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

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.

Very nice sipping rum, especially for the price! Natural sweetness, caramel, fruit. Also 43% which is nice as most are 40% at this price point. 8/10

Rhum sans sucre ajouté trouvable pour un certain budget (40-50€).
En un mot, équilibré, une subtile fusion entre des notes chocolatés et épicés, voire secs. Il est très élégant et n'accroche pas tant que ça.
Je conseille vivement à n'importe qui souhaitant trouver un rhum s’éloignant des plus doux.

Very good rum. Feel his class and high quality. It comes from Foursquare distillery. It is a very good, cheaper alternative to the Foursquare brand. No added sugar is his advantage for me. This is a very good example as it should taste rum, including without additives. Despite this, it's nice, naturally sweet, rich aroma and smell, long pleasant finish. I'm happy to come back to him. One of the best I drink.

Being manufactured in one of the world’s best distillery, the quality and value make this rum a great buy. Low on the sweetness which probably characterizes the distillery’s commitment to limiting sugar additives, and rich flavor.

I just sipped this side by side with the Doorly's XO and this is a much more full bodied rum. The nose brings aromas of a slight toffee sweetness, caramel, a bit of tire rubber and leather. The palette is nice with notes of coconut, more caramel, leather again amid hints of orange and dark fruit, like figs and raisins. I really like this and it is definitely in my rotation for a sipping rum, I wish it was just a little more complex and had just a bit of a longer finish. But for the price it is a very solid offering.
Sipping this also made me revise my rating and review for the XO. Sipping the two side by side made it obvious how thin the main palette of the XO is.

Smoother than the Doorly's XO and significantly different - the younger Doorly's has more of a classic caramel/oak flavor while the elder has a deeper oaky flavor with hints of dried fruit. Both are delicious natural rums and some may call them "hot" compared to other sugary rums. The barrel aging really imparts a lot of flavor over the years. You get a lot of oaky bourbony flavor in this but it's not quite as sweet as bourbon itself. Update: I finally got a chance to try this side by side with MGXO which is lighter tasting, not as bold/sharp as the Doorly's 12 as well as being fruitier with more sweetness and vanilla. Doorly's 12 in comparison has more of a whiskey flavor and the age gives it a more funky wood/chocolate/dried fruit character. Update: loving this all over again, recently had real mccoy 12 year which helped me to taste the bourbon flavor in this rum even more and further notice the fruitiness not found in whiskeys. Time helps it so much as well. Can't beat it for the price, drink it neat!
