Review by Johannes
Super balanced! Beautiful tropical maturation! Amazingly good!
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
For my 600th I could hardly wish for a better one. WOW what a pound. Perfectly balanced.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Wow, was für eine geile Abfüllung! Chairman’s hält immer wieder schätze bereit, aber der ist echt eine Wucht! Mango meets Schwarztee und Eukalyptus/Minze. Dazu ordentlich Fass, Tanine, aber alles noch im angenehmen Rahmen. Sehr vielschichtig und komplex, lediglich die Vollmundigkeit geht ihm etwas ab. Ansonsten wirklich lecker!
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Beautifully intense and yet balanced. The is deultich above the already very good average of the Chairman's Master tasted by me.
Review by Gregor
Im Geruch sehr fruchtig. Tolle mangotöne. Im Geschmack dann intensiv nach schwarztee. Kenne ich normalerweise eher von Rums aus Trinidad. Gefällt mir sehr gut. Der Alkohol ist sehr schön eingebunden. Top rum
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Extremely good vendome! Intense, fresh, oily, dirty and extremely long finish. Fat!
Review by Tim
Grandiose komplexe Nase, die genau die richtige Menge an Aromen hat, die sonst etwas unangenehm sein könnten (z.B. Rauch). Ausgewogen und rund, gefällt richtig gut. Im Mund wie erwartet richtig trocken, würzig, bitter und holzig.
Review by Buddudharma
Long aged rum from the Vendome Still. Beautiful profile, with berry fruits, wood, sweetness and spices. For me personally a little too astringent, but still a rum at an insanely high level. Vendome can do no wrong!
Review by Alex Kunath
Fantastic full-length nose! Only minimally less good on the palate. Quite strong chairman.
Review by Basti
Could also pass for a representative from Guyana or Barbados from the nose alone. Alcohol very well integrated.
Review by Jakob
Fruity freshness paired with wood influences, which provide for gripping aromatics, but remain very balanced. I lack a bit of depth, which comes through, for example, the mint and even more accentuated tea notes in other releases to bear. Still very pleasant to drink. Successful release.
