Chairman‘s Reserve Master’s Selection (Distillers Direct & the Drinks Trust) 2005
Solid, characterful St. Lucia single cask with medicinal-fruity notes and decent balance, though several users find it a bit sharp and less complex than top 2005 JD1/V releases.
Fans of dry, cask strength St. Lucia rums who enjoy medicinal, woody and tea-spice notes and want to explore a different 2005 JD1/V cask without added sugar.

How does Chairman‘s Reserve Master’s Selection (Distillers Direct & the Drinks Trust) 2005 taste?
Serious St. Lucia with a medicinal twist
If you already like JD1/V Saint Lucia profiles, this is a drier, slightly leaner take that keeps the medicinal-woody character but turns up the alcohol bite.
Those sensitive to alcohol heat, newcomers to neat high-ABV rum, or drinkers expecting lush sweetness and big fruit like some other acclaimed Chairman’s 2005 releases.

Usually these releases are pretty good, but this one is a bit out of balance. The workshop is there and som are th fruits once rested. The curtains are beautiful and slow and the empty glass is nice and has nuts and iodine to it.
Once again a St. Lucia where I can't understand the bad reviews. JD1 &V is simply a great profile, period. Nevertheless, this is one of the weaker barrels, lacking a little depth and fruitiness. All in all, however, a very good rum at a killer issue price.
