Rating: 6/10
Very good. Like the flavors, the Menthol notes are weird but a fun addition that don’t overpower too much. Its good as I said, but having had quite a few of these Chairman’s selects it doesn’t quite rise to the depth of flavor or interest of some others. However, these are still some of the best values in rum in the U.S. right now, and I would blind buy just about any Chairman’s select.
