“This was also a retaste and the points remain as initially scored. Draws wonderful curtains in the glass. Sniffing the sample glass today reveals a nice wooden nose 😊 A very well balanced and subtle profile in my mind. Could drink this all day long actually. Price to quality was very good at release.”

“For me a super Guyana Rum, after half an hour in the glass it unfolds and shows even more great flavors. Addendum: I am thrilled! Addendum 2: Still one of my favorites, but it needs some time in the glass, great coffee flavors, wood, fruit, chocolate, everything is there.”

“Very pleasant, quaffable rum. With increasing time, the great coffee note becomes more prominent. I will soon test the rum against other SWR. Let's see how he does in comparison.”

“The old Skeldon have such a wonderful nose, could sniff it forever: Elegant and concentrated, intense and round. Caramel spicy, dark fruity and malty woody. First you're greeted by this lovely licorice sweetness with maple syrup and lots of molasses. Right behind that, soft creamy taffy with vanilla. Gets a slightly chocolaty texture with mocha. Dark fruits alongside: cherry, dried plum, date and old blood orange. Fantastic. 92Palate: nicely concerted and full-bodied. Woody and spicy. Sweet molasses up front, distinct mocha and chocolate behind. Neatly toasted without being burnt. Slightly bitter cedar comes through with vanilla and licorice. Dried currant please some fruit. 88Overall totally delicious and a very nice rum.”

“Seems more mature than the 2 years younger SWR 2001 from SBS with stronger wood notes. The dried fruit with apricot remains present in the taste but as with the younger. The nose is very inviting, besides oak a smell of cappuccino spilled over its already somewhat aged leather wallet. The alcohol is excellently integrated and the creamy texture goes well with the full flavor experience.”
