The gold standard of spiced rum
Chairman's Reserve Spiced is proof that spiced rum can be a serious category. Real aged rum, real spices, real craftsmanship. The banana and coconut base, the cinnamon and nutmeg warmth, the clove and vanilla depth — it's extraordinary. Sip it neat and you'll forget every bad spiced rum experience you've ever had.

Good but slightly pricey for spiced
The quality is undeniable — this is a proper spiced rum made with real aged spirit and real spices. Banana, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg. But it costs significantly more than Kraken or Sailor Jerry, and in a rum and cola most people won't notice the difference.

Converted me to spiced rum
I used to dismiss all spiced rum as artificially flavoured rubbish. Chairman's Reserve Spiced changed my mind completely. The aged rum base brings genuine depth — banana, coconut, vanilla — and the spices add warmth without overwhelming. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove in perfect harmony. A revelation.

Saint Lucian spice magic
The combination of Saint Lucian pot and column still rum with Caribbean spices is inspired. Cinnamon and nutmeg lead, supported by clove and vanilla, but the banana and tropical fruit from the base rum are always present. Makes an incredible Rum Punch or Dark and Stormy.

Natural spice you can taste
The difference between artificial and natural spicing is stark, and Chairman's Reserve proves it. The cinnamon has a real bark character, the nutmeg is warm and aromatic, the vanilla is genuine. Combined with the excellent Saint Lucian rum base, it's in a different league from mass-market spiced rums.

Spiced rum done properly
This is what spiced rum should be — real aged rum with real spices, not artificial flavourings dumped into cheap spirit. The cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and vanilla complement the banana and coconut of the base rum beautifully. You can taste the Saint Lucian quality in every sip.

Head and shoulders above the competition
While Kraken and Captain Morgan rely on heavy flavouring to mask average base spirit, Chairman's Reserve starts with genuinely good aged rum and adds spice with a light hand. The result is complex — banana, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg — with the rum character always shining through.
