Review by Buddudharma
Kann die relativ schlechten Bewertungen ehrlich gesagt nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Ein weiterer sehr schöner Rum aus St. Lucia, aus meiner Sicht eine der unterbewertetsten Destillerien der Welt. Verglichen mit der Referenz GotA etwas weniger komplex, trotzdem ein wundervolles Geschmacksprofil zu einem ok Preis. Edit: Muss hier nochmal ein paar Punkte nach oben korrigieren. Die schmutzigen Noten, die hier besonders ausgeprägt sind, harmonieren wunderbar mit den floralen, fruchtigen und holzigen Noten. Ein tolles Fass!
Review by Jakob
Impressive complexity, almost everything takes place here. Clearly floral hints, fresh tropical fruits, tea, barrel, light roasted aromas, elegant spices...this should show the aromatic complexity of the St. Lucia profile close to the optimum. I like it very, very much.

Sehr würzig und pfeffrig. Angenehmer wie der Brothers. Reiht sich für mich in die sehr gute Chairman‘s Master Reihe ein.
Review by Johannes
Typical, powerful, very good Lucia profile!
Review by DosenZorn
Crosstasting Saint Lucia:Chairmans German Ed. (RX11467) vs.Chairmans Kirsch (RX15045) vs.Chairmans Antipodes (RX13430):By far the fruitiest nose. Very sweet with vanilla. Would guess from the nose storage in bourbon barrel without looking. Interesting how different the three are on the nose.Again a tiny bit worse integrated alcohol than the Kirsch, but still better than the Germans. Also on the palate a great fruit note, which both predecessors in the form did not have. More tropical fruit here, especially mango.Picking a winner here is insanely difficult. All are super; and super different. For me, the Antipodes crosses the finish line first with a photo finish, closely followed by the Kirsch. And only a little behind comes the Germans.

Franconian Tasting Gang Im Vergleich zu den anderen die wir probiert haben, war dieser eher über dem Schnitt seiner Konkurrenten.
Review by Michal S
A decent rum, rich in aroma and taste. Don't look for sweetness, but rather a variety of fruits and flowers.
Review by Djehey
Il me fait penser au Galion un peu vieillit chez Nectar ou à un Fiji. Prix élevé. Je lui préfère le Rhum Attitude.
Review by Thunderbird
In direct comparison to the Kirsch, the Antipodes falls off, although it is also a very good Chairman's. It lacks a bit of presence
Review by Godspeed
Pour les amateurs de la st.lucie c’est presque la perfection. Gros, fort, rond, et avec tous les saveurs signatures de chairman’s en attendance. Pas mon profil préféré mais je salue quand même un rhum très bien fait. Très agréable.
