Review by cigares
Skeldon fait rêver les amateurs. Qu’en est-il de la version “The Nectar” de l’embouteilleur S.B.S. ? Très beau nez, on se croirait dans un club privé anglais avec fauteuils en vieux cuir et un soupçon de fumé. Un nez très profond avec un soupçon de Kirsch. La bouche est très ample et souple. On retrouve le vieux cuir et un peu d’amandes amères. La finale est super longue, presque infinie. Le verre vide a une complexité de parfum, avec des notes de base (bois, cuir, sucre) et des notes de tête avec des fruits secs, de la vanille et des fruits très mûrs. Regoûté et un net cran en dessous du El Dorado tout en restant un rhum splendide.

Now this is a demerara Rum, wow.If you rest this one for 15 minutes you're going to be in roasted nutty heaven. The roasted oak is heavy from nose to finish without being too dominant. Wonderfully balanced in its complexity.Spice, licorice and chocolate envelopes this to create a perfect harmony on your palate.Great rum unfortunately also not on my shelves.

Had a small tasting today in the company of Mr. Joshua Singh himself. Great stuff ❤️
Review by Johannes
Alcohol is not optimally integrated. Nevertheless, good Skeldon.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Unfortunately, alcohol clearly too superficial. Pity.Update 2021-11-23: Much better impression! Daily form rules. 😊
Review by Serge
Tasted with the 2001 Nobilis Swr, the SBS 2001 21yo SWR and the 2001 Nectar ... this one is just ahead of the SBS 21yo and the Nobilis as my favorite.

Slightly too saucy
Review by Leo Tomczak
Very identical to the VM SWR. Slightly stronger alcohol leads to a slightly fuller mouthfeel. Slightly smokier. Very nice rum with a pronounced hazelnut note.
Review by Simon Charbonnier
Curious to see how it evolves after a few months. Needs more ventilation
