„In line with a lot of other older continental Guyanese bottlings this SWR need a tremendous time to breath in order to open up. This will help to reduce the bitterness on the finish and enhance the rum‘s complexity. For me it is on the edge of feeling to thin overall, however still very tasty and complex given enough time. Side-by-side the SBS bottling is clearly ahead of The Nectar. Side-by-side with some 2001 SWRs, the 1997 come out much more elegant and a little more moderated. Wood influence is more accentuated, on the edge of being overwhelming.“

„Heavy sweetness with dark fruits, wood and spice rise to the nose. Alcohol hardly plays a role here. On the palate also first a great sweetness, some bitterness and lots of fruit (grapes, black currant) reminds me very much of an older Armagnac. I like it well.“

„Nose is absolutely fantastic ! Mouth is unfortunately a bit too woody but it is still a very good rum. It could have been an amazing one if bottled 4 years ago.“

„"Skeldon" on the label naturally raises expectations. A certain similarity in the DNA may be present, the rum itself is also quite pleasing - sweetness, wood, coffee, spices - but to the complexity of the other Skeldons this bottling is far from reaching. Regardless of the great name, a solid rum remains with high sweetness, but also not free of somewhat harsh notes.“

„Wood notes as in a very old Armagnac with quite bitter but pleasant notes in the finish. In the mouth, besides maple syrup, the fruitiness of plum and apricot. The bitterness in the finish gives way to the smokiness of the nose after longer breathing. Very good rum that just misses the level of 2001 SWR from SBS.“

„Ausgewogen-komplex und sehr lecker in der Nase, trotz der nur knapp 48%: würzig-fruchtig-holzig. Eskommt gleich eine angenehme Sahnetoffee-süße mit tropischen Früchten und weicher Kokosmilch. Dahinter aber auch Frische mit ätherischen Ölen. Er ist angenehm holzig, getoastetes Holz mit einer feinen Vanille-Note. Auch vollmundig am Gaumen: dunkel-holzig-röstig und bitter-salzig. Fast ein bisschen verkohlt mit viel Mokka. Eine harzige Frische kommt hinzu mit einem Anteil Lakritz. Dahinter ist etwas Süße von Toffee. Im Abgang bleibt er holzig bitter mit ordentlich Mokka und etwas dunkler Schokolade. Hat auch was von geschnittenem Geäst. Insgesamt doch sehr holzig bitter, aber auch sehr intensiv und schön. Ich mag die alten Demerara. Insbesondere Skeldon.“

„A very smooth and pleasant Skeldon bottling. The nose offers typical Guyana aromas, with sweet, caffeinated, spicy, woody, chocolatey, vanilla and slightly smoky notes that blend very well. The same aromas are found on the palate, with the same smoothness, for a rum that is round, unctuous and tasty. The finish is quite long, with the same structure but with a hint of menthol. A very gourmet rum, which could be drunk like milk given its relatively low voltage.“

„Ein sehr klasse Skeldon, der, obwohl nur mit 48% Alc., sehr intensiv ist! Eine herrliche Nase, mit einer gewissen Eleganz. Dieses setzt sich auch am Gaumen fort! Der Holzeinschlag wird zum Ende hin grenzwertig, was ihm letzten Endes auch die Spitzenwertung kostet“

„Sometimes you get a surprise and this one was a surprise because I haven't seen it in Danish stores or online shops.A very nice Skeldon.The nose is heavy with fruit and oak followed by burnt sugar and light tobacco. The nose came as soon as the Cork was popped.The palate is also heavy, complex and yet well balanced. Again lots of fruit and oak. The burnt sugar is also there with som light licorice. There is a nice spicy tinge to it and at the end of the palate the tannins kick in.The finish is long and lightly dry with dried fruit, oak and licorice.Wonderful rum and price to quality is very good.“

„vielleicht noch ein wenig über dem 97er Nectar Skeldon (RX 12486), aber die 2001er sind schon noch einmal etwas komplexer und intensiver. Vermutlich liegt as auch an dem relativ niedrigen ABV des Milhade. Nichtsdestotrotz gefällt er mir durchaus, auf jeden Fall ein süffiges und leckeres Teil 😋“

„Das war mein erster Rum nach dem Skeldon Style und ich muss sagen das ich sehr begeistert von ihm bin. Er ist komplex, vollmundig und extrem weich, trotz 53,2%. Eine hochinteresssante Trinkerfahrung“

„A slightly light Skeldon with a lovely nose combining vanilla, oak, caramel, prune and coffee. I would have liked it to be a little more complex in the mouth but all the classic flavours are present.“
