    How does this rum taste?

    Dark, roasted, dangerously drinkable SWR
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy SBS or El Dorado Skeldon-style Guyanas but want a softer, couch-friendly pour, this SWR delivers classic dark Demerara flavors with extra drinkability at 48.9%.

    Not really suitable for

    High-ABV hunters or those wanting maximum intensity, long finishes or bright fruity profiles; also less ideal for value-focused buyers given its elevated price.

    Edit: added a few tasting notes. The low ABV detracts a little from the picture, but makes it all the more delicious and drinkable. I stand by the rating. I think it's very, very tasty 😋 First impression: Tasted it briefly today while sampled and am very impressed. Definitely tastes better than the Velier "Holzbombe" Skeldon from 1978. Detailed evaluation to follow.

    Auto-translated

    Intense on the nose delivering all beloved SWR markers including dried fruits, coffee and burnt sugar. Dark and wood forwards. Very nice. Similar showing in the palate. Nicely balanced SWR notes. Despite the extra maturation, this isn’t to woody in any way. Dark, dried fruits, wood and some sweetness are all nicely balanced and very enjoyable. Looking at the ABV: side-by-side with RX13842 (SBS 54.1%) the TRC performs very well. The nose is more complex and smoother, while the SBS shows some alcohol, which I did not recognize previously. On the palate, the TRC is noticably softer. However, this also brings a better balance and fruit notes are more prominent. All in all I don’t think the lower ABV is a problem tbh. This is just a very nice SWR bottling.

    Sehr schöner fruchtiger Auftakt mit kandiert, gerösteten obst. Ein Hauch Schokolade und tee. Samtig weich, leichte schoko süße, Kaffee und getrocknete Früchte. Zum schluss sehr geile bitter noten, dunkle schoko, leichter holzeifluss. Alkohol super eingebunden. Macht sehr viel Spaß, geht runter wieder Öl.

    Eine ausgewogene, runde Nase. Holzig, würzig, Karamell und Rosine. Ein Hauch Lösungsmittel. Gute Stärke und wahrscheinlich süffig… Ja, sehr süffig. Geschmacklich geht es ähnlich weiter. Warm und gute Trinkstärke. Gefällt mir hier richtig gut. Ein sehr guter, süffiger SVW. Ein kontinental gelagerter Demerara zum Genießen. 😊😊😊 Danke nach Bonn!
