Chairman's Reserve Master's Selection (Evanius Harris) 2011

Vendome pot-still fans and people who chase the funky, herbal St. Lucia style will feel at home here. Ripe banana, pineapple and citrus on the nose, then honey, pepper, herbs and a menthol-tea finish over charred oak. Several tasters find it "angenehm dreckig" — a bit dirty and medicinal in a good way. The recurring gripe: at 56% the alcohol can bite mid-palate.

The community says
  • Fantastic dirty nose
  • Herbal-mint complexity
  • But: Alcohol bite

An der Nase frisch, Zitrusfrüchte, ein bisschen Gummi. Nicht schlecht, aber auch kein Kracher. Im Mund dann aber eine unerwartete Geschmacksexplosion. Honig, würzig, florale Noten, Karamell und das Gummi aus der Nase. Wirklich sehr intensiv und insgesamt ein schöner spezieller Geschmack. Der Abgang ist recht lang, manchmal ein bisschen bitter, aber ansonsten leicht floral und auch das Gummi scheint wieder auf. Ich kenne es sonst eher dass die Nase mehr bietet als der Gaumen, aber das ist hier genau das Gegenteil. Rein vom Gaumen würde ich ihn recht hoch bewerten, aber dazu ist die Nase zu verhalten. In der Sampleflasche war noch ein bisschen Rest, der dann eine Woche später deutlich nach Kochschinken roch. Hatte leider nicht genug vom Rum um zu testen, ob das nach längerer Zeit im Glas auch passiert. #25:20250423

Chairman’s Tasting mit 3x Vendome (Evanius Harris, RMW, Rum&Co), 1x Vendome & John Dore Blend (Nectar) und 2x John Dore (Kirsch, Rum Exchange). Die Vendome-Abfüllungen etwas dreckiger und medizinischer, die John Dore fruchtiger. Von den Vendome war für mich der Evanius Harris am stimmigsten. Bei den John Dore hätte der Rum Exchange gewonnen, wenn er nicht so holzig wäre (bester in der Nase), so schmeckte mir der Kirsch besser. Insgesamt die Nr. 1 war aber der Necktar, der von beiden Stils das Beste vereinte, mild, lecker und auf den Punkt gereift war. Der beste der getesteten Vendome.

Am Community Tasting Nürnberg wurde das große Crosstesting der Chairman’s Abfüllungen als Motto ausgerufen. Vorweg mir haben alle geschmeckt. Bis dato kannte ich nur die Abfüllung von Kirsch und Perola. Ich war überrascht das die Geschmacksprofile doch so Unterschiedlich waren und denoch kein wirklich schlechter, aber auch keiner dabei war der sich richtig von den anderen abgehoben hat. Wenn man aber sieht, was man bei Chairman’s noch für sein Geld bekommt im Gegenzug, muss ich echt sagen KLASSE. Werde in diesem Bereich wohl mein Sammlung ohne schlechtes Gewissen erweitern.

This is a rum that makes me wonder how my perception can differ so much from others. I find hardly any fruit here beyond a ripe banana, but plenty of spicy, herbal and a bit of sweet wood. In the mouth, the herbs again hit first and foremost, followed by a mentholated finish. A powerful but harmonious rum develops on the minty lead note. It does not quite meet my taste with unmistakable quality. Update after half a year. I find the nose very good in the meantime. I have lost the banana and found citrus and peel. Somewhat reminiscent of the TDL menthol profile but in funky. In the mouth I find the alcohol too biting at only 56%. Nose top, finish very good, still air in between ( +2).

Mein erster Rum von Saints Lucia 🙂 Nase: Wow! Honig, Ananas und Zitrusfrüchte quellen aus dem Glas. Meine Frau sagt "Kumquats" und tatsächlich, das trifft es sehr gut! Je länger man sich mit dem Rum Zeit nimmt desto mehr verschiedene Aromen gibt er Preis! Mund: eins zu eins die Fortsetzung der Nase! Toll! Zusätzlich kommen die Fasseinflüsse Abgang: hier verstärkt sich die Tendenz und dunkele Schokolade und Würzigkeit kommt hinzu, die tropischen Früchten treten in den Hintergrund. Toller Rum! Da werde ich meine Augen nach Saints Lucia Rum offenhalten!

1. Tasting: Wow, Funk! Got Esters, Banana, Ananas. However, there is plenty left in this sample, so I will update with more detail at a later point. What I can say already: I like it! 2. Tasting: this happened after a while, and after having a bit of Agricole, so the initial difference in taste was quite appreciated. However, I found the rum to be a bit too sharp in its alcohol burn at the finish line, this time. 3. Tasting: this sample was 10cl. 😉 It is still quite sharp in the alcoholic burn, and leaves a slight metallic taste. I am a bit disappointed by it, as it starts really promising.

Saint Lucia Distillers 

Avg Rating 8.2/10 over 230 Rums

St. Lucia Distillers is the island's only distillery and one of the most versatile in the Caribbean. Four stills give it eight different distillates, molasses and cane juice, pot and column, which its blenders turn into everything from the humble Bounty to the cult Chairman's Reserve and the super-premium Admiral Rodney. It rebuilt itself after an arson fire and is now owned by the same group as Martinique's J.M and Clement.
