Chairman‘s Reserve Master‘s Selection (RA & Rum Tasting Notes)

 still a very, very cool blend of John Dore & vendome to perfection!🇱🇨❤️🤤 something between peach iced tea, papaya mint salad & rose water mango lassi papaya with a good portion of wood and shoe polish in the finish... totally wacky, totally exciting, I want more of it 😍🤤

 For me, still among the top 3 of all the Chairman's I have tasted. Great nose, reminiscent of an exotic fruit salad. Spicy, herbs, tea, light mint and a non-distracting chemical note. This potpourri continues on the palate, ending slowly in a long finish with a slight umami.

 Wow!! 😍 This one is great, complex and I really like the style.

 Good St. Lucia profile and quite atypical.

 Without any bias towards the lovely team who picked this one: this is a damn good Chairman’s indeed. Colin back to this, after some time the bottling never disappoints. Due to its relatively young age at bottling, it is more punchy and vibrant then some older contenders of the session. Wood has not taken over so much, leaving more room for an intense basket of tropical fruits (papayas) and some spices/dirt on the nose as well as on the palate. Excellent stuff.

 Fruit (yellow fruit and citrus) dominates on the first nose, with a sort of varnish and fairly dry cedar wood and a slight vegetal note. The palate is rather soft, then alcohol and aromas become more powerful, with cedar wood in the aftertaste, reminiscent of a sauna. A powerful, alcoholic, woody (cedar) finish that calls for a fine cigar!

 Wahnsinn! Eine Abfüllung, die mich von Tag 1 gefesselt hat, als noch vor Verkaufsstart plötzlich ein Sample in meinem Briefkasten lag. Fruchtig, herb, holzig, charakterstark - eine tolle Mischung aus Vendome & John Dore. Ein bisschen wie fassgelagerter Pfirisch-Eistee!

 Another rum where you get a lot for your money. Lightly fruity with wood, some smoky wood and medicinal notes. There is a very faint mint note at the end of the palate.

 Rum or fifty shades of mint. Am now a mint fan and just follows me in every second rum. Here again in a new facet. Fruity Jamaican mint with a touch of rosemary.In the mouth, the fruits are riper, dried, but the mint is fresh. The spiciness of ginger and pepper brings a pleasant warmth, but is never biting, as with the Evanius Harris.In the finish comes after the mint again some sweet mango around the corner.Super rum!

 I didn't like it that much the first few times. Took the sample out again today and find it very tasty. The strong mint component reminds me of a TDL. Smoky, intensely minty, chocolate and leather, dried fruit, medicinal notes. Generally well balanced due to the sweetness. Delicious rum.

 Schöne Bourbon Geruch, zudem Tabak und Leder. Ausgezeichneter Chairmans

 In der Nase ein krass floraler Geruch: Tee und Kräuter. Beim zweiten riechen dann Minze. Um Mund dann anfänglich süß bis die Intensität einsetzt und die Rauchigkeit übernimmt. Krasses Teil, nichts von dem was man riecht schmeckt man später. Der Abgang ist lang und komplex.

 Special and complex rum. Almost resembles a Jamaican, but floral and smoky notes are very dominant, which are not my favorite flavors. In the mouth and on the finish, there are many dark, but also herbal notes, with the smoke and berries lingering for a very long time. Complex rum, but not 100% on my wavelength.

 Die Nase bewegt sich im fruchtig-floralen Understatement, nur um dann am Gaumen zuzuschlagen: Hier machen sich tropische Früchte, Holz und Leder sowie eine Mischung aus gebranntem Zucker und Minze breit, gefolgt von einer schönen Schärfe. Toller, kräftiger Tropfen.
