Chairman's Reserve Master's Selection (LMDW Collection New Vibrations) 2010
Old cedar, clove and camphor lead here, with roasted coffee, leather and dark caramelized fruit underneath — a single John Dore pot-still cask from Saint Lucia at full 61.1%. Tasters call it dark, dry and intense, with the medicinal streak running the whole way through. Fruit is there but stays behind the wood and spice. The alcohol is hot but well integrated.
The community says- Dark roasted depth
- Well-integrated alcohol
- But: Heavy clove/camphor

How does Chairman's Reserve Master's Selection (LMDW Collection New Vibrations) 2010 taste?
Aggregated from 53 community reviews.
Dark, dry, medicinal cask-strength St. Lucia Well-liked as a dark, spice-and-medicine-driven Chairman's, though several felt the 15-year sibling is more complex and a caramel finish flattens it slightly.

Franconian Tasting Gang on 19.04.2024 In today's Chairman's Comparison the New Vibrations compete against the 6th Rum&Co. The typical Chairman's profiles are clearly recognizable in both. My personal feeling, however, is that the New Vibrations is somewhat overpriced. There are considerably cheaper bottlings that are even better in taste.
Review by Serge
Super tasty St. Lucia Master's Selection ... pure John Dore 1 and really worthwhile and absolutely not bad. But not top class. Possibly not the full range that is possible with St. Lucia.
Review by Jakob
Classic Chairmans, for me slightly ahead of the older sister release from the New Vibrations series.
Review by Julien Ries
Chairman's reserve Master's reserve LMDW 2010 This traditional English rum comes to us from Saint Lucia. It is a molasses rum that figures 61.1°. It has an amber color. This rum is really off the beaten track. The nose has a little ester, but above all a pronounced medicinal profile: clove, camphor. The scents are quite irritating to the mucous membranes of the nostrils. There's a very dark side to this rum, with very old oak dust, and garage smells reminiscent of rather old Trinidad and Tobago profiles. I found the palate too rich in alcohol, like 70° camphorated alcohol for disinfecting wounds. The palate is coated with ginger and chili pepper, but clove and a little nutmeg still dominate. The taste is powerful and dark. The profile is roasted, smoky and roasted like a strong coffee. The finish leads on to gingerbread and medicine. The finish is very long, dark, with returning woodiness, cloves and a broader hint of medicine. This rum is not my cup of tea. While I couldn't drink several glasses, I can't take away this rum's complexity or originality. It deserves to be tasted at least once.
Review by Jarek
Franconian Rum Tasting Gang 19.04.2024 A tasty Chairman's, quite dark and strong, fruit is there but overall more on the woody and spicy side. Dark caramel and a note that reminds me of bacon. Alcohol is clear, but not yet disturbing, quite well integrated.
Review by cigares
Rum Friendly Club Advent Calendar Day 8. Un nez de végétaux fermentés avec un vieux bois de cèdre assez marqué mais pas envahissant. Des fruits trop mûrs, du poivre et un côté médicaments. Le bois de cèdre est très (trop?) marqué en bouche, puis arrivent les fruits tropicaux, les fruits secs et le rôti. Les côtés médicamenteux et fermenté enlèvent pas mal de gourmandise ici. La finale est le prolongement de la bouche.
Review by Rodolphe
The John Dore selection, much fruitier than its Vendôme sister, as you'd expect. Classic chairman profile, which in no way detracts from the fact that this is a very fine selection.
Review by kondgab
I prefer its 15 years brother. Classic Chairman profile with tropical fruits, wood and spicy nose. In the palate leather and wood emerges, followed by spicy and caramelized notes. Finish is medium. It is a bit overpriced.

Review by Buddudharma
St. Lucia's usual high standard, even if this cask is not in the top group. The complex and pleasant attack with the typical markers, but somewhat reduced esters and less pointed than in the top bottlings, should be emphasized positively. Alcohol integration is exemplary. The finish is not ideal, as a caramel note overlays the rest, to the detriment of complexity. There are better St. Lucias for the price.
Review by Gil Firth
What a beautiful bottle. Fruity. Dark. Intense. Love it. A but with the regular 48% off deal every half a month😜. בקבוק סנט לושיה בהילכתו. הפרופיל הכבד. הכהה. הפירותי והשוקולדי יותר. קצת קצת פאנק לא משהו פראי. מורכב. לא מאמין שבן 11. פשוט מזקקות הטובות בעולם איזה כיף רום מצויין לכל אחד.
Review by Double Barrel
Tasted Whisky Live, more incisive than its 15-year-old brother, but obviously less complex. Distilled in John Dore 1. Both selections are top-notch!
Review by Roman Lelek
The color - yellow gold and honey, but darker little bit. The nose - clove, camphor My personal note - its really different rum from what I have usually. This one is not sweet, no dominant wood or fruits, this one is more about spices and medicinal notes.. The palette - complex..each sip was little bit different.. enjoyed exploring it - its strong, dark and intense - spice, wood, I don’t feel fruits so much compared to other samples I’ve in last days..worth trying. I agree that I feel beacon too, intense alcoholic taste, but not harsh… The finish - warm, quite long, dry.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Solidní hutná, zemitá až zatuchlá vůně. Něco chemie a přijde mi to jak po whisky finiši. Ovoce jen zlehka. Chuťově docela masakr. Hodně tříslovin, ale rád to prominu, protože jinak to je pecka. Víc Masters prosím.
