This is one of my favorites in this price range. Great taste and body, much in line with the general quality from Foursquare

Velmi komplexní nedoslazovaný sušší rum, který určitě zůstane součástí mého rumového baru. V chuti jde cítit stáří rumu a neskutečné úsilí ve vytvoření tohoto fantastického rumu. Nic pro slečinky, ale pro ty, kteří v chuti chtějí cítit kvalitu a komplexnost.

Scents of bananas, tropical fruits, plums and sherry. The aroma is slightly sweet, very pleasant. I experienced a taste of honey, fruits and sherry. Strong and kicks. Pleasantly long lasting finish. Slightly naturally sweet and warm. Overall I would consider it a dry rum. For its price a real deal.
A nice smooth aged rum. I think this is a good stand alone and need not be mixed. Good flavor sans added sugar.

nose: some oak (also a little bit of bad barrel smell but not so much) and tropical fruits, some alcohol burn (let it sit in the glass 10 minutes),
in the mouth: fruity as a Bajan rum must be ! it s not so powerful and deep as the 14 but very similar ... it s dry, ok it have some natural sweetness, i ve found some chocolate too (tasting it with a Nicaraguan, medium strength cigar)
medium, warming finish
i ll give it a 9 because of that little disturbing oaky smell (very similar smell i ve found in st james xo, but that one is undrinkable), but it remains a very good rum !
i can say that bajan is my preferred rum style

Might as well be drinking spring water cause that's what it taste like. No caracter at all. Just another boring rum. I just don't see what all the hype is about. Maybe I got a boring bottle? Sorry but the 8yr old blows this away. This has nothing at all. Just your basic no flavor rum. Probably a great mixer but I don't go there. It got 4 because there's no added sugar but that's it guys. Stick with the 8yr old it a good bang compared to this awful 12 yrs old rum flavored water.

Not bad, but still nothing special about this rum.
I was expecting something better in after-taste of this rum and don't feel like there is something!
About the price, I think it should be a bit lower.
bottom line: I would bought this for second time

Smooth and very easy to sip. The typical flavour profile of Foursquare with the right amount of wood. This is smoother and easier to sip than R.L Seale 10 but lacks the depth and flavour only just. Let it breathe for a few minutes and you will be highly rewarded. Highly recommend and will try to always have on hand.

An excellent rum and a terrific bargain...

The more rums I sample from R.L. Seale & Co. the more impressed I am with Richard Seale. There seems to be something almost mythical about the man in the rum world. I read so many positive things about him and how he produces rum. Nothing hidden. No semantics games on the labels. No additives. It is what it is.
Also the use of macaws, parrots, et al on the labels is a bonus for me. I have a very spoiled cockatiel named Cheech who would love to be on a Doorly's label.
But I digress...
The color is a rich amber and is very clear. No murkiness or spottiness at all. It demonstrates excellent legs in my snifter when swirled. Leaving droplets that eventually make their way to the bottom of the snifter. The aroma is excellent and inviting. Again I must confess that I cannot distinguish individual odors but will tell you the aroma is one that I like.
The flavor is outstanding. A slight sweetness on the outset with a little butteriness. The oak is present but mild. This is a smooth rum well deserving to be a sipper's rum. However versatile enough to work well as a mixer. And at $25 a bottle it is a great bargain for the high quality rum. I detect some hints of vanilla and other subtle flavors. Rather complex but not overwhelming. The finish is a combination of the molasses from the cane and the tannins from the oak. A rather interesting balance. And a very smooth rum.
Doorly's continues to be a brand worth seeking. No one locally sells it. I had to go to Jacksonville to discover it. Well worth it. Definitely will pick up a spare bottle when I am in that neck of the woods. I recommend this rum highly.
