Review by Kieron Wood
I'm by no means a pro ...(have tasted 400+rums ) but I'm always drunk ... Poured to let it breathe and the room is filled with butterscotch and bourbon smells . Genuinely could smell it from my kettle which is about 3m away. Raisens ,caramel follow on the nosing of it , pecans,slight acetone and heavy cask . 2nd nosing banana and chocolate ( I know my brain is going nuts) I'm going in ...tatsing over about 5 minutes .. Front of tongue woody cask and the raisen note . . mid pallette rum and raisen now fills my whole mouth at a high strength .. The finish is looooonnnggg with that vendome cask wow ... Now added an ice cube (sacrilege I know) but find the ice changes the dimension of the drink Renosing changes to a sweetness of a bourbon cask , the ice has brought out the cask notes Ice kills the front pallette taste but from middle onwards takes you on a journey of a stunner of a rum caramel , toffees ,RUM in huge quantities ... Being honest on its own I struggle with more than 3 of these (I'm an overproof fanatic and most of my r drunk is over 50%) .... With ice I could sit and drink all evening ... I'm quickly hiding the bottle I'm even sucking the ice cube left in the glass Couple of drops of water and Swil next time Better than anything I have ever tasted from St Lucia

Review by Buddudharma
Once again a great Vendome. It is impressive how much weight and complexity is already present in the profile after 9 years of maturation. The typical markers of ester, tar, spices of all kinds and burnt sugar are there, with the dirty elements being relatively pronounced. The fruit notes are more in the background, but complement the profile well. Alcohol is perfectly integrated. Great stuff!
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Oh my! That's just a rum that's been aged for 9 years? That's crazy! I'll have to take a closer look at this one. But it already has 88 points for sure.

In the nose: banana,wood and a bit dirty. The palate is similar with spice and chocolate. Long finish
Review by zabo
Franconian Tasting Gang on 23.11.24 at Jarek. The Chairman's from WuDramClan had to serve as a comparison to this bottling. As a conclusion for me, this rum is a little overrated. Personally, I like the bottling from WDC a tick better.

Franconian Tasting Gang - 23.11.2024: Tasted together with the Chairman's Wu Dram Clan. Nice dirty notes. Also banana and yellow fruit.a successful Chairmen's but slightly overrated in my eyes.
Review by Johannes
Super Lucia! Eher auf der adstringierenden Seite, nicht so fruchtig.
Review by Serge
Delicious St. Lucia ... more on the fermented fruity side with banana and mango. I like it very much on the nose. Also overpowering on the palate with fermented fruit and wood ripeness. Very tasty. You can take it with you without hesitation. A great Vendome.
Review by Thunderbird
A pretty good St. Lucia, with a subtle nose, an intense palate and a somewhat unusual cherry flavor for me. Reminds me a little of a Ten Cane. If the alcohol had been better integrated, I would have given it a better rating.
