    Sweet, roasted Demerara powerhouse
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy El Dorado or other Skeldon bottlings, this gives you that sweet, roasted Demerara depth with extra intensity and complexity at a manageable cask-strength-like ABV.

    Not really suitable for

    Those sensitive to higher ABV, anyone who dislikes wood-driven bitterness and roast, or drinkers seeking very light, fruity or budget-friendly rums.

    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!

    Sehr lecker . Wie würde Zabo sagen diese elenden 200 Zeichen.... echt Nervig... was soll man denn immer schreiben als würde das jemand lesen 🤣🤣🤣🤣 vielleicht wenn man plötzlich umami und Eselsohren rausschmeckt 🫡🙈🤣 Aber nein dieser SWR ist einfach nur lecker.
