Chairman‘s Reserve Master's Selection (Rum Stylez) 2001

wow. despite the high alcohol content and the 19y incredibly horny fruity and harmonious.cherry, tangerine, allspice, vanilla, pineapple and extremely much menthol both on the nose and in the taste in absolute harmony. in addition, some fig, cherry Hubba bubba and cocoa nibs discreetly with maple syrup and wood and black pepper. If he was a tick less "burnt bitter" and woody, I would prefer but still a grenade!🤤❤️🇱🇨🥂

WOW.. What a fruit grenade and a taste on which I do not come. Despite high alcohol content what a board.

20.08.2021 Sitting at home with some samples. Notes Dark in colour. Nose Intense, wood, tannins, spices, dried fruit, light glue, light herbs. Palate Intense and warm, light honey, herbs, spices, light medicinal, dried fruit, light mint, light varnish. Finish Long and warm, wood, dried fruit, light mint, faint tobacco, faint chocolate.

Again a decent board. Already powerful. Clearly wood, but not too much.

Very strong chairman!

Very nice, elegant profile with impressively integrated alcohol. Only the short, rather bitter finish prevents a higher rating...

Colour amber to mahogany Aroma dried fruits mainly apricot, rose flowers, grass, camphor, wood Taste Fruit, tannins, menthol, flowers, wood, leather, liquorice Finish long menthol, leather, wood, liquorice

Very exciting rum! While in the nose for me fruity and biting notes dominate, but on the palate the age was noticeable: dry, spicy flavors, wood underline what sounded rather light in the nose. If a bit bitey, the 65% ABV delivers a lot of flavor (at least more than the 56% of the Evanius Harris).

Extremely complex, the high alcohol content certainly contributes to this. Beautiful fruity notes with naturally present wood and spices. To be expected given the age. I like the somewhat younger Chairmans a little better, although most of the bottlings have a good basic quality.

A great rum at the usual Chairmans level and a super PLV! The cherry flavors dominate in combination with other toasted fruits and wood and menthol notes. A little too woody and a little sharp in the finish, which prevents a top rating. Second tasting -1 point.

I really like the aromas coming out of the glass. Some glue, smoky/charred notes, caramel, a subtle sweetness, spices, leather and dried fruit. Intensely spicy on the palate with some leather.

Eine Abfüllung die mit hohem Abv und im Vergleich hohen Alter daher kommt. Sehr facettenreich fruchtig-würzig in der Nase. Der Holzeinfluss ist spürbar aber durchaus angenehm. Am Gaumen haben wir weiterhin einiges an Frucht, der holzige Einschlag wandert hier jedoch deutlich wahrnehmbarer in die etwas bitterere Ecke. Sehr mentholig im Finish.

It's a blast! Rum too powerful, but with great potential if you tame the beast

At first the most interesting thing - in the taste there is a menthol..like fresh menthol from chewing gum… Nosing- I can smell eathy tones, citruses and mix of fruit with wood. The taste - I have found a lot of menthol - even more than in Trinidad…and otherwise then that licorice, pepper, tobacco and leather..(I thought it will be full of cherries, but it’s not, just little) I really like the end - the taste stays really long in your mouth.. Even if it has higher ABV and bites little bit, it’s worth trying.. but i wouldn’t recommend it to anyone new in the world of rum.

A little too long in the barrel for my liking.
