Dark and heavy profile works very well with the influence from the port cask. While not overpowering, the additional fruity notes create further depth. While there is quite some wood in the profile after 20y tropical ageing, it’s not overly bitter. Nice one.

You really have to be a Port wine fanatic to like this bottling. Thanks, Tobi, for digging it up, but this is not my thing at all. The long time in the Port wine cask has ruined a lot and pretty much overpowers everything from the Chairman's profile. For those who like it.
Review by Serge
This Chairman’s is too strongly influenced by Port wine for me, both on the nose and on the palate. Tastes like a rather damp cask. But still dry. Not quite my thing. Otherwise very good, but you really have to like the wine/Port influence.
Review by Buddudharma
I'm generally not a big fan of Port "finishes," but here it works really well despite 17 (!) years of tropical aging (+3 Bourbon). The Vendome profile is strong enough to keep giving the rum its core character, while the Port influences nicely complement it. The alcohol integration is top-notch, the mouthfeel is nicely oily, and the finish is long. Great stuff!
Review by cigares
Un nez de fruits frais et de fruits tropicaux trop mûrs, du fût de chêne, des herbes sèches et quelques esters. La bouche est ample, avec des fruits trop mûrs et des esters. Le bois est bien intégré et on sent nettement l’influence du fût de Porto. Influence tout à fait agréable à mon goût. La finale est longue, sur les fruits trop mûrs, le Porto et une belle amertume boisée. Une belle acidité et les fruits restent encore plus longtemps.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Wirklich sehr cooles Port cask, vermutlich mein Liebling von den chairman's Port Versionen. Viel Kraft für ein gutes Gegengewicht zur süße. Alles in allem aber ein runder und leicht funkiger Rum den man mögen soll
