Chairman's Reserve Master's Selection (LMDW Collection New Vibrations) 2006
Give it 20 minutes in the glass — this one doesn't show up right away. Once it opens you get leather, tobacco and roasted, almost charred wood over a dark tropical-fruit base, with a thread of menthol running underneath. One taster called it "dark but absolutely pleasant," and that's the read: a big, brooding 15-year Saint Lucia pot still. At 59% the heat mostly stays in check, though a few felt the alcohol could be tighter.
The community says- Leather and tobacco

Review by Double Barrel
Tasted at Whisky Live, great selection, another delicious Saint Lucia, bursting with fruit and very well balanced. The woodiness is indeed noble and stays in its place, bearing in mind that once the bottle is opened it will tend to diminish further, so this rum can only improve over time. Distilled in Vendôme
Review by ilRummista
A very good Saint Lucia. Great nose that bodes very well. On tasting, especially in the first few sips you can taste a little too much alcohol which, in my opinion, has not been integrated very well. Otherwise, it is a really good product. I definitely recommend tasting it!
Review by Righrum
A nice expression, tasted in a Chairman's reserve lineup, it stood amongst the best. Nice leather-ey and woody profile, really dark but absolutely pleasant. With a bit of rest it opens up and especially at the nose has an interesting vanilla sugar note.
Review by Johannes
In contrast to other Chairmans, it falls somewhat short. Very bitter, astringent, menthol, not very fruity, somewhat smoky with hints of whisky. For me, this rum has passed its zenith in the cask.
Review by Jakob
Great complexity, a bit edgier than the sister release from 2010, but the Chairmans remain almost through the bank absolutely convincing releases - so also here.
Review by Rodolphe
Tasted on Live. A fine selection on the gourmet side, typical of Vendôme chez Chairman. Very tasty.
