Aroma visualization from community tastings
Chairman's Reserve Master's Selection (K&L Wines) 2011
The twist here is how it flips: a fruit-basket nose — lemon peel, apple, dried fruit, light caramel — that turns dry and herbal the moment it hits your tongue. Tea, flowers, toasted oak and warm spice take over, with the fruit fading right back. At 54% the alcohol sits well integrated. A capable single-cask St. Lucia, though a few members wish it dug deeper.

Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Dry, herbal St. Lucia that starts fruity The recurring verdict: an elegant, well-made Chairman's that shifts from fruity to dry, but several tasters find it lacks the depth and punch of St. Lucia's best.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
19.12.2020 Nice tasting shortly before Christmas in a private area of the bar. Unfortunately this very old bar closed down in 2023. Notes Dark in colour. Nose Intense, wood, tannins, vegetal, herbs, floral, light caramel. Palate Warm and intense, wood, roasted, banana, citrus, light mint, leather. Finish Medium to long, wood, medicinal, light chocolate, herbs.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Usual solid Chairmans.
Review by Jakob
Quite broad spectrum of flavors, but without the extreme expressions, which for me make the appeal of the best St. Lucia bottlings. Nevertheless, very successful.
Review by Buddudharma
Mild combination of pot and column still. In total, the pot still has the upper hand in terms of taste, the column still does not make a noticeable positive contribution. Intensity a bit too low. Since I like other bottlings significantly better...
Review by The Auditor
Nose: Licorice, Toasted Coconut, Raspberry, Cinnamon, Menthol. Palate: Medium mouthfeel, Licorice, Toasted Coconut, Menthol, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Allspice. Finish: Medium length finish, Allspice, Cinnamon, Menthol, Black Pepper, Raspberry. Rating: 6/10 Very good. Like the flavors, the Menthol notes are weird but a fun addition that don’t overpower too much. Its good as I
