    der fruchtigste von allen bis jetzt! gefällt mir extrem gut! volle Breitseite tropischer Fruchtsalat, kaum Holz, extrem Süffig und mild und ausgewogen. geil!

    Der Chairman‘s kommt schön fruchtig-würzig daher. In der Nase finde ich neben dunklen Früchten wie Brombeere und Kirsche die süße Würze von Tabak-und Teeblättern. Ein bisschen Vanille und Anis ist sich dabei. Auch etwas metallisches ist zu finden. Er erinnert mich an einen Brandy. Vollmundig geht es am Gaumen weiter. Die Kirsche aus der Nase geht jetzt mehr in Richtung Sauerkirsche. Salzig bitter wird er sodann, das bittere ehr von Orangen/Mandarinenschale. Ja Mandarine. Da ist aber auch wieder etwas künstliches; Plastik und Metall. Würzig ist er auch aber ehr Richtung frischen Leder und Holz. Im Abgang das Würzig-süßlich-bitter von Schwarztee, Kamille und ein Hauch Mandarine. Geht steil.

    Sehr schöner, entspannter Vertreter der Chairman-Reihe. Alle Bestandteile sind in schöner Balance vorhanden, durch die gute Alkoholintegration und den etwas geringeren ABV ergibt sich beinahe ein Easy Sipper, der jedoch trotzdem in Sachen Komplexität den allermeisten anderen Destillerien überlegen ist. Mir nach wie vor ein Rätsel, warum St. Lucia nicht in einem Atemzug mit Hampden & Co. genannt wird.
