Haromex Secret Treasures The Selection Privée Vendome

Pineapple, mango and green banana on the nose, then it turns herbal and woody on the palate — black tea, spice, a whiff of medicine and a light smoke. Most tasters call it remarkably deep and complex for just 6 years, a proper Vendome pot-still St. Lucia. The main gripe: the finish drops off and a couple wished for more punch.

The community says
  • Complex for 6 years
  • Tropical fruit nose

Fruity, herbal, slightly sweet. Very accessible and balanced Saint Lucia. Great!

Impressive St. Lucia - fruit, freshness, some wood and spice...not only in view of the release price at the time an absolutely outstanding release. From today's perspective, hardly imaginable to get this quality at such prices. Excellent.

Edit: im direkten Vergleich hatte hier der RX528 die Nase vorne. Reiht sich im Mittelfeld meiner probierten Chairman’s ein. Franconian Tasting Gang Im Vergleich zu den anderen Chairman’s reiht sich dieser im Mittelfeld ein.

Sehr fruchtig frische Nase Orangenblüten , Annas und grüne Banane etwas Vanille und Sauerkirsche. Im Mund fällt er schon deutlich ab weniger Fruchtig mehr Würze und Bitterstoffe und Florale Noten.

I have been looking for the three Haromex bottlings for a long time, I like St Lucia and the reviews make me very curious. I have now tasted them and have to conclude: delicious, but there are now much better bottlings on the market in the Chairman's Reserve Masters Selection range. This one is very much on the herbal side, with herbs, black tea etc. Interesting, but not quite my cup of tea.

an der Nase zuerst junges Holz, rauchig & würzig, dann immer fruchtiger nach Ananas, Papaya, dann geht's immer mehr in eine floral pflanzliche Richtung wie Sesam, Thymian (zataar Gewürzmischung)... spannend! Geschmacklich dann eher leicht süßlich fruchtig, in Honig gedippte mango, Ananas, dazu wieder gerösteter Sesam und Thymian (zataar) und Mandarinenschale, im Abgang dann etwas Holziger, würziger Holziger werdend richtung Schwarztee mit Pfirsich, Mango, Kräutern und Piment und Papaya. sehr schönes Beispiel vendome Style! 🇱🇨🤤 Könnte man blind auch als wird 2000 Barbados einstufen! Beeindruckende Komplexität für grade Mal 6y Alter!!

Eine sehr komplexe Abfüllung von Saint Lucia welche sowohl diverse Tropische Früchte, pflanzliche Aromen, Gewürze und Holz erstklassig kombiniert. Im Gaumen und später Abgang nimmt die Bitterkeit etwas zu, ist aber noch im Rahmen

Saint Lucia Distillers

Distillery

Saint Lucia Distillers 

Avg Rating 8.2/10 over 230 Rums

St. Lucia Distillers is the island's only distillery and one of the most versatile in the Caribbean. Four stills give it eight different distillates, molasses and cane juice, pot and column, which its blenders turn into everything from the humble Bounty to the cult Chairman's Reserve and the super-premium Admiral Rodney. It rebuilt itself after an arson fire and is now owned by the same group as Martinique's J.M and Clement.
