My first impression of this rum was very good, especially considering its price (€25). In fact it was so good to me that I didn't trust myself. I decided to do a side by side tasting with a Plantation Barbados 2001, which I really enjoy.

The rum has a nice dark amber colour, apparently from the second ageing in sherry casks. Popping the cork... wait... no cork but a screw cap, fine as long as the rum is good. I do like the bottle design though. In the glass it has a pleasant sweet nose, the Plantation has a more fruity aroma.

Tasting each alternately with some dry crackers and water in between sips I was very pleasantly surprised with how they compared. The Doorly's is a more pure rum, not too sweet and quite complex. The Plantation is more fruity and sweet. Both rums are very smooth and they have a nice warm and long finish.

I have to say the bottle is emptying rather quickly, but at this price that's not a big issue. This one has definitely made me very curious about the other Doorly's rums!

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!

As others have stated, a really good quality unsweetened honest Rum. Lots of great flavours and no harsh alcohol burn, there is an afterburn, but a very pleasant one.

Doesn’t really stand out. On the bitty shelf, but rum is alright.

Not heard of this, but it turned out to not be something rememberable.

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

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.

5.5 on my scale. Bought for a friend. Tried it over ice. Decent with a bit of an afterburn. Better mixed
