The Chairman's Reserve 2005 Saint Lucia Master's Selection Grape of the Art & RumX 15yo is an exceptional rum, crafted by the renowned Saint Lucia Distillers. Distilled in 2005 and aged for 15 years, this limited release (only 232 bottles) is a testament to the artistry and precision of Caribbean rum-making. Bottled at a robust 61.5% ABV, this rum is distilled using both John Dore and Vendôme Pot Stills. The long tropical aging in ex-Bourbon barrels has imparted a deep complexity to the rum, balancing rich, sweet, and spicy notes with a mature elegance.
From the moment you pour this 700ml bottle, you'll be captivated by its alluring deep amber color. The aroma is a harmonious blend of intense spices, dried fruits, vanilla, caramel, tropical fruits, and subtle woody and earthy undertones. On the palate, it unveils a symphony of flavors—woody notes, licorice, coffee, and burnt sugar, complemented by black tea, black pepper, roasted flavors, and a hint of herbal menthol. The finish is long and complex, leaving a lingering impression of dried mango, tropical fruits, and a touch of caramelized sweetness.
This rum is a signature expression of the unique style of Saint Lucia, combining the balance of tropical fruit and herbal notes reminiscent of a tropically matured Clarendon with the richness of dark chocolate and coffee. The collaboration between Grape of the Art and RumX has resulted in a rum that is both a collector's item and a connoisseur's delight. With its rich tapestry of flavors, aromatic depth, and excellent integration of alcohol, this Chairman's Reserve offering promises an unforgettable tasting experience.
This rum is unique due to its combination of 100% Pot Still distillation, long tropical aging for 15 years, and the collaborative bottling by Grape of the Art and RumX. Its complex flavor profile and limited release make it a collector's item.
Only 232 bottles of this exclusive rum were produced, making it a rare find for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
The rum was aged in ex-Bourbon barrels, which have contributed to its deep, rich complexity and nuanced flavors.
As a rum enthusiast, I find the Chairman's Reserve 2005 Saint Lucia Master's Selection Grape of the Art & RumX 15yo to be an outstanding rum. Its complex and balanced profile is a delight for the senses, from the intense and captivating aroma to the rich and layered palate, and finally, the long, flavorful finish. This limited release is a must-have for any serious rum collector or connoisseur. Highly recommended.
