Dark brown sugar all the way

This is easily the sweetest unsweetened rum I've tried. Layers upon layers of dark brown sugar, on the nose and on the palate. I really don't get anything else.
Not complicated, but balanced, with just a touch of burn. Reminds me mostly of El Dorado 8 overall, weirdly enough.

I was anticipating a smoother XO, but this seems very different to me. Super easy drinking, but without depth, punch or complexity. At first I was disappointed but over time, it's grown on me.

So far, it tastes like the epitome of column/pot molasses rum. It's not funky, smooth, complex, or any other specific. It just hits the bullseye of what the centre point of what rum can be. I can't imagine anyone truly disliking this, but equally, I'm not enthralled either. Equally, I'll be very surprised if I don't buy this again.

Edit - Coming round to this again after a year or so, and I'm enjoying this more this time.
Still simple, bit of burn, gentle sweetness, but all rum and very enjoyable with it.
Definitely a 7

I've been completely blown away by the quality and value of Doorly's, and for around $25 at Total Wine, nothing beats it for me. Absolutely the best value Barbados rum out there.

Really enjoying this rum. I have been experimenting with trading this one in Tiki drinks. Always fun to swap out rums to see what it does in the drink.

After trying the 8 year old, i was not completely sold. It was a tat bit mild with no exciting flavors for my taste. The internet said i should try the 12 year version and boy was the internet right. The flavor punch that the 8 years lacked (in my opinion) was exactly what the 12 years had. A massive amount of flavor hits the pallet when you take the first sip. Only downside, the flavor will disappear fast....Time for a refill

Тук вече говорим за стил и класа.
Сериозен със силен и дълъг финал

Not overwhelming, but light and smooth. Heavy on raisins/currants/figs, slight baking spice

first impression: really strong alcoholic smell, but the the taste differs from that and the alcohol doesn‘t dominate and so it‘s a nacht ce and honest rum from barbados.

This is a step up from the RL Seale 10 and for $24 you can't beet the value for a good sipping rum.
