Distilled from molasses in 2009, this 46% ABV rum offers an intriguing profile, featuring notes of glue, tropical fruit, oak, toffee, and vanilla on the nose, with dried fruit, caramel, and leather on the palate. Despite some criticism for being slightly thin and alcoholic, users praise its tropical fruit flavors and good balance. This rare release of only 266 bottles appeals to collectors and rum enthusiasts alike. With its unique character and spices, it's a compelling sipper within the Chairman's collection. Its excellent price-performance ratio makes it a valuable addition to any collection.

Wow, this one surprised me personally! Nice sticky note that goes in the direction of tropical aged Diamond. Despite the 46%, it didn't seem very diluted! If it had been aged even longer and had more percentages...

Un rhum de Sainte Lucie dans la douceur et l’exotisme. On découvre des notes de fruits secs et tropicaux (banane, coco) et des arômes plus funky qui mènent le pas (colle, vernis, solvants). Par la suite viennent le chêne, des épices (piment, vanille, poivre) et du caramel mêlé avec du sucre brun et du toffee. C’est une sorte de mix entre la Barbade et la Jamaïque, ce qui n’est pas désagréable car le profil est varié et opulent. En bouche, la douceur règne sur ce profil rempli de noix de coco, de banane et d’épices en tout genre : cannelle, réglisse, piment, poivre et vanille forment une belle harmonie avec le cuir et le caramel. Il y a de légères notes herbacées sur le thé noir qui donnent un peu de complexité. L’alcool est bien intégré pour le faible degré. La finale n’est pas très longue, légère et plus sèche. On retrouve le raisin sec, le cuir, le côté herbacé et le chêne qui s’associent aux épices pour un profil plus sombre. Quelques notes de caramel viennent s’ajouter pour rappeler le profil anglais. Un rhum simple, facile mais un brin complexe, qui offre une belle alternative aux profils anglais traditionnels.
