Blue Chair Bay Vanilla Rum

Vanilla is the dessert-cart bottle in Kenny Chesney's rum line — the country star launched Blue Chair Bay in 2013 after years of island living, naming it for a blue chair on a Caribbean beach where, he says, all his best ideas came. It starts with the brand's Caribbean white rum, aged in oak and blended in Barbados, infused with natural vanilla and bottled at 32.5% ABV (65 proof) in the beach-blue bottle. Expect a rich, sweet nose of vanilla bean and cream — more custard than candy — opening into a smooth, soft, gently sweet palate where the vanilla wraps around the rum's light molasses, finishing warm and easy. Honest note: this is a sweetened, lower-proof flavored rum built for mixing and dessert drinks — rum enthusiasts should look elsewhere on the shelf, and everyone else will find vanilla is one of the most useful flavors on a bar cart. It's the rum for a vanilla rum and cream soda, a Vanilla Rum and Coke, a spiked root beer float, a rum-spiked cold brew, a Key Lime Pie cocktail, or a Painkiller with an extra dessert note. Chesney's own serve: with ginger ale and a squeeze of orange. No shoes, no shirt, no problems.
