Chairman's Reserve Master's Selection (Kratochvílovci)
People who already like Saint Lucia's dry, port-influenced style are the audience here. Expect coconut and dried fruit on the nose with a touch of caramel, then a spicy, port-sweet palate that turns dry with a slightly minty, technical edge. One taster called it a "nice full aroma, but taste is a bit flat" — a few felt this cask lacked a real face compared to its 60.7% sibling.

The look inside the bottle
How does Chairman's Reserve Master's Selection (Kratochvílovci) taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Dry, port-driven cask that finishes a touch flat Well-made single cask, but opinions vary: strong dry port and coconut up front, then several found the finish flat and a bit technical, less characterful than the sibling bottling.

Dry, very expressive, the port flavor can be smelled.
Review by Martin Ekrt
After my colleague with 60.7% I expected almost the same experience, but the opposite is true. In aroma just coconut boredom with a little dried fruit. Taste-wise it's not bad, but it just lacks some face. There is a hint of technicality, but overall I find this piece so unusually ordinary.
Review by Martin Švojgr
No, mám nějakou rozporuplnou chuťovou mysl. Barva velmi tmavá, říkám si, to bude zase pecka. Vůně asi ok, cítím koření med, kokos, portské. Ochutnám a teď přijde ten rozpor. Chuť kořenitá, sladší po portském a pak nic, přejde do rušivé technicity a mátou, která mi k tomu předešlému vůbec nesedí. Říkám si, sakra, ta druhá lahev pro Kratochvílovce byla daleko lepší, tomuhle bemohu dát ani 8/10. Tak si to tu pomalu cucám pp cestě vlakem a po xtém napití si říkám, že mne ta technicita možná i baví. Ale jen možná, vlastně nevím, tak proto 7.9/10.
Review by Richard Krupa
Coconut, chocolate and oranges. Compared to the 60,7% version there is a less pronounced aroma, in taste I feel no difference
