My journey has mainly been on the more expensive rums so take my comments with a grain of salt. First, for the price point with no sugar added it is a fine rum. Tasted this alongside Appleton 12 rare cask. Doorly’s is a fine rum. But for me a lot of oak. The Appleton was more well rounded also a bit more expensive. Happy sailing on your rum journey.

Jde cítit víno ze sudů po portském a malý náznak vůně ovoce. Vůně není intenzivní.
Chuť je nevýrazná.

Farbe: helles Bernstein
Geruch: getrocknete Früchte, Banane, Melasse, ein wenig Alkohol, fein.
Geschmack: ein wenig getrocknete Früchte, ein bisschen Kokosnuss, gute Balance.
Im Abgang kommt noch eine Holznote dazu.
Es schadet nicht wenn man ihn ein wenig Atmen lässt.

Fazit: ein guter Rum zum pur trinken geeignet, nichts was einem vom Sessel haut, aber man bekommt für sein Geld einen guten Gegenwert.

The internet seems to love Foursquare distillery and I can see why - if you came from whisky or, especially, bourbon. This is a good spirit that is somewhat similar. Easy to drink and far lighter than most oily, sugary rums, it is a good bridge between whisky and sweet rum. That being said, I feel the recent trend of hating on sugar being added to rum elevates drier rums and punishes sweeter ones to the detriment of the spirit. There is an art to dry rum, as there is an art to sweet rum, but one is not better for being absent added sugar.

Endnu en fantastisk rum fra Four Square. Valgt til årets rum i Danmark af Romhatten

For an obscenely low but appreciated $28, I purchased what may be the most serviceable rum I’ve ever had. The taste is great. No sugar or additives mixed in. The nose is pleasant. It’s got a nice, warm, buttery mouth feel, with spicy hints of vanilla and pepper. The 43% ABV, bumped up from 40% a couple of years back, gives it the perfect afterburn that the 40% didn’t have. I prefer a single ice cube, but enjoyed it just as much neat. I won’t waste it on cocktails, but if I did those drinks would taste ridiculously good. Thanks for the daily driver, Foursquare! 👍

nice Barbados rum with good nosing and palate: tropical fruits, vanilla oak - you will find the classical Foursquare flavor with a higher flavor concentration compared to the Doorly XO. Very good price/value relationship. However, the flavor profile is rather monotonous (though it is nice) and the rating would be better if the finish would last longer. Real grade is 7,5.

Loving this one, the first bottle I show friends to let them get a taste of a proper rum.

Smoother than the XO with a more complex flavor of banana, Caramel and a hint spices.

Have had a bottle of this on hand for a few months and have sipped it as well as mixed it.

When sipped neat, the nose is subdued, and has a slight smokiness to it.

Taste is a tad bitter & the wood from the aging process comes through well. Everything here is delicate and there isn't an off flavor. Not very sweet & on the drier side. Good example of a Barbados rum: no nonsense here!

When mixed, as with other Barbados rums, I've generally found this one to be lacking in character. It doesn't make bad cocktails but the rum isn't going to be the star of the show in a tiki drink.

It's worth mentioning that here in the Bay Area you can purchase this rum for $24 at Total Wine, which is absurd for a rum of this quality. Doorly's has some fantastic value out there.
