Chairman's Reserve 2011 Master's Selection 9yo 59.5% 700ml is a single cask rum curated for The UK Rum Club by Arthur Motley from Royal Mile Whiskies. Distilled in the renowned Vendome pot still at the Saint Lucia Distillers in 2011, this rum has been fully tropically matured for 9 years in an ex-Bourbon barrel. Bottled at an impressive 59.5% ABV with no additives, this limited release of only 248 bottles offers a complex and layered tasting experience. On the nose, it reveals an intoxicating array of aromas including freshly baked banana bread, green pears, and balsamic vinegar, followed by hints of plums, lemon zest, dust, tobacco, red apples, and a trace of gasoline. The palate is equally rich, presenting flavors of stone fruits, root beer, wasabi, pear eau de vie, prunes, blackberries, raw cocoa nibs, and ripe bananas. The finish is long and lingering, marked by notes of wasabi, tobacco, peppermint, and oak spices. Overall, Chairman's Reserve 2011 Master's Selection 9yo is an outstanding representation of Saint Lucian rum, notable for its depth of flavor and complexity. At a price of £90, it provides excellent value and stands out as one of the best rums of the year. This vibrant and powerful rum, with its blend of classic tropical fruit notes, herbal qualities, and clear barrel influence, is truly a masterpiece. Rum aficionados are encouraged to give it a try and also look forward to future releases from this series.
