    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this 20-year Skeldon’s roasted, nutty depth and balance. Expect roasted coffee and dark chocolate on the nose, then dried fruit, raisin and molasses over firm oak and leather. Several mention a creamy mouthfeel and a long, dry, spicy finish. Popular with 50 reviewers, it shines neat, especially after a short rest, making this cask-strength Demerara a confident pick.

    Skeldon fait rêver les amateurs. Qu’en est-il de la version “The Nectar” de l’embouteilleur S.B.S. ? Très beau nez, on se croirait dans un club privé anglais avec fauteuils en vieux cuir et un soupçon de fumé. Un nez très profond avec un soupçon de Kirsch. La bouche est très ample et souple. On retrouve le vieux cuir et un peu d’amandes amères. La finale est super longue, presque infinie. Le verre vide a une complexité de parfum, avec des notes de base (bois, cuir, sucre) et des notes de tête avec des fruits secs, de la vanille et des fruits très mûrs. Regoûté et un net cran en dessous du El Dorado tout en restant un rhum splendide.

    Alcohol is not optimally integrated. Nevertheless, good Skeldon.

    Now this is a demerara Rum, wow.If you rest this one for 15 minutes you're going to be in roasted nutty heaven. The roasted oak is heavy from nose to finish without being too dominant. Wonderfully balanced in its complexity.Spice, licorice and chocolate envelopes this to create a perfect harmony on your palate.Great rum unfortunately also not on my shelves.

    Unfortunately, alcohol clearly too superficial. Pity.Update 2021-11-23: Much better impression! Daily form rules. 😊
