Doorly's XO 6-Year

This is very good rum - perhaps not top shelf, but I doubt you'll find better for 16 bucks anywhere. It's nice and dry, with a nutty, oak profile that is reminiscent of fine sherry. Really quite satisfying. They do rum right in Barbados.

This Rum I have had for a time and tested it together with friends this weekend. some of us think that it is a little bit swwet, but as always taste differs. I think it does a good job and gives you a lot of Rum delivers like vanilla, aftertaste and honey.

Nasládlá chuť a příjemná vůně tohoto rumu mi vyhovuje.

For me this is the classic good rum - very pleasant sweet aroma, tasty with sherry and wood tones. I like it. You will not make mistake with this rum.

The Sherrry Finish adds an extra layer to this Bajan Style Rum.

A fantastic rum, made with great skill.It's not a syrup ladened foo foo rum. It's gets even better with a bit of oxidisation. Can punch you in the face when a new bottle is opened and isn't let to sit in the glass for about 10 mins. However when treated right it opens up to be multifaceted enjoyment juice. Everyone should have a bottle of Doorly's in the cabinet.

This is not overly complex, but it delivers - especially at the price it sells for. The use of sherry casks gives more body to a fairly light rum spirit from Barbados's Foursquare distillery. Distinctively creamy, sherried and beautiful, with a naturally drying finish with some oak. Well done!

Rum industriale realizzato assemblando diversi rum invecchiati dai 6 ai 10 anni in botti di bourbon e successivamente con finitura in botti di sherry oloroso.
È un buon distillato con un buon rapporto qualità prezzo, superiore a molti rum più "famosi" anche più costosi.

All'olfatto: mediamente complesso con note di vaniglia, confettura di pesca, cannella, tabacco.

Al gusto: è morbido ma equilibrato da una giusta componente amarognola; ritornano le note dolci all'olfatto e quelle dello sherry. Leggero caramello e un retrogusto accennato di cacao amaro e liquirizia; il finale è medio e la bocca resta pulita, indice di un distillato ben eseguito.

Rum con una complessità media in grado di soddisfare sia i novizi sia i bevitori un po' più esigenti!

Consiglio per tutti: quando annusate un rum (o qualsiasi distillato), prima di inserire il naso e inspirare, effettuate un leggero soffio nel bicchiere e subito dopo provate a sentire i profumi. Questa operazione serve a svampare un po' la potenza dell'alcool che altrimenti vi porterebbe a bruciare nel naso e ad anestetizzare il vostro olfatto.

Provate a berlo prima da solo, poi dopo aver mangiato del cioccolato fondente (dal 70 all'85% max), ed infine dopo aver mangiato una mezza fetta di arancia fresca (compresa buccia è importante) con dello zucchero di canna sopra. ;-)

-----------------------------------------------

Industrial rum made by assembling different rum aged 6 to 10 years in bourbon barrels and then finished in oloroso sherry barrels.
It is a good distillate with good value for money, superior to many more "famous" even more expensive rums.

On the nose: moderately complex with notes of vanilla, peach jam, cinnamon, tobacco.

To the taste: it is soft but balanced by a just bitter component; the sweet notes on the nose and those of the sherry return. Light caramel and a hint of bitter cocoa and licorice; the finish is medium and the mouth remains clean, indicating a well-executed distillate.

Rum with an average complexity able to satisfy both the novices and the slightly more demanding drinkers!

Advice for everyone: when you smell a rum (or any distillate), before inserting the nose and inhaling, make a slight puff in the glass and immediately afterwards try to smell the perfumes. This operation serves to arouse a bit 'the power of alcohol that otherwise would lead you to burn in the nose and to anesthetize your sense of smell.

Try to drink it first alone, then after eating dark chocolate (70 to 85% max), and finally after eating a half slice of fresh orange (including peel is important) with some brown sugar on top. ;-)

The smooth molasses and the double finish give a gentle aroma to this typical Barbadian rum. Easy and ready to drink, is a very good suggest for a not to expensive experience.

A very good rum at a very good price. At around £15 cheaper than the 12 year old this makes it an excellent purchase.
