    "On the I was also already curious, because the 21-year-old 2000 RdL was a real grenade. The first impression at the RE is also positive, pretty heavy part, with red fruits and tobacco. However, as it dwells in the glass, tannins and something slightly acidic come through clearly. Charred barrel and dried fruit on the palate, tannins and black tea on the finish. Already quite extreme the bottling. The RdL - although also 21-year-old - I found a little more balanced."

    "Franconian Tasting Gang Noch einmal ein paar nebeneinander probiert. Aber da ich das Profil gerade nicht so mag ein wenig nach unten korrigiert. 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 one needs to rest for a good while or it'll try to burn the hairs in your nose and on your tongue 😊 Really well balanced once rested and all flavours are released. Lightly fruity with nice roasted wood. I love the menthol in the profile. The empty glass is really nice and there are additional chocolate flavours and a nice smoky touch."
