Here's the surprise: a 25-year Guyana that leans dark and savory, not just sweet. Expect roasted wood, mocha, dark chocolate and treacle, with plums and dried apricot underneath — plus a Maggi/lovage note several tasters flag. At 47.6% it drinks easy, though a few call the body thin and the finish bitter and a touch sour.
The community says- Dark chocolate, mocha
- Easy drinking strength
- Keep in mind: Bitter finish

How does Skeldon The Nectar Of The Daily Drams SWR 1997 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Dark, roasted Skeldon with a bitter edge A well-liked heavy Skeldon Demerara — dark chocolate, coffee and dried fruit. The recurring catch: some find it too woody, a bit thin for the age, and bitter into the finish.

Beautiful Demerara profile. Pleasant drinking strength, heavy syrupy sweetness, vanilla, tobacco and wood are well integrated, malt, coffee and dried yellow fruit, cola and a little smoky on the finish. Good rum but not a high-flyer.

A very dark Skeldon with a borderline woody bitter notes! He is definitely not my favorite, but a good rum
Review by SaibotZtar
Dark and heavy, it comes across... Lots of dark fruits.... Plums and raisins Dried fruits in general are very much in the foreground. A lot of wood but also a nice sweetness... Oily and hardly any alcohol in the mouth.
Review by DomM
Like the dark and heavy profile. Very much on the edge of being too woody, though. SBS has clearly the upper hand side-by-side. Side-by-side with some 2001 SWRs, the 1997 come out much more elegant and a little more moderated. Wood influence is more accentuated, on the edge of being overwhelming.
Review by mto75
good SWR/Skeldon, only the finish is somewhat weak, but this is also due to the rather low ABV.
Review by Aussierumfan
A fine Skeldon Demerara at great drinking strength for me. Typically dark and heavy. It is quite sweet with a lot of dark fruits and a tobacco note as well. Dark chocolate and some anise. I quite enjoyed this one!
Review by Timo Groeger
It's also a very good rum, but it really lacks the punch here. I find it way too thin. It has a bit of everything, naturally very roasty thanks to mocha, vanilla, and chocolate, but also slightly spicy and woody.
Review by Jakob
Heavy sweetness, roastiness and spiciness due to the wood influence, plus malty notes and some fruit - I like it much better than the SBS representative from the same year.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,6:On the nose, roasted/charred wood notes, dark with leather, caramel, roasted nuts, chocolate, spicy with vanilla and maggi, candied molasses, herbaceous, dried apricots, prunes, metallic patina, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, Demerara sugar is candied, helps with crème brûlée, smokiness arises, confectionery, hints of malt, baking spices and maple, as various fruits join like dried currants, citrus fruits. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is heavy inspite of low ABV, with roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, cocoa and dark chocolate, leather, slightly metallic, sulphurous, spiciness is screaming with Maggi, pepper, vanilla acts as balancing factor.The molasses is candied, dark with black tea, with a combination of sandalwood, on oxidation it becomes perfumed.The fruits are prunes, dried apricots, raisins, citrus fruits...acidity could be noticed, if we air the rum well. 8,4:The finish is, long, dry&tannic, with burnt, roasted wood notes, slightly resinous and spicy, metallic patina, medicinal touch, pairing citrus and dried fruits.
Review by Frank
Needs something in the glass, then the nose becomes nice spicy, malty-roasty, dark and intense. Here comes the Skeldon typical: dark caramel, heavy molasses and dark maple syrup. Spicy lovage, almost Maggi is accompanied by dried juicy plum and dried dark currants. Pleases me already very well.malty-spicy-roasty also on the palate. Slightly bitter and some wood acidity comes through. Also reminds me of treacle (strong, sour, licorice). I find mocha as well as chocolate, caramel and fresh brioche. In the back it becomes more sour and malty.clearly does not play at the top Skeldon with, but is, despite the only 47%, an intense, good, if a little too sour.

#6003 29.11.2025 Warming up before the tasting at Whisky Watcher in Odense tonight. Nose Round, wood, faint smoke, light plum, light chocolate, faint leather, light vanilla. Palate Medium intense, naturally sweet, wood, light roasted, light chocolate, light coffee, plum, light berries. Finish Long, wood, light roasted, light caramel, light coffee, light leather, dried fruit. Empty glass Prunes, vanilla, light leather, chocolate, light coffee.
Review by Johannes
Relatively similar to the SBS. Nice blend of wood, coffee and yellow fruit.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Beautiful dark aromas: roasted, woody, molasses-like. Especially because of this Maggi note I immediately thought of Dictador Rum, which is surprisingly similar to this one. Although this one has more to offer. The finish is too bitter for me.
Review by Tim
A very good rum with a round nose without any faults. Roasty, extremely spicy, caramel, wood and some fruit, which are my favorite aromas. On the mouth a bit weaker, as only 47.6%, which you don't really notice on the nose. Bitter finish is rather short and here I miss the fruits a bit.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Great nose with a slight fruitiness of plum coming through, but taste-wise it’s really borderline regarding bitterness and roasted notes. A slight acidity, plus intense notes of pepper, Maggi, and leather, as well as malt and burnt coffee/moka. The charred notes are really a bit too much for me, sorry...
Review by Christoph
Mixed Skeldon with too much Maggi and in the finish already almost like cough syrup instead of sweet, sour has become
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: I get woody and leather notes mostly. Some vanilla and caramel. Quite dark and maybe dry ish profile on the nose. The typical burnt sugar notes are missing Taste: Woody, roasted with hints of licorice and light coffee notes.Acidic notes pop up here and there. Little bit of vanilla. After a few sips cocos notes appear. Good mouthfeel. Finish: Short finish and with quite a mix of flavours at first. Acidic notes, licorice. Bitter but in a mellow way. Cocoa and chocolate notes appear after few sips. Quite mixed feelings about this one. Im thinking that maybe this was aged for too long, but after a few sips this evolves much better and richer experience. So, for me,this one build up into a good sipper after a while.
Review by alex
It's a shame it lacks a bit of watts because this juice is delicious 😍 I really like this type of profile Beautiful notes of leather, vanilla, caramel, a little mocha. It just glides along Medium length and very well-integrated alcohol
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
I think this was my first Skeldon experience. Very complex in the nose. Got some vanilla and hints of wood. Deep, dark color and very flavourful. I'm getting notes of fresh berries, caramel, vanilla and mocca
Review by Gil Firth
A beautiful guyana. Very sweet and chocolatey but I find this mark with less complexity. Less liquorish and leather. More sweet. בקבוק גיאנה עם מארק קצת פחות מוכר מדודי הסוואל. המון שוקולד. עור. קפה. פירות כהים ותפוחים. דבש. אין פה בשורה חדשה בבקבוק הזה אבל בהחלא בקבוק מצויין שמתפתח יפה. גוף מלא עם המון עניין. פחות מלוכלך ועורי מהרבה גיאנה אחרים. אין אסטרים.
Review by Monkispinne
In the mouth, the insanely delicious. Very sweet, malty, plum and chocolate. The finish slightly bitter with rolled out licorice snails.
Review by Sebastian.W
The nose is quite nice with vanilla, burnt Sugar dried fruit and roasted nuts. The mouth on the other hand is too woody for my taste. There is a lot of dark chocolate and bitter orange. The finish is also very woody and bitter.
Review by Rumclub Latvia
Dark, bitter chocolate, cacao, coffee, mocha. ❤️ Molasses, leather, toffee
Review by Oliver
Interesting skeldon. Maple syrup on the nose. Nice bitterness. The slight acidity and thin finish bother me a bit though.
