I considered giving this an 8, but looking at others that I’ve given an 8, it falls a little short. It’s a very smooth rum with a good balance. It’s dry but not too dry. Unless you like VERY sweet rums, you’ll like this one. I couldn’t give it an 8 because it lacks character and depth. Others seem to disagree, so perhaps I need to try another bottle. The only distinctive flavor or smell is the oak, which is pleasant and not overpowering. I could drink Doorly’s 12 year-old as a sipper but it just isn’t distinctive enough to love. But, if I had $25 and needed an excellent bottle of rum, I think this just beat out Bacardi 8 as my first choice.

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.

I am super impressed with the various doorly expressions, Mr Seale, and his stance on sugaring. The 12 year old has a nice bit, but is still lovely with lots of black pepper and green vegetal mixed with molasses. It's not a heavy rum though. It drinks very light. And all for the low $20s.... Wow. This is a shelf staple now.

It’s unsweetened, it’s 43%. Must be dry strong, harsh,... And it’s definitely not at all. It has a wood smell and a wood aftertaste. The first taste is little pepper, little sour little sweet. My conclusion; it’s a really balanced rum with nothing very special. A simple but good rum. If u find it to peppery I would recommend u the trigo reserva anejo. It has almost the same taste. Enjoy!

My go to gift for non-rum drinkers who think only of the big brands. This is an amazing taste to value rum.

Fruity aroma, sweetness without added sugar and strong dark chocolate aftertaste that lasts forever. All of this at such a bargain price.
