Aroma visualization from community tastings
Chairman‘s Reserve Master‘s Selection (The Whisky Exchange) 2006
People who chase dry, woody Saint Lucia pot-still rum will feel right at home here. Expect black tea, oak, spice and a smoky, medicinal edge rather than sweetness or big fruit. At 56.3% the alcohol reads well-integrated to most tasters, though a couple wanted more freshness and fruit. One reviewer called it a "Fruity Brother of Charles Hofer" — but most read it as tea-and-wood forward.
The community says- Long dry finish
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Low on fruit

Dry, woody Saint Lucia sipper with black tea Most tasters rate this a strong, well-balanced Chairman's with a long dry finish and tidy heat. A few found the tannins and medicinal side too much and missed the fruit.

27.11.2025 Relaxing with an older sample while watching Hellboy. ------------- A pretty well balanced rum with a nice warm punch. Nice wood and ABV integration and rather light on the fruit. Super long and nice finish an absolute must try 😊

for me a bit too much tannins, too medicinal, and barrel influence and overall alcohol relatively strong and not perfectly integrated. Fruit is missing in the taste.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
A very good chairman. Strong long finish.
Review by Thunderbird
The last Chairman's in my tasting round. The nose is barely perceptible to me : caramel and vanilla and a touch of delicate yellowish fruit. On the palate it spreads creamy soft with some caramel, vegetal flavors, tannin and some wood, being relatively mild. The finish is dominated by licorice, wood and some tannin, but the whole is very balanced. A good Chairman's, but does not belong to the top.
Review by zabo
Am Scheuenfest spontan von Tobi aufgerissen worden. Aus dem lückenhaften Gedächtnis heraus, fand ich diesen wirklich gut. Soweit ich weiß war auch der Alkohol ziemlich gut eingebunden. Werde ihn aber wohl nochmal in Ruhe verkosten müssen.
Review by Alex Kunath
Ganz einfach... ein starker Chairman! Vendome, in welchen Variationen auch immer, scheint nie zu enttäuschen!
Review by Jakob
Beautiful complexity with wood, spices, citric aromas, wood, tea, roasted notes as well as caramel and vanilla. However, it could have a little more freshness for my taste.
Review by Michael Schillheim
In der Nase holzige Aromen. Wenig Frucht, leicht erdig, blumig. Am Gaumen leicht blumig, kalter schwarzer Tee, würzig-rauchig und Holz. Langer trockener und würziger Nachklang. Tolle Abfüllung dieser Destillerie.
Review by Gregor
Man hält der lange an. Der Alkohol ist super eingebunden. Generell ist das ein klasse Produkt. Er brennt und kratzt nicht und schmeckt super intesiv. Auch hier habe ich wieder meine geliebten schwarzteetöne die ich so mag. Sollte man auf jeden Fall mal probiert haben.
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Ein sehr guter und runder Chairman‘s.
Review by Vincent D
Nez boisé. J'y décèle de l'agrume et des effluves légères de chocolat. Le rhum prend directement possession de tout le palais. C'est chaud et piquant. Toujours boisé. Très sec. Un peu plus de gourmandise en fin de bouche. Malheureusement, pas trop mon truc. Un peu l'impression de goûter un vieux Bellevue de Guadeloupe qui n'est pas du tout mon kiff.
Review by Buddudharma
In St.Lucia ist man offensichtlich unfähig, schlechten Rum zu brennen. Tolles, sehr komplexes JDI & V -Profil, das die Vorzüge der beiden Stills wunderbar kombiniert.
