Chairman‘s Reserve Master’s Selection (Old Brothers) 2006
Cherry and fresh tobacco are what jump out first, wrapped in caramel, orange peel and a real smoky, burnt-wood edge that runs the whole way through. Several tasters call the fruit-and-roasted mix beautifully balanced with the 59% alcohol tucked in well. It leans dry and peppery, and one member found it a touch thin — but most think it's classic Saint Lucia done right.

A truly great rum.
Review by Buddudharma
Toll ausbalanciertes, klassisches JD l & V -Profil. Zum Podium fehlt der letzte Rest Originalität, aber dieses Profil ist einfach großartig und auf wunderbare Weise komplex und dabei doch harmonisch.
Review by Clément Boetto🤤🇫🇷
Beaucoup de fruit dont la cerise avec du tabac frais et du cuir le tout mélanger à des notes empyreumatique.
Review by Johannes
Extrem gut! Alles was ein Lucia braucht!
Review by Santo
Je le préfère à son Petit frère de 8 ans que je trouve plus fougueux, les quelques années de plus en fût de bourbon on arrondit un peu les angles, avec notamment une petite note de vanille au nez comme en bouche
Review by Nicolas Sicilia
Cerise et tabac au nez !! Alcool plutôt bien intégré ! On retrouve ce tabac et la cerise en bouche ! Petite fraîcheur agréable sur la finale !
Review by Rene Pfeiffer
Sehr trocken und irgendwie pfeffrig.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Au nez, c’est lourd, sombre mais parfumé. Très fruité sur la cerise, la pomme et l’orange, poivré mais principalement de grosses notes empyreumatiques (tabac – bois – cire). C’est complexe et riche à souhait avec des notes de chocolat. En bouche, l’alcool est moins bien intégré que la version de Berry Bros dégusté juste avant, le côté fruité est moins présent et on retrouve beaucoup plus le boisé. On a des notes toastées – grillées. Le tout est un peu trop sec à mon goût. La finale moyennement longue est complexe. Je trouve cette sélection moins gourmande que le Berry Bros.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
strangely enough, a bit thin and quickly gone. overall me too much vinegar and tea notes and too weak.
