How does this rum taste?
Skipper Dark Rum, produced in Guyana from molasses, offers a complex blend of flavors and aromas that captivate enthusiasts. Aged with care, it presents strong molasses, coffee, caramel, and dark chocolate notes on the nose. The palate reveals an intriguing mix of dark chocolate, spicy tones, and baking spices, complemented by a subtle burn and dried fruit undertones. Reviews highlight its balanced profile with both sweetness and bitterness, making it a desirable choice for mixing, especially in cocktails and with cola. Although its relatively low intensity limits its appeal for sipping, its traditional Demerara blend style reinforces Skipper's reputation as a solid mixer option.

An off brand Demerara that commits to the bit. Classic brown sugar and toffee notes on the nose, with a standard if mild palate, and a surprisingly strong finish for the proof.
A pleasant smell of molasses, dark chocolate and coffee, quite spicy. The taste is also spicy, chocolate, oily and slightly burning from the alcohol. The medium-long finish is slightly sweet at first, then becoming a bit more bitter.
Too much sugar for me. Coffee and fake vanilla as well.
Pleasant enough nose. Really a mixing rum and it shows, fairly one dimensional in the mouth with a surprisingly peppery finish. With coke it does well, toffee notes come to the fore and certainly a solid mixing rum if looking for more of that navy style Demerara blend
