“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.”

“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.”

“A fine Skeldon Demerara at great drinking strength for me. Typically dark and heavy. It is quite sweet with a lot of dark fruits and a tobacco note as well. Dark chocolate and some anise. I quite enjoyed this one!”

“Needs something in the glass, then the nose becomes nice spicy, malty-roasty, dark and intense. Here comes the Skeldon typical: dark caramel, heavy molasses and dark maple syrup. Spicy lovage, almost Maggi is accompanied by dried juicy plum and dried dark currants. Pleases me already very well.malty-spicy-roasty also on the palate. Slightly bitter and some wood acidity comes through. Also reminds me of treacle (strong, sour, licorice). I find mocha as well as chocolate, caramel and fresh brioche. In the back it becomes more sour and malty.clearly does not play at the top Skeldon with, but is, despite the only 47%, an intense, good, if a little too sour.”

“I think this was my first Skeldon experience. Very complex in the nose. Got some vanilla and hints of wood. Deep, dark color and very flavourful. I'm getting notes of fresh berries, caramel, vanilla and mocca”

“The nose is quite nice with vanilla, burnt Sugar dried fruit and roasted nuts. The mouth on the other hand is too woody for my taste. There is a lot of dark chocolate and bitter orange. The finish is also very woody and bitter.”
