I liked the bottle and bought it. And the rum was worth buying it.

At first sip on a freshly opened bottle I wasn't impressed. But the more I sipped it and the more it breathed the more I enjoyed it. Great flavors and finish. The spices, caramel and banana blend well.

This rum is perfect for sipping. Warms up and leaves pleasant aftertaste. Lightly sweet, but not artificially sweetened. Oak, molases, caramel, full bodied rum. For the price it is truly great!

Typical Barbados rum, dry, smooth, minimal afterburn. In addition nice brown color. It is a must for less sweet rum lovers.

Inexpensive, great on its own or in mixed drinks, makes the perfect corn n oil. This is the one that made me love anything foursquare.
Very easy gentle rum. I drink my rum 50:50 with water and this one just slips away nicely. Quite light with a longish whisky note on the finish. Worth the ยฃโs

Typical Foursquare rum in that itโs delicious and crisp. No additives and bold flavor at 43%.
Atypical Foursquare in that the price point belies the exceptional quality usually associated with FS rum.
A bit simple in flavor notes compared to some other offerings, but very satisfying and would be as good in a cocktail as it is as a sipper.
Caramel, brown sugar and honey notes followed by noticeable oak/wood notes and a decent burn.
A bit docile on the palate, and a slightly bitter aftertaste, but entirely drinkable!

An excellent rum and a terrific bargain...

The more rums I sample from R.L. Seale & Co. the more impressed I am with Richard Seale. There seems to be something almost mythical about the man in the rum world. I read so many positive things about him and how he produces rum. Nothing hidden. No semantics games on the labels. No additives. It is what it is.
Also the use of macaws, parrots, et al on the labels is a bonus for me. I have a very spoiled cockatiel named Cheech who would love to be on a Doorly's label.
But I digress...
The color is a rich amber and is very clear. No murkiness or spottiness at all. It demonstrates excellent legs in my snifter when swirled. Leaving droplets that eventually make their way to the bottom of the snifter. The aroma is excellent and inviting. Again I must confess that I cannot distinguish individual odors but will tell you the aroma is one that I like.
The flavor is outstanding. A slight sweetness on the outset with a little butteriness. The oak is present but mild. This is a smooth rum well deserving to be a sipper's rum. However versatile enough to work well as a mixer. And at $25 a bottle it is a great bargain for the high quality rum. I detect some hints of vanilla and other subtle flavors. Rather complex but not overwhelming. The finish is a combination of the molasses from the cane and the tannins from the oak. A rather interesting balance. And a very smooth rum.
Doorly's continues to be a brand worth seeking. No one locally sells it. I had to go to Jacksonville to discover it. Well worth it. Definitely will pick up a spare bottle when I am in that neck of the woods. I recommend this rum highly.
