Chairman‘s Reserve Master‘s Selection (LMDW Collection New Vibrations) 2006
Give it 20 minutes in the glass and it shifts from tight to expressive: tobacco, leather and roasted notes up front, then tropical fruit, caramel and a menthol edge. This 15-year Saint Lucia pot-still from the Vendôme still runs dark and a touch dirty. Several tasters loved it; a few found the alcohol integration off and the leather-tobacco a bit much.
The community says- Leather and tobacco
- Tropical fruit depth
- Alcohol integration debated

Dark, leathery Saint Lucia pot-still sipper Most tasters rate it a fine, mature Chairman's with leather, wood and fruit. The recurring catch: alcohol integration divides people, and a few find it too woody or past its peak.

Review by Double Barrel
Tasted at Whisky Live, great selection, another delicious Saint Lucia, bursting with fruit and very well balanced. The woodiness is indeed noble and stays in its place, bearing in mind that once the bottle is opened it will tend to diminish further, so this rum can only improve over time. Distilled in Vendôme
Review by ilRummista
A very good Saint Lucia. Great nose that bodes very well. On tasting, especially in the first few sips you can taste a little too much alcohol which, in my opinion, has not been integrated very well. Otherwise, it is a really good product. I definitely recommend tasting it!
Review by Righrum
A nice expression, tasted in a Chairman's reserve lineup, it stood amongst the best. Nice leather-ey and woody profile, really dark but absolutely pleasant. With a bit of rest it opens up and especially at the nose has an interesting vanilla sugar note.
Review by Rodolphe
Tasted on Live. A fine selection on the gourmet side, typical of Vendôme chez Chairman. Very tasty.
Review by kondgab
Leather, wood and fruits.
Review by Jakob
Great complexity, a bit edgier than the sister release from 2010, but the Chairmans remain almost through the bank absolutely convincing releases - so also here.

Review by Johannes
In contrast to other Chairmans, it falls somewhat short. Very bitter, astringent, menthol, not very fruity, somewhat smoky with hints of whisky. For me, this rum has passed its zenith in the cask.
