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

    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!

    Dieser Chairmans hat eine sehr fruchtige und attraktive Nase. Neben Pfirsich und Blumen finde ich auch einen guten Fasseinfluss. Außerdem kommt mir die Nase etwas ölig vor und hat einen Hauch von Estern. Am Gaumen ist wieder der starke Holzeinfluss, welcher etwas an Cognac oder Armagnac erinnert. Karamell, Aprikose, etwas Kaffee, Pfeffer und Tannine erweitern die mäßige Komplexität auf der Zunge. Der mittellange Abgang lebt von Holz, etwas Kakao, Tanninen, Gewürzen und manchen Fassnoten, die man vom Armagnac kennt. Vielleicht noch in eine mineralische Richtung gehend. Dieser Chairmans errinert mich lustigerweise stark an den 1776 Rye whisky barrel proof. Danke an @bananajoe für das Sample.

    Toller Chairman's. Für den Preis sollte man den unbedingt mitnehmen. Erinnert etwas ab einen Armagnac. Trotz der nur 46% ist einiges los an Nase und Gaumen.
