     Edit Edit: Irgendwie finde ich ihn umso besser je öfter ich ihn probiere. Abgefahrenes Teil, das Chairman’s untypisch ist, doch äußerst interessant, aber doch zu nahe an einem whisky Edit: Für mich ein Chairman’s außerhalb der Range die ich sonst so kannte aber auch nicht wirklich schlecht nur anders. Muß man sich wohl erst dran gewöhnen. Hatte auch irgendwie eine Minznote geschmeckt nachdem er länger geatmet hat. Voll verwirrend. Halte mich mit der Bewertung zurück, bis die Samples raus sind. Mein Tipp, gebt eurem Dram erstmal gut Zeit. Werde demnächst meine Notizen dann nachtragen.

     Well, this bottling doesn't really have anything to do with a Chairman's anymore. It reminds me more of a Scottish peaty whisky... with a little burnt caramel and roasted nuts. It obviously seems to be an experiment and has gone wrong for me. The whisky influence is too strong, especially in the finish.

     Hätte hier niemals auf einen Chairman's getippt. Die Intensität am Gaumen gefällt mir sehr. Dieser Rum kommt mit ordentlich angenehmer warmer dreckiger Power am Gaumen, irgendwie erdig, adstringierend, maritim und rostig. Der Abgang läuft sehr metallisch-citrusfruchtig aus. Der Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Total interessanter Chairman's. Über Geschäcker lässt sich streiten, dieser Rum hier hat viel Streitpotential. Ich finde ihn gelungen und ohne den Abgang hätte es hier auch mehr Punkte gegeben.

     In my opinion, a rather atypical Lucia. I miss the tropical ester fruit notes. Instead, there are far too many slightly peaty whisky notes for my taste. It seems a little young overall. Alcohol could be a little better integrated. After an hour in the glass, the rum opens up, but overall it's still not quite my cup of tea.
