Doorly's ABV43 12-Year

A very smooth, easy sipping rum. The long time in the barrel trades some of the caramel and fruity flavor of younger Bajan rums for oak, dark cherry and chocolate flavors. Complex and mouth coating, an ever evolving experience - from molasses to leather to cherry cola and somewhere beyond. Really quite exceptional for something under $50

My wife got me this one, perhaps she had seen it on my wishlist here ;-). Bottle and design are pretty clean, not too big a fan of the screw cap though. A bit dry, but certainly not overdoing it. Not overly sweet either, and it provides an enjoyable after burn which us just a little stronger than medium. Overall quite satisfying..

This is a decent rum for the price. Hoped for a little more

The first taste is the alcohol, but quickly this develops into a warm, deep and rich rum. Not artificially sweet, just rum as rum should be. I drank this neat, but I think a drop of water or lime would bring out the flavours nicely. Excellent run.

Cant remember the rum itself but I saved the bottle for my collection so it must have been good.

This, at the time of writing, is currently my favourite rum. The taste is really good but the finish is utterly astonishing. It makes you smile after every sip. I didn't have massively high expectations when i bought this due to a lot of mixed reviews but i am so glad i bought this! I wish bars & pubs etc round my area would sell rum like this rather than Bacardi, Captain Morgans etc. I would finish their whole bottle no matter how much a double each time costs! Only reason i did not give a 10 as i am sure there will eventually be something i love even more, like possibly the Appleton Joy blend which i am dying to try.

Great sipping rum that is less sweet. One of my favorites

I sip it slow and the flavors come out more and more as it breathes. Unbeatable value.

This rum is a blend of Bourbon bask and also Madeira cask. So, it has light and bright flover.
However, I think that aging by 100% Bourbon cask is a better for Barbados flover.
So, Mount Gay XO is better for me.

Really nice dry rum. Good when you want start with rums without added sugar. Flavours of vanilla, wood, orange and sugar cane. Very well balanced and smooth.
