The Chairman's Reserve 2008 Master's Selection Rhum Attitude is a limited release rum crafted by Saint Lucia Distillers, prominently known for their exceptional rum-making artistry. Distilled in 2008 from molasses using a column still, this remarkable spirit has been aged for 13 years in an old bourbon cask, resulting in a robust 56.9% ABV. With only 227 bottles ever produced, it stands as a rare and highly sought-after treasure among rum aficionados.
The rum presents an intricate bouquet of aromas featuring vanilla, coconut, roasted nuts, and burnt sugar. Upon tasting, the palate is enveloped by a rich oily texture, bursting with flavors of roasted and caramelized nuts adorned with sweet spices. The mid-palate intensifies with stronger spices and roasty notes, leading to a finish that reveals nuances of toasted American oak imparting woody, cereal-like, and resinous qualities, with a hint of banana.
With aeration, this rum unfurls additional layers, showcasing light solvent notes, roasted rye bread, toasted hazelnuts, and sweeter accents of vanilla or toasted coconut. Fruit preserves such as peach, guava, and orange peel become apparent, adding to its complexity.
This 100% column-still molasses rum from Saint Lucia epitomizes the tropical aging process. The barrel, numbered 0885112008, was selected by cellar master Cyril Mangal in collaboration with the Rhum Attitude team, ensuring a meticulous selection that reflects their expertise. The result is a beautifully concentrated rum with notes of nougatine caramel, popcorn, and gently roasted almonds. Recognized for its accessible and gourmand profile, this rum offers an inviting experience characterized by smooth, well-integrated flavors, making it a great value for its price. Some enthusiasts even compare its taste profile to that of a Foursquare rum.
