    • Complex flavor profile
    • Rich port influence
    • Distinctive coconut aroma

    Chairman’s Reserve Master's Selection Perola is a unique offering from Saint Lucia Distillers, distilled from molasses and matured for 16 years in ex-bourbon, including three additional years in port casks. This limited-edition rum, at 60.1% ABV, appeals with a complex aroma of port, coconut, and raisin and a rich palate featuring coconut, chocolate, and spice. Though some find the port influence dominant, it remains a complex, compelling choice for enthusiasts of robust port-finished spirits.

    "16y tropical aging 100% Coffey Collumn Still Ex bourbon+ 3y Ex Port cask, 60,1%. Nase: dunkle Schokolade, geröstete Kokoschips, Kräuter, Portwein, Toffee, Karamellbonbon, Banane, etwas Klebstoff, etwas Pappkarton, Kirsche Geschmack: Brutal lecker, Mokka, Zartbitterschokolade, Kardamom, kokos, Traube, Muskat, dörrpflaume, Portwein überall präsent, Bratäpfel, Banane, Zimtrinde, cassis... schöne Tannine und langer Abgang. Erst trocken dann süßer werdend. Könnte blind für mich n Mix aus 94er new Yarmouth und 98er foursquare sein, dazu natürlich der Port Einfluss. Sehr geil, super komplex und für mich ein super schöner daily sipper."

    "You can clearly smell and taste the port influence. Personally, this 'finish' (if you can still speak of it at three years post-maturation) is too much. Blind I could no longer assign the basic substance. Overall, however, already a successful experiment, especially for Port fans!"

    "I would have blindly put more in the direction of Foursquare or New Yarmouth 1994. Saint Lucia DNA clearly in the background. For Port fans but an absolute recommendation."

    "The bottling no longer has much to do with a familiar St. Lucia. Nevertheless, a solid rum."
