Highly praised as a benchmark Chairman’s: complex, wood‑driven and spicy with tropical fruit, tea, coffee and menthol, powerful yet remarkably well‑balanced and endlessly engaging.
Seasoned sippers who enjoy dry, woody, spicy rums with dark fruits, coffee, licorice and menthol notes, and who like exploring high‑ABV Saint Lucia or Clarendon‑style profiles.

Einer der bestriechendsten Rums die ich probieren durfte. Super intensiv in der Nase, die tropische Reifung ist hier nicht zu verkennen. Im Mund sehr würzig holzig, für mich gerade noch auf der angenehmen Seite. Komplementiert wird das ganze aber auch von Schwarztee und fruchtigem Espresso. Die Mentholnote im Abgang ist der Hammer.
I have not yet warmed to the Chairman's Saint Lucia. Were somehow too dominant alcoholic for me. But this one is different, simply stunning, so round and deep! Alcohol perfectly integrated. And yes, very similar to a tropically matured Clarendon (e.g. the RA EMB 1995). Congratulations on the fine touch, GotA
Incredibly awesome Chairmans. Extremely intense after lychee, mango, salted caramel and not too much wood and nice spice. Alcohol perfectly integrated, extremely sweet yet complex and the finish of canned lychees.
Sehr smooth und rund und trotzdem viele Aromen. Ähnlicher Character wie die anderen verkosteten Chairman‘s RA und German Edition, aber zumindest im Direktvergleich zum German viel runder und süßer. Der Alkohol ist hier top intergriert, während man ihn beim German schon deutlich merkt. Hier macht sich vielleicht der Unterschied zwischen 100% Vendome Pot Still (German Edition) und 50 % John Dore 1 und 50 % Vendome Pot Still (GotA) bemerkbar. Insgesamt ein klasse Rum. Nun noch im Vergleich mit dem RomDeLuxe 2000 probiert. Der RdL ist leicht besser, weil nochmal intensiver, aber deutlich teurer. Der hiesige GotA ist für mich der Preis-Leistungs-Sieger aller von mir verkosteten Saint Lucia. Daher nun nochmal n Punkt mehr (91).
