EL DORADO SILVER SKELDON 2000 58.3% 70 CL

SILVER COLLECTION

“Blair Still” column still

Originally, the SWR recipe was produced in a "Blair Still" column still on the Skeldon plantation. The Skeldon distillery was located in the Berdice region along the Corentyne River, near the Suriname border. As a result of the process of consolidating its distilleries, Skeldon closed its doors in 1960. In the meantime, the SWR recipe was successfully replicated using the "Savelle Still" still located in the Uitvlugt distillery. When the latter in turn closed in 1999, the "Savalle Still" column still was moved and installed in the Diamond distillery.

Distilled 100% in a Blair Still column still in 2000 and bottled at 58.3% cask strength in 2018.
