Review by Simon Leroux
Un rhum puissant et complexe, bien fait.
Review by Stefan L
Second tasting and I like it. It’s very different in taste profile and a great and interesting rum. Not for the beginner but educating and a great rum reference.
Review by Rodolphe
Intense! Excellent rum, complex and intense. But with two concerns for me. The first one is the woody too present with the menthol which clearly takes the upper hand at the beginning. It is necessary to leave a lot of time for the other flavors to settle down. Then the alcohol is strong, I find that it gains in pleasure with a drop of water. I am quibbling a little, it is still really good!
Review by Oliver
A highlight from St. Lucia with perfect maturation. To the point. 👌🏼🥃
Review by Speedflo
I compared the three Chairman's Reserve 9Y RA&RTN, the 9Y Evanius Harris and the 20Y Old Brother in a crosstasting. A little unfair to the two 9Ys, but that was to be expected. The 20Y ageing did the rum a lot of good. Very complex but still round and balanced. Very tasty and my favorite in this tasting.

For the price you get a lot I think. Once rested you get a nicely balanced rum with light fruit and nice roasted wood. Intense and lightly dry on the palate.
Review by Johannes
For me, too much barrel influence with pronounced menthol notes.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
The nose awaits with lots of pineapple, cherry, menthol, resin and some nutmeg and young wood.Taste then first really bitter, very woody, burnt and astringent with lots of tannins. When you get used to it a bit cherry, ginger, strong espresso, allspice and licorice come to it and a lot of bitter roasted notes. For me it is altogether a bit too much wood and too bitter. nevertheless for the age and alcohol strength a very good st Lucia single cask. the younger 19y old Rum Stylez I like much better in comparison....
Review by Jackie Flannery
I wanted to explore a well-aged CS rum from Santa Lucia. I’m convinced that I prefer rums between 8 up to 15 years and rather aged in Europe. Let’s see how I do with this 20y 65,1% pot still beast. C: 20y Tawny N: Dark fruits: figs, grapes, overripe super sweet peaches and new IKEA furniture. Incredible nose. Nosing it further I get a sharp fume hiding in the background. It wants so much to get in front of that amazing marmalade. After a while it does, it´s the famous pencil shaving aroma typical of some Guyanese rums. It brings this bitter almond fragrance I’ve a hard time liking. Fumes of acetone as well. M: Big mouth, full on pencil shavings and bitter almond. That sweet marmalade has no chance to get in front. Spicy as well. F: Long, pencil shaving and dark fruits. B: No
