Chairman‘s Reserve Master’s Selection (Cigar Shops) 2010
Poured neat, this is a sipping rum through and through — a single John Dore pot still St. Lucia at 59% that reads warmer than its ABV suggests. Expect roasted wood, pineapple, tobacco smoke and a clear vein of sweetness, with leather and vanilla underneath. Several tasters call it a touch too sweet and note it lacks the depth of other Chairman's bottlings, but it drinks easy and long.
The community says- Roasted wood, tobacco
- Long smoky finish
- A bit too sweet

Sweet, smoky St. Lucia pot-still sipper Well-liked St. Lucia pot still with roasted wood, pineapple and smoke over noticeable sweetness. Enjoyable and easygoing, though a few find it a bit flat and sweeter than they'd like.

Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Compared to other Chairman's rather of the light variety. But very pleasant. Only slightly bitter and sweetish at the same time.
Review by Buddudharma
Nice chairman with pronounced sweetness, but lacks some complexity. Still a great sipper...
Review by rumquest
Nose: leather, smoke, pineapple, vanilla Palate: pineapple, oak, vanilla Finish is also smokey It is a bit on the sweet side.
Review by ordogh
Bit alcohol balanced, but still very enjoyable rum. Sweetness is the most powerful note, some details are missing.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
A little too sweet for me. Nevertheless ok.
Review by Johannes
Rather on the fruity side, but somewhat flat compared to other chairman's. A discreet smoky note on the finish.
Review by Alex Kunath
The sweetness and the slight bitter swing back and forth. I like!
Review by Jakob
Comparatively balanced and relaxed drinking overall profile that sets the typical stimulus points with tropical fruits, tea and spices, but remains very harmonious.
