Skeldon S.B.S Guyana SWR 2001
Highly praised as a full-bodied, chocolate‑coffee and toffee‑driven Skeldon with great balance, warmth and length. Considered a top modern Demerara, often compared favorably with El Dorado Skeldon bottlings.
Demerara and Skeldon fans who enjoy sweet‑leaning but complex rums packed with dark chocolate, coffee, toffee and well-integrated oak at a confident cask‑style strength.

How does this rum taste?
Dark, coffee‑driven Skeldon powerhouse
If you like El Dorado Skeldon or other dark, coffee‑and‑chocolate Guyanas, this keeps that profile but adds extra punch and depth—great once you’re comfortable above 50% ABV.
Beginners or those sensitive to ABV, and drinkers who dislike woody bitterness or prefer light, fruity, low‑intensity sippers.
A beautiful rum with a lot of flavors and a high drinkability. The rum is round and mature.

Very round, sweet melange of spices and fresh wood. For me, a bit too straightforward and pleasing in profile to strike out even higher in the rating. But that is criticism at the highest level, since the top league from Guyana simply has even more complexity, finesse and aromatics to offer. Nevertheless, a high-class representative of the current Demerara squad.
Slightly ahead of the WH #1 bottle. Feels just a bit more round overall and more open on the nose. Both (unsurprisingly) quite similar, however.
Now we're talking. Guyana in top form. Skeldon is simply awesome. 💯🙏🤤 Very tasty, complex and full-bodied number of roasted almonds & coconut chips, vanilla pulp, allspice, strong coffee, dark bittersweet chocolate, banana pulp and raisins soaked in rum, figs and apricots, slightly salty and dark caramel and of course lots of wood and tannins. Similar to the El Dorado Skeldon, it also has hints of rum, walnut and grape jelly 🤤 but I'm most impressed by this great vanilla pulp note!
