Not too expensive, easy drinkable room. Nice smell and a little sweet finish. Very good.

Actually, I'm not sure what the deal is with the plastic wrap I found on this and the 3-Year Barbados. It makes it look like it's price - which is cheap. Thanks to Total Wine and R.L. Seale's connection you can get some good stuff for $10, $15 and $20. It may not be great (like the XO), but if you have a chance, give it a try. I'm not sure there are many other 5 year rums out there for under $15.

No, this isn't a multi-decade-aged and mature sipper - it's under $30 for a handle. But, considering its pricepoint, rum does not get any better in terms of value. Not quite a sipper (look to the XO, 8, or 12 year for taking Doorly's to the rocks) but the absolute standard for a bajan style mixing rum. Always have a handle or two stocked in my collection and always seem to be running out.

Good stuff! Recieved as a gift. Can't wait to try FourSquare's other rums!

I like Doorlys line. This one isn't so soft and velvet like 12 Y or 14 Y, but profil is the same.

This rum's colour is a nice golden amber shade, surprising light for a rum aged for 5 years. While it has a slight alcohol/chemical smell to it, it is a solid rum for mixing with cola. The resulting rum and cola is light and sweet and very smooth, although the rum flavour is a little "thin", for those expecting more complexity from a 5 yr old.

This is an interesting rum for the price... on the rocks cam be quite harsh but used as a cocktail or cola it becomes devine... Really dry flavour but that's how I like it... Excellent with lime

This is great basic rum that goes on some party with ice, and gets job done.
Definitly not a sipper that I would cherish moments on friday evenings, but still it is better than vodka and cheap whisky

Final verdict:
I will definitly give it another shot on some occasion

Former bourbon drinker, switched to rum when I found Doorly's 5-year. This has become my house spirit. I most commonly drink it over crushed ice. I love substituting this rum for the Puerto Rican Gold rum called for in an original Zombie.

Though it is sold for $22(Texas) in a plastic 1.75L with a label that's usually damaged- I cannot recommend it enough.
