Chairman‘s Reserve Master’s Selection (Kratochvilovci) 2007

People who chase single-cask St. Lucia character will find plenty here: tropical fruit and vanilla up top, then a strong medicinal, hospital-like streak with charred wood, tobacco and leather. One taster called it "good medicine to your soul." At 57.4% the alcohol sits surprisingly gentle, though a few felt the finish drops off before it should.

The community says
  • Good alcohol integration

The look inside the bottle

How does Chairman‘s Reserve Master’s Selection (Kratochvilovci) 2007 taste?

Aggregated from 34 community reviews.

Medicinal, woody St. Lucia single cask Most rate it a characterful, well-integrated St. Lucia pot-still bottling with real depth. The catch: the medicinal, minty side dominates for some, and one taster admired the making but disliked the flavor.

Perfect for

Fans of medicinal, pot-still St. Lucia rum at cask strength

Less suitable for

Anyone put off by strong menthol or hospital notes

Keine Ahnung, ob Sikula mir hier den richtigen abgefüllt hat. Keinenfalls ist er für mich als St. Lucia erkennbar, sondern eher als Trinidad. Minze überragt hier leider alles. Mir gefällt dieser Rum ")

8,7:On the nose, tropical fruits like passion fruit and banana, guava, coconut, citrus and yellow fruits, charred, smoky wood notes with butterscotch, glue and baking spices, vanilla and anise, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, raisins, dried apricots and mango come out, sweet pastry and gingerbread, dairy notes and tannins. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is slightly funky and dirty, the wood is burnt/charred, smoky with leather, roasted nuts and caramel, spicy, quickly tannic, pairing various fruits like dried apricots, passion fruit and citrus, later prunes and banana, earthy molasses with tobacco, cigar smoke, flowery and herbaceous, when well oxidized, fresh with tea, sweet with pastry, slightly metallic, medicinal. 8,4:The finish is rather long, dry&tannic, the wood is still charred, spicy, the molasses is sweet with honey, earthy with tobacco, cigar smoke and the fruits are dried, citrus and yellow...

John Dore 1 & Vendome ist für meinen Geschmack eine Kombination, die immer exzellent funktioniert. So auch hier. Typisches St. Lucia - Profil, mit einer leicht parfümierten Note, interessant. Alkoholintegration ist sehr gut, letztlich fehlen nur ein wenig Tiefe und Pointiertheit, um zu den besten Fässern aufzuschließen. In jedem Fall aber ein toller Rum mit hervorragendem PLV, hiervon hätte ich gerne eine Flasche.

8.6/10

Love these private bottlings. Aroma is quite gantle, sweet (vanilla) with hint of tropical fruits and some medicinal tones. I found some praline like scent and wood/smoke-ish scents. Taste is again very gentle what is interesting to me when I consider the voltage of 57,4%. I noticed lot of medicinal flavor, combination of wood, tabacco, fruit and spice. Finish is not lomg enough in my opinion and most dominant flavor for me was honey. I am not a huge fan of Chairman’s Reserve but this bottling is very nice. It is like good mesicine to your soul. Try it if you have a chance
