Review by Stefan L
Wow!! 😍 This one is great, complex and I really like the style.
Review by Rodolphe
St Lucia distillers master's selection is always good, even very good. But this is better than very good. In my opinion, the best St Lucia distillers I've ever tasted. Perfect balance. Very, very good.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
still a very, very cool blend of John Dore & vendome to perfection!🇱🇨❤️🤤 something between peach iced tea, papaya mint salad & rose water mango lassi papaya with a good portion of wood and shoe polish in the finish... totally wacky, totally exciting, I want more of it 😍🤤
Review by Lukas Jäger
Wahnsinn! Eine Abfüllung, die mich von Tag 1 gefesselt hat, als noch vor Verkaufsstart plötzlich ein Sample in meinem Briefkasten lag. Fruchtig, herb, holzig, charakterstark - eine tolle Mischung aus Vendome & John Dore. Ein bisschen wie fassgelagerter Pfirisch-Eistee!

Schöne Bourbon Geruch, zudem Tabak und Leder. Ausgezeichneter Chairmans
Review by Chris L
Incredibly varied fruit basket on the nose without being too intrusive, very round, rather spicy on the palate, outstanding St. Lucia!
Review by Johannes
Well selected hammer fabric!
Review by Michael Schillheim
For me, still among the top 3 of all the Chairman's I have tasted. Great nose, reminiscent of an exotic fruit salad. Spicy, herbs, tea, light mint and a non-distracting chemical note. This potpourri continues on the palate, ending slowly in a long finish with a slight umami.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Runde Mischung aus würzig, scharf, röstig-rauchig und Tee. Wenig Frucht.
Review by DomM
Without any bias towards the lovely team who picked this one: this is a damn good Chairman’s indeed. Colin back to this, after some time the bottling never disappoints. Due to its relatively young age at bottling, it is more punchy and vibrant then some older contenders of the session. Wood has not taken over so much, leaving more room for an intense basket of tropical fruits (papayas) and some spices/dirt on the nose as well as on the palate. Excellent stuff.
Review by Serge
Leckerer Chairman‘s … gefällt mir gut. Tolle John Dore & Vendome Kombi mit viel Papaya, Möbelpolitur, vergorenen Frücheten. Lecker. Schmeckt mir super gut. Etwas Minze ist auch dabei. Top Rum, nichts zu meckern.
Review by cigares
Fruit (yellow fruit and citrus) dominates on the first nose, with a sort of varnish and fairly dry cedar wood and a slight vegetal note. The palate is rather soft, then alcohol and aromas become more powerful, with cedar wood in the aftertaste, reminiscent of a sauna. A powerful, alcoholic, woody (cedar) finish that calls for a fine cigar!
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
Rum or fifty shades of mint. Am now a mint fan and just follows me in every second rum. Here again in a new facet. Fruity Jamaican mint with a touch of rosemary.In the mouth, the fruits are riper, dried, but the mint is fresh. The spiciness of ginger and pepper brings a pleasant warmth, but is never biting, as with the Evanius Harris.In the finish comes after the mint again some sweet mango around the corner.Super rum!
Review by Tschusikowsky
I didn't like it that much the first few times. Took the sample out again today and find it very tasty. The strong mint component reminds me of a TDL. Smoky, intensely minty, chocolate and leather, dried fruit, medicinal notes. Generally well balanced due to the sweetness. Delicious rum.
