Best sipped neat with a good rest in the glass — several tasters say the alcohol calms right down and the fruit comes through. Woody, roasted, with raisin, plum and vanilla, plus chocolate and mocha on the finish. It's the palest of the 2001 Skeldons, and reviews split on whether it earns the name: some love the balance, others find it thin and sharp for 64%.

8,5:On the nose, slightly alcoholic, roasted wood, smoky, spicy withcaramel, vanilla, rubber, menthol, various fruits like dried apricots, raisins, apples, yellow fruits, flowery molasses, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, mirabelle plum and citrus fruits arise, the molasses is sweet with honey, milk chocolate, leather, nuts and anise join the game...reminiscent of Uitvlugt. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is warm, alcoholic, sharp, the wood is toasted, smoky, spicy with cinnamon, vanilla, various fruits arise with raisins, plum and green fruits, as the molasses is green, sweet with honey, musty, flowery. Some metallic patina might be recognized. 8,2:The finish is medium long, dry&tannic, with toasted oak notes like chocolate, caramel, confectionery, smoky, slightly burnt, spicy with allspice, fruity with green, citrus fruits, raisins, the molasses is slightly flowery. Edit:25.7.26

Complete disaster! What went wrong here? For 64% very thin and hardly typical Skeldon associations present. Rather on the fruity side and without really round caramel and roasted aromas. Basically neutral alcohol with bourbon cask aromas. Just as thin and unbalanced sharp on the palate. Very disappointing, certainly not worth its price.

I like this one. Despite the ABV the rum comes off warm and not alcoholic once rested. Really nice balance between fruit, wood and spices and I like the chocolate on the finish. The empty glass reveals even clearer flavours.
Review by Timo Groeger
Doesn’t come close to the Zamosi, as the alcohol is more noticeable here. Otherwise, what you expect, a very roasted rum. Vanilla and toffee can be detected, also it’s a bit woody.
Review by Johannes
One can already perceive the Skeldon profile, but the alcohol is not well integrated. Unlike the other 2001 Skeldon, this is very bright, so uncolored.
Review by Tschusikowsky
By far the lightest of the 11 Skeldons tasted. Strong hazelnut note. First thought was: PM. Herbs, a bit roasted and fruity. Has little to do with the Mark as you know it for me. Still a passable rum. The alcoholic sharpness does stand out though. Not for the sober palate.

colour light gold aroma delicate, cappuccino coffee and vanilla taste sweet, milky coffee and vanilla
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
Vintage 2001. I rate it 8.0 out of 10, very good rum.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: Had to let this rum sit in a glass. Quite mild and thin on the nose for a 64% rum and compared to other 19 year old skeldons. Woody, raisin dominate the profile. Roasted. Maybe hints of mocca. Taste: Alcoholic burn . Woody. Raisin. Vanilla. Chocolate. Mocca Notes are quite thin/shallow and are missing the depth that you would expect from skeldon rums Finish: Again warm and alcoholic. Chocolate notes. Raisin notes. Quite thin notes. I have to agree with the others that this rum is too alcoholic and quite weak on the flavours, especially when its comes to its peers
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
First of all, the enormously lighter color is noticeable compared to some other 2001 Skeldons. The nose and the taste are also clearly different in comparison. The alcohol is unfortunately extremely present and anything but well integrated. For me, this is unfortunately one of the worst Skeldons on the market, which feels nothing like a classic Skeldon. For me, the color screams primarily continental maturation, so I would be interested in the key data... But I would never blindly guess Skeldon here, but rather Port Mourant. The main problem, however, remains the really incredibly poorly integrated alcohol.
