Skeldon El Dorado Rare Collection SWR 2000
A world‑class Demerara: deeply chocolaty, coffee‑driven and perfectly oaked, with great balance, length and seamless alcohol. Widely praised as one of the standout El Dorado Rare Collection releases.
A sublime Skeldon bottled by El Dorado, which is surely underrated because of the base brand. The nose is very expressive and elegant, carried by typical Guyana markers: chocolate, caramel, spices, vanilla, nuts and dried fruits mingle brilliantly with exotic fruits and fresh notes. A very deep and successful nose. The attack on the palate is just as intense and delicious, with the same dark, roasted and caffeinated structure, with a slight hint of saltiness. It's creamy and round, with no discernible alcohol. The finish continues in the same vein, with a slight bitterness. A highly expressive, multi-faceted rum that offers a superb alternative to the more expensive and sought-after Demerara.Read more

Auto-translatedSimply excellent. Brings the Demerara-typical, unique in this form oak vanilla note in perfection in glass. In addition, chocolate melt, hints of latte, fine spices, caramel, a touch of dried fruit and allspice ... I am impressed time and again by the aromatic force that this bottling conjures up in the glass. That a completely tropically stored Guyana in the Skeldon Marque with such a high-class profile remains available for so long at the issue price is in view of the current demand m.E. not rationally explainable - but shall be fine with me. An absolute price-performance tip, even at prices well beyond the 200€.
Auto-translatedLe frère du Skeldon 2001 S.B.S. “The Nectar”, mais avec beaucoup de nuances. Un nez très proche avec du sucre brun, de la vanille. Plus de douceur. Douceur et vivacité, super intéressant. Une bouche magnifiquement sombre, vive, profonde et élégante. Une finale longue et riche. Le verre vide révèle plus de fruit et un léger fumé. On se croirait dans un club privé anglais avec vieux bois vernis, cheminée et fauteuils en cuir craquelé. Plus équilibré que l’Enmore 1996, il mérite quelques points de plus. Le meilleur avec le Skeldon 2001 de S.B.S. RX13842 de cette petite dégustation de Skeldons et plus complexe que le “Soulfire”.
Sicherlich einer der besten Skeldons. Volle Ladung Schokolade voran mit röstigen Aromen, dazu allerlei Frucht, Vanille und Karamell. Riecht bombastisch lecker. Im Mund setzt sich die Nase fort, wobei die Schokolade und Mokka stark domieren, gepaart mit trockenem Holz und Leder. Zurück bleiben dunkle Noten, schwere Süße und Zitrusfrüchte. Maximal rund. Das ist genau mein Geschmack und der beste Rum, den ich bisher im Glas hatte. Deshalb die hohe Punktzahl!
