Levy Lane Skeldon Tamosi Oheru SWR 2001
Coffee, chocolate and burnt sugar lead here, backed by raisin, prune and well-integrated wood that never takes over. This 2001 Skeldon from Tamosi is dark and spice-tinged, with an unusual thread of orange peel, mint and menthol several tasters picked up. One member called it "easy drinking, quite wood and natural sweetness driven." A rich, balanced Demerara sipper that needs time in the glass.

This is a very rare bottle and the price went up pretty quickly after the initial release. That said it's a really good Skeldon. The darkness is there combined with fruit and wood. The balance between the individual flavours is really good and the wood is not dominating.

Un Skeldon sombre sur le sucre brulé, le caramel, beaucoup de café et les fruits secs. C’est le genre de profil de rhum de Guyana que j’apprécie moyennement (réglisse, pruneaux). Ça reste quand même une belle bouteille.
Review by Tim
Der würzige Skeldon! Dunkel, Lakritz, gebrannter Zucker, Maggi, Fass, Schokolade, Kräuter und ein wenig Rosine. Könnte auch ein Port Mourant sein. Nicht unbedingt das, was ich von einem Skeldon erwarte und schätze. Trotzdem gut.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leckerer Skeldon hier von Tamosi. Hier kommt das typische Karamell, Malz, Trockenfrüchte und Schokolade Aroma zur Geltung zusammen mit einer eher ungewöhnlichen aber passenden Aromatik von Orangenschale und Limettenschale, sowie etwas Menthol und Minze. Der Alkohol ist gut integriert und generell sehr ausgewogen. Lecker!
Review by Tschusikowsky
Schöne Abfüllung mit einer tollen, ausgewogenen Gesamtkombo. Klassische Marker, wunderbares Mundgefühl, viel Melassesirup und ordentlich Umami. Wie die meisten braucht er ordentlich Zeit zur Entfaltung. Im Skeldontasting im oberen Mittelfeld.
Review by Jussi Piirainen
On the nose: I get demerera sugar. Hints of vanilla and anis. Its slightly on the sweeter side, but there is woodyness in there. Taste: Wow, first sip was a delight. Very warm and balanced mouthfeel. Primarely i get raisin, chocolate, coffee and dried fruits in a very good palate. Alcohol is integrated perfectly Finish: medium-long finish. Woody, coffee, menthol, dried fruits. Chocolate. Wow, this was an excellent sipper. Long aged and still delivered such a rich palate. This rum goes to my top 5 list for sure.
Review by Henry Davies
A subtle and classic nose - caramel, wood, and rasin. Mouth is dry and more classic Demerara, with mint and menthol alongside the more classic raisin and chocolate notes. It’s not quite as well balanced and deep or layered as some of the other Skeldon’s I have tried but a solid example of the mark. The finish is fresh and vibrant, menthol and peppermint alongside saddle and leather with a sweet brown sugar end. More mint than expected and lacking some integration to really elevate it but a super solid rum
Review by Filip Šikula
Intense caramel, raisins and chocolate on the nose. In the taste it is then a very nicely balanced combination of these flavours complemented by wood and leather. The finish is medium long, quite intense without any unpleasant tails. A very nice rum
