Close match 01
Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks
Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks Single Traditional Blended Rum
Appleton Estate · The Whisky Exchange

43% ABV. A Jamaican pot-and-column blended rum aged a minimum of 12 years, delivering tropical fruit, hazelnuts, molasses, creamy vanilla, fresh orange zest and ground coffee. Rich, balanced and built to sip. Chairman's Reserve is defined by its pot-and-column still blend, its sweet tropical fruit character, and that signature interplay of caramelised fruit, vanilla and light spice. Appleton Estate 12 Year Old Rare Casks follows the exact same blueprint — a hand-blended marriage of pot and column distillates, aged longer for even more depth, from one of the Caribbean's great estate distilleries. Where Chairman's gives you cooked banana and chocolate, Appleton 12 Year Old trades up to dried tropical fruits, hazelnut richness and espresso depth — all grounded by the same creamy vanilla and citrus lift you love. If you enjoy sipping Chairman's Reserve neat or over ice, this is your natural next step.

Close match 02
El Dorado 15 Year Old Rum
Ron Abuelo 15 Year Old Oloroso Cask Finish / Small Bottle
El Dorado · The Whisky Exchange

43% ABV. A multi-still Demerara rum from Guyana blended from rums produced across several of Guiana Distillers' historic wooden stills, offering rich toffee, dried fruit, vanilla, oak spice and a long, warming finish. Chairman's Reserve wins fans with its lush sweetness, well-rounded structure and the interplay of tobacco, caramelised fruit and vanilla — all hallmarks of a serious blended Caribbean rum. El Dorado 15 Year Old channels that same philosophy from a completely different corner of the Caribbean, drawing on Guyana's legendary Demerara heritage and a network of historic stills that add extraordinary complexity. The flavour world is unmistakably familiar: rich dried fruits, toffee warmth, oak spice and that long, smooth finish that rewards slow sipping. A different island, a different producer, the same soul — and arguably even more depth for the price.

Wildcard pick 03
Hampden Estate Eight Year Old Rum
Hampden Estate Rum Fire / White Overproof
Hampden Estate · The Whisky Exchange

46% ABV. A pure pot still Jamaican rum aged eight years in tropical conditions, with explosive aromas of ripe banana, allspice, orange zest and baked apple, followed by ginger, vanilla, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. TWE Rum of the Year 2024. You clearly love a Caribbean rum that's generous with its tropical fruit and never shy about character — and Hampden Estate Eight Year Old turns that dial all the way up. Where Chairman's Reserve keeps things smooth and accessible, Hampden leans into the wild, funky pot-still intensity that makes Jamaican rum so addictive: banana bread, overripe fruit, warming spice and a finish that lingers long after the glass is empty. It's a deliberate step into more adventurous territory, but the core flavour DNA — tropical fruit, vanilla, spice, cacao — is the same world you already love. If Chairman's Reserve is your everyday sip, Hampden Eight Year Old is your Friday night discovery.
