Chairman‘s Reserve Master‘s Selection (Bitters & Bottles) 2006 13yr 56%

"I already knew the Evanius Harris, a sister cask from also 100% Vendome Still. I struggled with this one for a long time. And from my memory, similar receptors jump out at me: Lots of wood and herbal spiciness, some citrus, and then something like dried mango and other tropical fruits. As with the Evanius, I find the alcohol to be poorly integrated and together with a present acidity to be unpleasantly sharp. The combination of herbaceousness, smoky wood and fruit make for a very interesting profile. The fruit is unfortunately lost too much in the mouth.Unlike the dirty TDLs, the herbs lack the fresh menthol kick. This leaves the rum a bit unbalanced woody.Still not a bad St. Lucia rum. On day 2, I like it a little better."

"Deiser Chairman's hat ein spannendes Profil. Nase erstaunlich frisch mit etwas Eukalyptus. Am Guamen dann überraschend unausgewogen und der Alkohol schlecht eingebunden. Der Abgang ist dann ziemlich am brennen. Wenn der Alkohol besser integriert wäre, würde der Rum richtig gut sein. So aber lieber dosierte kleine Schlückchen."
