Velier Skeldon SWR 1973 32yr 60,5%
The "SWR" 1973 from Guyana's Skeldon distillery, bottled by Velier, is a true collector’s masterpiece. Distilled from molasses in a Coffey Still and aged for 32 years, it boasts a 60.5% ABV. Users highlight its perfectly balanced profile, featuring aromas of cocoa, coffee, burnt notes, licorice, and blackberry. The palate delivers an intense, full-bodied experience with complex tannins and coffee flavors. Slight bitterness and a hint of oak are present but not overpowering. This rum's rich, multi-layered dark notes and subtle sweetness make it exceptional. Ideal for those who appreciate complexity, it’s a rare gem for any serious collector.

“Very noble profile, even if extremely bitter. Cocoa, coffee, leather, barrel - multi-layered dark notes paired with some dried fruit and subtle sweetness. For me, the nose is one of the best I've ever tasted - however, the rum's age has caused it to lose some of its edge on the palate. A rum for which you have to take your time, but which is well worth it.”

“A tad better on the nose than the 1978. Too much wood on the palate.”

“Compared to the Skeldon 78, the 73 can absolutely keep up. The nose is almost even better than the 78, on the palate a certain bitterness, but not at all disturbing. Liquid story!”
