Chairman‘s Reserve Master's Selection (German Edition)

"Rum and chocolate tasting by Rum Club Switzerland. A woody nose with black tea and leather, but as if slightly attenuated. Tobacco and heavy oak on the palate. Short to medium length. A well-made rum, but a little dull and monolithic, the heaviness a little pronounced for my taste."

"Very heavy on dark and woody notes, some spices and bourbon cask influence."

"Beautiful harmony of black tea, green fruits and bourbon notes. Spicy, minty and pleasantly sweet on the palate. Very good rum from Saint Lucia!"

"The bourbon barrels come out clearly. A bit spicy, but a very good St. Lucia. 👍"

"Tasted in direct comparison with the RumX bottling. The first thing that stands out is that the German Edition is much more immature compared to the RumX. Lemon and green apple instead of ripe tropical fruit. Wood and spice are much more restrained. The somewhat lighter color also speaks for a weaker barrel influence. The nose is nevertheless pleasing. In the mouth, the acidity is once again very present, and the alcohol is much more unpleasant than in the RumX. That is to become really annoying at the edge. Behind that is then the herbal side plays up big: Green peppers, chili, black tea. The finish continues to be sour and astringent without much new facet. The nose is really nice, but this comparison unfortunately shows a class difference."

"No idea what my problem was here 4 years ago but I have to correct this rating upwards 😆 overall rather very mentholy fresh, sour and slightly spicy after green chili, spicy fermented, bitter, rubbery and a little umami. Not 100% to my taste but 4.6 points back then was definitely not fair. maybe something was wrong with my sample 🫣😆"

"another St. Lucia firecracker 💥 The Nectar 15 Anniversary was erwas stronger with the dried fruit faction. This one goes more in the direction of 'dirty TDL'. I like but also really good!"

"Very tasty rum from Saint Lucia. Good balance between fresh mint / menthol, lemon and dry woody leather and tobacco. A little pepper and chili is also there. Compared to the GotA more alcohol in the taste, although actually less alcohol contained. The menthol flavor is much more intense here. Thus less round like the GotA, but still super interesting."

"Killing bottles again at last. Second rum after the time out and what better way than to teach your buddy rum. Today one of my favorite countries - StLucia. This time the German Edition, and it's simply a great one. Strong spicy wood notes, but not unpleasant. The fruit is more in the background and harmonizes very well with a strong rum!"

"Oh oh another beautiful Chairman! St Lucie is really something, especially on the very old ones. Wood, wax, tobacco galore, with a background of fruit and caramel that lighten a rather dark profile. The only note that brings the total down a little is that the yellow lemon is quite noticeable, and not necessarily to my taste."

"Not nearly as complex compared to GotA! Nevertheless, a very good rum and clearly softer, almost round"

"Need to air o long time to the best out of it!"

"Komplexität in Vollendung"

"Komplexe Mischung aus Gewürzen, Zitrusfrüchten, Tabak und Eiche."

"Crosstasting Saint Lucia: Chairmans German Ed. (RX11467) vs. Chairmans Kirsch (RX15045) vs. Chairmans Antipodes (RX13430): Die Nase ist schonmal sehr interessant, Honigartige Süße, rote Früchte, ne Mischung aus Wachs und Gummi und florale Teenoten begleitet von Holz. Sehr vielschichtig und viel zu erschnuppern, dafür aber am wenigsten intensiv. Am Gaumen dann eine ebenso interessante Süße, die ich ebenfalls mit Honig verbinde, vielleicht spielt mir hier die Nase und die Erwartung aber auch einen Streich. Der Alkohol dürfte etwas besser eingebunden sein und ich haben einen leicht seifigen Geschmack. Hier einen Sieger zu wählen ist irre schwierig. Alle sind super; und super verschieden. Für mich geht der Antipodes mit Fotofinish als erster über die Ziellinie, dicht gefolgt vom Kirsch. Und nur wenig dahinter kommt der Germans."
