Review by Michael Turner
My best Chairman's so far. Very balanced between medicine, cognac barrel and maturity aromas like prune. Alcohol incredibly well integrated. Even my wife doesn't notice the 60%. Wonderful intensity and length.I should get a few bottles....
Review by MarcT
I like Chairmans, and this is a good one. Fruity Caramel, complex but in good balance. The end is quite woody, though.
Review by Thunderbird
Very round, very intense, alcohol perfectly integrated, balanced ratio between fruit, barrel and spice! Top rum

Battle Plantation Single Cask 2021 Saint Lucia 2010 LMDW Conquête 53,2% VS Saint Lucia 2007 The Nectar 60.2% : Le 2007 est un column still alors que le 2010 est un pot still. Une semaine de fermentation pour les deux, 156 g/HL AA d'esters pour le premier, 160 pour le second, 545 g/HL AA de composés volatiles pour le premier, 771 pour le second. Difficile de les départager tant ils sont similaires au nez et en bouche. On retrouve les mêmes marqueurs, et le column still n'a pas à démériter face au pot still. Au contraire, les 7 degrés supplémentaires rendent le 2007 un peu plus profond. Je n'élirais pas de vainqueur mais s'il fallait faire goûter l'un des deux à quelqu'un qui ne connaît pas Sainte Lucie, je choisirais le 2010, un poil plus accessible, tandis que pour quelqu'un de déjà initié, ce serait le 2007. Match serré, mais deux très bons jus dans tous les cas.
Review by RumTaTa
Second tasting: overall impression much weaker today (-5) Nose: Wow! Super complex! A mixture of Agricole and Guyana, great! Mouth: sweet and spicy and also super complex, I like it very much! Finish: continues with an emphasis on dark chocolate It's hard for me to capture everything this rum has to offer, but it's one of the best I've tasted so far. There is still enough in my sample for a second tasting 😁
Review by Basti
Die Nase erinnert stark an einen FS. Alkohol ziemlich gut integriert, dafür jedoch insgesamt trotz des relativ hohen ABV ziemlich flach und unspektakulär. Kurzer Abgang. Nach mehrfacher Verkostung bin ich nach wie vor der Meinung, dass das Profil eher Richtung Barbados (Foursquare) als St. Lucia geht. In Summe ein sehr zugänglicher Rum.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unusually sweet and drinkable St Lucia! Could pass blind as a Venezuela single cask. Nice notes of caramel, dark chocolate, herbs and hay, fruit bread and dried fruit and then some cappuccino, black pepper and coconut on the finish! I like it and it's easy to drink, but overall it somehow reminds me more of Foursquare or Venezuela than of St Lucia... Could totally pass for Foursquare or Venezuela blind. Still very tasty!

This is a pretty good rum considering the price tag at release. Fruity and nice caramel on the profile well balanced with the roasted and wood notes. Oily on the palate and draws really nice curtains. In the empty glass i can pick up some chocolate and light coffee.
Review by zabo
A beautiful bottling from Santa Lucia. But from memory, not the typical Chairman's profile I'm used to. I also had a little bit of Foursquare in my nose. All in all, I think this rum is very successful. In my opinion, the alcohol is well integrated and makes it a little quaffable. Thanks SaibotZtar for sharing.
Review by mto75
had I not just had the outstanding 2005/15 years Chairman's Master Selection (The Nectar 15th Anniv.) in the glass, the Plantation would probably have gotten a few points more. It's rounder, not as extreme. On the nose, raisins and also cognac notes from barrel aging. On the palate, caramel and chocolate. The 60% ABV of the Plantation strangely seems much more watery compared to the 64% of the Chairman's Nectar. I would not necessarily have expected that clearly 🤔.
Review by Stefan L
Second tasting and still really good.
Review by Piotr Ignasiak
Quite tasty and easy on palate despite the abv. I enjoy the chocolate notes, on the nose dried red fruit and grapes also detectable, potentially coming from the cognac finish. Not overly complex though, but still enjoyable. Good alcohol integration.
