Doorly's ABV43 12-Year

Typical Foursquare rum in that it’s 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!

Ostřejší rum, Ok, ale něco mi na něm úplně nesedí.

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.

Is one of the best rums I ever drink. Very good Barbados

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.
