“The verdict is clear: cannot compete with the younger 2001 (RX13842) in any way. Solid rum, but simply too expensive for what it offers.”

“#4675 22.03.2024 Tasting arranged by Romdeluxe and presented by Parminder S. Bhatia one of the owners of 1423. Nose Light wood, roasted, complex, balanced, dried fruits, plum, light chocolate. Palate Elegant, light roasted wood, plum, raisin, naturally sweet, light coffee, faint chocolate, faint smoke. Finish Medium to long, light roasted wood, dried fruit, light caramel, faint coffee, light chocolate. This is a very well balanced release and it] is on the sweet side without adding sugar. Price to quality can be argued but a good rum indeed.”

“Skeldon always arouses a certain expectation in me... I still don't understand why. Nose very spicy, chocolatey with dark fruits, leather and sweetness. On the palate it is very accessible, oily and sweet. Then immediately a peppery and very spicy taste with chocolate, allspice, slightly menthol and a harmonious barrel influence comes through. At first it reminded me of an old 1983 Panama rum. The finish is then relatively short and unspectacular. Alcohol barely perceptible on the nose and palate. All in all, good/tasty but entertaining.”
