Skipper Rum

A delicious dark rum distilled in Guyana, Skipper was launched in 1930 and it still has the same label! A rich, thick spirit which works brilliantly well in cocktails, or with cola and a squeeze of lime.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Treacle, butterscotch and manuka honey on the nose, with hints of black pepper, espresso bean and charred oak.

Palate Buttery and smooth with notes of crème caramel, gooey toffee and custard. Lots of spice going on, particularly pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Finish Good length, fading away on cinnamon and gingernut biscuits.

I've been really good, can I have

A taste of Christmas
Super-treacly nose, followed by mouth-filling tastes of vanilla, dried fruits and clotted cream. This rum punches way above its weight.

Great black treacle taste
Pretty dam good. Don't mix it though as you'll loose the flavour. On par with Eldorado although not as smooth but much cheaper.

My all time favourite dark rum. A gorgeous Guyanese rum distilled on the banks of the Demerara River!

Proper old school
A proper old school dark rum. Fantastic VFM. A lovely winter addition for the hip flask.

Dark rum....a great addition to......
Firstly, I absolutely love the label!
The first thing that hits you as you contemplate a sip is the overbearing smell of treacle, the second thing once you’ve taken the plunge is the smoothness inside the mouth, a similar complexity to that of Ron Zacappa 23 ....which is not normally found in a £20 bottle of rum....this is followed by a slow gentle burn which doesn’t outstay it’s welcome.
Skipper is a demerara rum and its overriding flavour is treacle...which is to be expected from a molasses based rum....it couldn't taste of anything else! I would say this would be a great addition to any rum enthusiast’s cabinet.

Great value, great taste.
As a standard rum this has to be one of the best. Love it and worth every penny.
