throughout. A fine astringency hits mid-palate—with a walnut dryness and a caramel candied note. The finish combines Pekoe tea, tannin and a graceful spice.
Often referred to as a Gold Rum, an Aged Rum is one that has been aged in barrels, often Ex-Bourbon or White Oak before bottling. As the Rum continues to age, it draws more and more color and flavor from the wood, adding both body and complexity to the finished product. Aged Rums can be sipped neat or added to cocktails. They fall somewhere in between White and Dark Rums in terms of their respective strength of flavor.
