Chairmans Reserve - Rum Club


Hey Rum Bums! This months Rum Club was super fun, with Chairmans Reserve in the glasses and new  “old style” Puerto Rican meals on the plates; there’s no way you couldn’t have a good time.

As Mentioned, our featured rum this month was Chairmans Reserve Spiced Rum and White Label which was served alongside four courses of yummy classics: Mini Bacailitos, Pechuga, Mofongo, and a sweet moist Tres Leches.

The Menu was so tempting; the owner of Chairman's Reserve, Clyde Davis Jr. had planned on coming out to Seattle specifically for this event!  His flight was canceled by inclement weather but that did not stop the rest of us from enjoying his wonderful rum. With award winning blends and pot still rums averaging five years, six different types of “hand-blended” rums, and using only Rainforest water there’s no question why or how this rum has made it to our Rum Club.

We want to thank everyone who came out regardless of all the holiday shenanigans, we love your company and can’t wait to see you all next month for Rum Club on January 29th!
