„A very nice release with nice wood power without it being too dominant. Very good ABV integration and I like the fruityness in the overall profile. The finish is extremely long and the empty glass has wonderful flavours after a while.“

„Delivers all you would expect and get in the other 2001 SWRs. Very nice. Marginal points decrease only for the finish, which is a bit thinner than in other bottlings.“

„Awesome nose, warm, malty, sweet, fat. The palate is hardly inferior - with a big BUT: Only after ultra-long breathing (at least an hour) it really unfolds its flavors! As if the liquid must first thicken, quite funny. Who is impatient will experience a disappointment, then the rum seems strangely flat. But those who show patience will be rewarded. Fine thing! 👍“

„Very good! Must soon be compared with the other 2001s.“

„A Diamond typical of Skeldon's style, in which we find the big markers on the nose: a dark olfactory profile of chocolate, coffee, leather, spices (licorice, cinnamon, chili, vanilla, clove), wood and coffee, with dried fruits (prune, raisin) and exotic fruits (banana) rounding out the profile with a dose of freshness. A fairly heavy rum, which coats the nostrils with a lovely roundness. The palate is full and flavorful. Dark notes dominate: chocolate, coffee/mocha, walnuts, leather, but also roasted aromas, wood and spices amplify the palate's drinkability. Prunes, raisins, caramel, tobacco and black tea add finesse and complexity. A full-bodied rum, with perfectly integrated alcohol. The finish is long, dark and elegant. Slight bitterness blends well with leather, black tea and aromatic herbs. The fruity and spicy side is very refined, with a certain heaviness that coats the tongue and sticks to the palate. A deep, gourmet Diamond, with finesse and generosity.“

„In comparison tasting with Nobilis and Sbs. Very pronounced hazelnut/almond note with vanilla tones. Reminds me of Christmas market aromas. Nice long finish with roasted flavors. Very drinkable rum with perfectly integrated alcohol.“

„Beautiful complexity, a certain pleasant liveliness. When I tasted it again, the earthiness didn't bother me at all. I find it more diverse and fruity than other Skeldons. The alcohol is also perfectly integrated.“

„A rum that's rather barrel-aged and could have been more expressive. Still a cut above the rest, but far from the monster you'd expect to find when tackling the SWR mark.“

„The Mark SWR is named after Sir William Ross, founder of the Skeldon Estate! This molasses rum was distilled on a Continuous Blair Still at Diamond in 2001, then aged for 21 years before being bottled in 2022 as a 54.2% BDF in a limited edition of 209 bottles by Nobilis (selected by Salon du Rhum)! The bouquet is delicious and full of vanilla! There's a lovely burnt sugar tart with fruitiness galore (prunes, coconut, banana, raisin, citrus ...). The whole is perfectly balanced and harmonious. On the palate, it's just as pleasant and creamy. There's less fruit (apart from citrus) and more sweet cocoa. And there are notes of roasting and leather! The finish is long and fine, with spices, wood and a hint of raisin. My goodness, this Skeldon is good. Its only problem is that it drinks too easily! But the good news is that I've got a small bottle in the cellar which should be opened soon...“

„One more absolutely stunning release from Nolibis. This Guyana release are very juicy, so much fruitiness on first sight. On taste dried apricot, wood spices. Something floral also.“

„Dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Creamy espresso. Nuts. Prunes. Woods (of Ypres). Hints of leather and fruits here and there. Something balsamic in the background. Opulent. Round. Great integration of alchohol. Really a great selection by the Salon du Rhum. To be kept and moderately consumed. Edit: further tastings revealed some almond. After some parallel tastings, slight correction of the rating. 93/100.“

„A dying port, with its taste of soap. Not inherently bad, but not my diamond profile“
