How does this rum taste?
RumX members love the dark, roasted Skeldon profile: layers of mocha, dark chocolate and molasses glide over leather and wood, with vanilla-treacle sweetness. Distilled in 1997 on the Savalle still and aged 25 years, it opens up in the glass and shines neat at 47.6%. Some note a shorter, slightly bitter-woody finish, yet it remains a popular SWR pick among 52 reviewers.

Dunkle und Schwer kommt er rüber... Viel Dunkle Früchte.... Pflaumen und Rosinen Trockenfrüchte generell sind sehr im Vordergrund. Ordentlich Holz aber auch eine Schöne Süße... Ölig und kaum Alkohol im Mund zu spüren.
Nice demerara profile. Pleasant drinking strength, heavy syrupy sweetness, vanilla, tobacco and barrel are well integrated, malt, coffee and dried yellow fruit.
Like the dark and heavy profile. Very much on the edge of being too woody, though. SBS has clearly the upper hand side-by-side. 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.
good SWR/Skeldon, only the finish is somewhat weak, but this is also due to the rather low ABV.
