Aroma visualization from community tastings
Chairman‘s Reserve Master‘s Selection (5. Rum & Co) 2006
Wood, roasted notes and dark dried fruit lead here, with chocolate, prunes and a faint acetone edge underneath. This is a 16-year Coffey-column St. Lucia at cask strength, and the port finish divides people: some love the raisiny "spanische Leder" dryness, others find the tannins and nutty muffiness too dominant and the alcohol not fully tucked in. A rich, drying sipper with real complexity.
The community says- Roasted, chocolatey depth
- Long warm finish
- Port finish dominant

How does Chairman‘s Reserve Master‘s Selection (5. Rum & Co) 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 27 community reviews.
Rich, drying port-finished St. Lucia sipper Well-liked rich sipper — roasted wood, prunes, chocolate. Several find the port finish too dominant and drying, and the high ABV a touch hot. Better neat, slowly.

Review by Carlitooo
The port finish is already very cool!
Review by Tim
Dieser Rum hat dieselben Rahmendaten wie der Saint Lucia von Perola. Die Nase ist im Vergleich aber intensiver und runder, und für mich bombastisch. Leider ist das Mundgefühl nicht so ausgewogen: extrem bitter und trocken, da zieht sich alles zusammen. Etwas schade, denn der Rum hat wieder einen schönen Abgang mit Karamell, Vanille und Frucht.
Review by zabo
Heute nochmal gegen die andere Abfüllung von Rum&Co RX15629 verglichen. Im Gegensatz dazu ist dieser etwas "leichter" und süffiger. Wiederum eine schöne Chairman’s Abfüllung die zu gefallen weiß. Mir gefällt er sehr gut. Auch der Preis ist mehr als angemessen für diesen Rum.
Review by Agricoler
Echt leckeres Port Finish aber Alkohol nicht ganz perfekt integriert.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Im direkten Vergleich mit dem 16y Coffey still von Perola sind die Tannine vom Portwein Finish hier deutlich ausgeprägter und insgesamt für meinen Geschmack etwas zu dominant. Könnte etwas ausgewogener sein... Dennoch ein schönes Beispiel für das st. Lucia's Coffey still wirklich spannende Ergebnisse liefern kann und sich nicht hinter Vendome und John Dore verstecken muss!
