“Simply excellent. Brings the Demerara-typical, unique in this form oak vanilla note in perfection in glass. In addition, chocolate melt, hints of latte, fine spices, caramel, a touch of dried fruit and allspice ... I am impressed time and again by the aromatic force that this bottling conjures up in the glass. That a completely tropically stored Guyana in the Skeldon Marque with such a high-class profile remains available for so long at the issue price is in view of the current demand m.E. not rationally explainable - but shall be fine with me. An absolute price-performance tip, even at prices well beyond the 200€.”

“The brother of the Skeldon 2001 S.B.S. "The Nectar", but with many nuances. A very similar nose, with brown sugar and vanilla. More sweetness. Sweetness and vivacity, super interesting. Beautifully dark, lively, deep and elegant on the palate. Long, rich finish. The empty glass reveals more fruit and a slight smokiness. It's like being in a private English club, with old varnished wood, a fireplace and cracked leather armchairs. More balanced than the Enmore 1996, it deserves a few more points. Best with the Skeldon 2001 from S.B.S. RX13842 in this little Skeldon tasting.”

“wunderbare Abfüllung die immer wieder Spass macht. Nachtrag: Macht nicht nur Spass, sondern spielt auch in der absoluten Köngigsklasse. Verglichen mit Velier Skeldon 1973/1978 schlägt er sich blind nicht nur gut!”
