Complex but still easy sipping A solid stepping stone for those building their palate, this 12‑year Saint Lucia blend (pot, column and agricole) at 46% brings vanilla, caramel, honeyed fruit and balanced oak. Enjoyed neat as an easy yet characterful sipper by RumX members.
Fans of slightly sweet, complex island rums who enjoy vanilla, caramel and honeyed fruit with some agricole and pot-still character in a comfortable 46% sipper.
Anyone avoiding dosed rums, those seeking totally dry profiles, or drinkers very sensitive to moderate alcohol warmth.

Review by Timo Groeger
Great rum, like all Chaimans. One of the best distilleries. This one has a lovely vanilla and caramel note, very delicious. You can't really go wrong with Chairmans.
Review by Beancheese
This rum did a nice job of blending pot and column as well as some cane juice to have a solid final product. Nice complexity in this lighter rum bottled at 46%. Loses slight marks for using a small amount of dosing but hard to deny this was a pleasant drink.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
This bottling has an ultra-complex bouquet of honey, ripe fruits, vanilla, caramel and oak and in the mouth a nice big fullness with fruity notes and nuts and perfectly balanced wood influence. The finish is perfectly balanced and it is, if anything, a challenging rum, but in a really cool way.

Review by Stefan L
This is nice, Saint Lucia is getting more and more interesting.
Review by Stefan Persson
It’s very complex and it’s no wonder when you know that it’s a blend of two different pot stills distillates, column distillate and also Agricole. The only negative is a little too much alcoholic taste.
Review by Daniel
Conclusion: Limited sweet rum that tastes ok and pleasant on the nose before. Vanilla, nut, fruit and honey sweetness are among the prominent flavors. Easy sipping.
