People who chase dry, woody Saint Lucia pot-still rum will feel right at home here. Expect black tea, oak, spice and a smoky, medicinal edge rather than sweetness or big fruit. At 56.3% the alcohol reads well-integrated to most tasters, though a couple wanted more freshness and fruit. One reviewer called it a "Fruity Brother of Charles Hofer" — but most read it as tea-and-wood forward.

Dry, woody Saint Lucia sipper with black tea Most tasters rate this a strong, well-balanced Chairman's with a long dry finish and tidy heat. A few found the tannins and medicinal side too much and missed the fruit.

27.11.2025 Relaxing with an older sample while watching Hellboy. ------------- A pretty well balanced rum with a nice warm punch. Nice wood and ABV integration and rather light on the fruit. Super long and nice finish an absolute must try 😊

for me a bit too much tannins, too medicinal, and barrel influence and overall alcohol relatively strong and not perfectly integrated. Fruit is missing in the taste.
Review by Thunderbird
The last Chairman's in my tasting round. The nose is barely perceptible to me : caramel and vanilla and a touch of delicate yellowish fruit. On the palate it spreads creamy soft with some caramel, vegetal flavors, tannin and some wood, being relatively mild. The finish is dominated by licorice, wood and some tannin, but the whole is very balanced. A good Chairman's, but does not belong to the top.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
A very good chairman. Strong long finish.
Review by zabo
Spontaneously opened by Tobi at the Scheuenfest. From my patchy memory, I found this one really good. As far as I know, the alcohol was also pretty well integrated. But I'll probably have to taste it again in peace.
Review by Alex Kunath
Simply put... a strong Chairman! Vendome, in whatever variations, never seems to disappoint!
Review by Jakob
Beautiful complexity with wood, spices, citric aromas, wood, tea, roasted notes as well as caramel and vanilla. However, it could have a little more freshness for my taste.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Woody aromas on the nose. Little fruit, slightly earthy, floral. On the palate slightly floral, cold black tea, spicy-smoky and wood. Long dry and spicy aftertaste. Great bottling from this distillery.
Review by Gregor
It lingers long. The alcohol is super well integrated. Overall, this is a great product. It doesn't burn or scratch and tastes super intense. Again, I have my beloved black tea notes that I like so much. Definitely one to try.
Review by Vincent D
Woody nose. I detect citrus and light hints of chocolate. The rum immediately takes over the whole palate. It's warm and spicy. Still woody. Very dry. A bit more gourmandise on the finish. Unfortunately, not really my thing. A bit like tasting an old Bellevue from Guadeloupe which is not my thing at all.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
A very good and rounded Chairman's.
Review by Buddudharma
In St. Lucia they are obviously incapable of distilling bad rum. Great, very complex JDI & V profile that wonderfully combines the advantages of the two stills.

Read full review ›To be honest St Lucia Distillers simply do not get enough credit for what they do. They don't get talked enough about in Rum Enthusiast circles or on the various Facebook groups. As a result you'll probably have a decent chance of getting a bottle of this as its not...
