A smooth rum with a spicy finish. Good flavor, although nothing stands out on the nose.

Tastes like rum without standing out in any particular flavor profile. Typical of Foursquare rums, not sweetened but still flavorful with a hint of sweetness.

Spicy finish and some good tingle and burn.

100% would drink again, if not my first choice.

similar to the 12 but not as deep and smooth. Sweeter in a great way. The sherry finish works perfectly

A nice dry rum, sherry cask finish definitely comes through. At this price point youโ€™re getting a lot. My go-to rum when I make Grog. Nice bottle, doesnโ€™t seem to be sweetened or artificially colored.

One of the first middle class rums I have tasted so far. As someone used to whisky I can definitly recommend this rum, for me the palate is rich and delicate, a little burn but well balanced to the taste.

Then again I am not a seasoned rum drinker so my opinion does not carry alot of weight, but I like it nonetheless.

Originaires de la Barbade, les rhums Doorly's sont produits par R.L.Seale & Company, distillerie รฉgalement ร  lโ€™origine des Foursquare et R.L Seale's. Ces trois marques proposent donc des rhums issus des mรชmes alambics et bรฉnรฉficiant dโ€™une attention et dโ€™une qualitรฉ de production identique.
Le Doorlyโ€™s XO est un rhum de mรฉlasse, fruit de lโ€™assemblage de plusieurs eaux de vie ayant ensuite subit un double processus de vieillissement. Ainsi il passe entre 5 et 8 ans en fรปts de chรชne amรฉricain (bourbon) avant dโ€™รชtre affinรฉ durant deux annรฉes en fรปts de Sherry Oloroso ;
Il est utile de prรฉciser que ce rhum ne subit aucun ajout de dโ€™arรดmes, colorants ou de substance sucrante.

Si le flaconnage nโ€™a rien de bien original, la gamme Doorlyโ€™s est facilement reconnaissable grรขce aux oiseaux qui ornent les รฉtiquettes, en lโ€™occurrence sur le XO, le ara hyacinthe, perroquet que lโ€™on ne retrouve pas ร  la Barbade, mais plutรดt dans certaines zones dโ€™Amรฉrique du Sud. Le bouchonnage de type ยซ capsule ร  vis ยป est lโ€™รฉlรฉment clairement perfectible de lโ€™ensemble.

Notre avis : une belle entrรฉe en matiรจre pour celles et ceux qui veulent se lancer dans la dรฉcouverte des rhums de la Barbade. Un bon rapport qualitรฉ prix pour un rhum, sรฉrieux et sans ajout. Notre petit conseil, patienter un peu en le laissant dans votre verre avant de le dรฉguster.

Nez : gourmand avec ses notes de vanille et coco, il rรฉvรจle le caractรจre de ce rhum et รฉvoque le boisรฉ du fรปt,

Bouche : une belle attaque enveloppante, un peu sรจche avec ses notes de vanille, boisรฉe et torrรฉfiรฉe,

Finale : une trรจs jolie longueur avec ses notes de tabac blond sรฉchรฉ.

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.

This is the 40% review.
A good and natural rum, for sure. With a lot of potential for blended rums. If you like rums with woody profile and orange in the taste this one is for you.
I would prefer an older version of XO. But it's still a natural rum with nice flavours.
I like it especially for Daiquiri cocktail.
Ron Botran 1893 is a little bit better in my opinion and has also orange in the profile.

Since the new XO has 43% this rum became much better. I have to rate it with an 8.
The taste is still similar, but more concentrated and richer.

Smell: oak, vanilla, orange, some apricot, caramel, dry fruits
Taste initial: some orange, with oak, apricot, some caramel, wood with tannins
Taste middle/finish: burned sugar, vanilla, wood/barrel, orange, spice, tannins
Aftertaste: wood, orange

Sweetness: 2/5
Spice: 3/5
Fruit: 3/5
Mildness: 3.5/5
Value (27โ‚ฌ): 3.5/5
Experience level: amateur

Good in a mixed drink but not to my taste as a sipper. Good rum for the price.

Very similar to the 8 year, maintaining all of the caramel, vanilla, and stone fruit characteristics that make Bajan rum so delicious - with a slight oaky overtone and a hint of sherry sweetness poking through. Excellent as a mixer or on the rocks. I honestly prefer this over the 12 year as I feel it has a more robust profile that's not overpowered by a whiskey-like oakiness.

This rum does not provide a lot of complexity a very simple rum with flavors of vanilla and caramel. It is a very easy to drink rum which I really like.
