Chairman‘s Reserve Master's Selection (The Nectar 15th anniversary) 2005 15yr 64,4%

"The claps so right in and pushes you well forward! 🤣 extremely intense and long lasting. horny number and unusually smoky almost after fresh street tar a la Caroni along with dark caramel and dark chocolate like Werthers best one smoked over the road, then some dates and sea salt, as well as dried apricots and leather. Very very tasty and balanced although I don't really like it that smoky. But the really fun!"

"Eine Nase, in der der Alkohol dominiert und man die Aromen von altem, lackiertem Holz und überreifen tropischen Früchten im Hintergrund suchen muss. Der Mund beginnt sanft, dann übernimmt ein warmer Alkohol, der mit altem Holz gesättigt ist, mit Früchten im Hintergrund. Der Abgang ist eher kurz, auch wenn ein etwas zu bitteres Karamellaroma sehr lange anhält. Nicht meine beste Erfahrung mit Rum aus St. Lucia. Ein Rum, bei dem der Alkohol für meinen Geschmack deutlich zu präsent ist. Leeres Glas wird deutlich besser."

"Nose goes first towards Jamaica Clarendon EMB was my first thought .... only briefly then he opens so slowly and it comes a nice sweetness and reminds me something of candied apple and lychee. On the palate again first thought Jamaica.... EMB boa very cool !!! Is this really a Chairmans? In the finish then you feel the genes ... Great stuff 👍"

"Wow, St. Lucia par excellence! This bottling is for me one of the best Chairman's, which I was allowed to try so far and I have so far thrilled some! On the nose, a spicy depth that reminds me of dark fruits and somewhat reminiscent of old Demeraras (even if these are a different house number) surrounds me. To this I find a caramel sweetness that almost slips into the dirty corner, reminding me of tar and shaking hands with herbal notes of tea. On the palate, the spicy, dirty overall impression is confirmed and I have to think directly of the Chairman's selected by GotA. A direct comparison will probably be mandatory in the near future. As already on the nose, the rum impresses with its depth and complexity, even if little to no fruit flavors are found here, but neat bitterness from the barrel. The finish also does not spoil the overall impression and lingers on for a long time, where I am again able to find new flavors of menthol and pineapple. This Chairman's is for me a real blast! Fortunately, I have bought here sales equal to several samples, so I can enjoy him a few more times!"

"The name says it all. Nectar, that's exactly what it is. Smoky, leather fruity. Strong thing.. WOW"

"Most delicious nose immediately after pouring in a direct comparison of all 6 Chairman's tasted ... the others then catch up, but he remains far ahead for me. Also great on the palate with a great balance of wood and fruit. My winner of the 6"

"The nose reminds me of one of those Don Papa rums which is a huge downside for me. I like the taste though, strong stuff 💪🏻"

"At the Community Tasting Nuremberg, the great crosstesting of the Chairman's bottlings was proclaimed as a motto. In advance, I have all tasted. To date, I knew only the bottling of Kirsch and Perola. I was surprised that the flavor profiles were so different and denoch no really bad, but also none was there that has really stood out from the others. But if you see what you get at Chairman's still for his money in return, I must really say CLASS. Will probably expand my collection in this area without a guilty conscience."

"Massive with nice residual sweetness and well-integrated bitter notes."
