El Dorado Rum Rare Collection 'Skeldon' 2000-18yo (58.3% ABV)

100% continuous Blair Still, 100% tropically matured in Guyana for at least 18 years, non-chill filtered, unblended.
The SWR Marque was formerly produced on a Continuous Blair Still on the Skeldon Sugar Estate.
The Skeldon Distillery was located in the Berbice region along the Corentijn River, near the Surinamese border. In the process of consolidation of the distilleries, the Skeldon Distillery was closed in 1960.
By this time, the SWR mark had been successfully replicated on the Continuous Savalle Still, located in the Uitvlught Distillery. After the closure of Uitvlught in 1999, the Continuous Savalle Still was moved to the Diamond Distillery.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Dried apricots, raisins, almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts.
Taste: Sweet with honey and vanilla. Very dry and woody at the end, with a slightly bitter finish. A wonderfully elegant rum.

THE UNIQUE STILLS
Demerara Distillers operates 9 different Rum Stills. These 9 unique heritage stills allow the distillery to produce a range of different historic rum marques, all with unique characteristics. Over the years, many distilleries closed and Demerara Distillers consolidated and preserved the old heritage stills, marquises and traditional skills that make Demerara Rum so distinctive. The Diamond distillery is located on the eastern bank of the Demerara River. In 2015 and 2017 they released the first editions of the Rare Collection to highlight the 3 Marques of our unique Wooden Stills.
