    Chairman‘s Reserve Master’s Selection (Van Wees 100th Anniversary) delivers a complex, wood-driven experience that our community finds both enticing and adventurous. Distilled in 2011 from molasses in Saint Lucia and aged 9 years, its nose blends oak, caramel, coffee, and spice—with some chemical and estery hints adding character. On the palate, flavors of coffee, oak, cognac, and armagnac unfold, creating an evolving sensory journey. RumX members appreciate its bold profile, noting a striking balance of sweetness and tannins, making it a must-try for those looking for a spirited adventure without breaking the bank.

    A pure experience, quite a bit going on the palate and nose.... Recommended despite the low price

    Pleasant tropical fruit notes on the nose, a little from the barrel. There is also something for the Pattex sniffer. Then comes the first sip, the bouquet is immediately accompanied by relatively strong, dark, woody and mocha-like notes. One of the better chairmen for me!

    In der Nase würzig mit einem Mix aus Lösungsmitteln und Holz. Im Mund dann deutlich Armagnac zu schmecken und wieder leichte Lösungsmittel mit Karamell und einem Hauch Kaffee. Im Abgang wieder holziger. Guter Mix für meinen Geschmack, kann sich sehen lassen.

    Lots going on in the nose. Definitely a more adventurous rum than the usual Chairman's. More funk and fierce chemical/estery odours. Taste: very woody. Lots of dry tannins. Like an older armagnac/cognac. Wood spices. Warm. Active cask: hell yes! A very interesting, wooddriven spicy St Lucia. An indie cask so less gentle than most Lucias. Its little more than 40euros so bang for your buck!!! Get it if you like the more pungent/aggresive St. Lucias. Edit: make pinewood an official tasting note!
