wow. this is really a very good rum. lovely blood orange after taste (not bitter or valencia orange for me). some burnt caramel and very dark chocolate. not sweetened that i can detect. i am buying this and trying the 12 and XO as well. this is really something.

The Doorly's 14 is a Barbados rum from the Foursquare Distillery, which was allowed to store in bourbon barrels for about 14 years and then gets its finish in Madeira barrels. It is a blend of column and pot style rums. Slightly diluted, it is bottled without dyes and sugar or filtration with 48% alcohol. The bottle is typical Foursquare and with the Doorly's label a bit more playful and cheerful.

On the nose, the rum shows strong caramel notes with a fruity touch. Vanilla and burnt wood are also there. Classic Foursquare but everything a little lighter and fresher than my ESC 2007. But also less complexity. On the palate, the rum has a lot of wood with caramel, some fruit and clear bourbon and roasted aromas. A spicy rum that goes into the finish with the intense wood note which remains present for a long time.

A great rum, which clearly surpasses the 12 years matured Doorly's, but at the same time still has a lot of air up to the ESC series from Foursquare. An own rum, which can convince. If you like a lot of barrel influence, this is the right place for you. A bit too expensive to buy and therefore a solid 8 like the 12years.

Der Doorly's 14 ist ein Barbados Rum aus der Foursquare Distillerie, welcher ca. 14 Jahre in Bourbon Fässern lagern durfte und dann in Madeira Fässern sein Finish bekommt. Es ist ein Blend aus Column und Pot Stil Rums. Leicht verdünnt wird er ohne Farbstoffe und Zucker oder Filtration mit 48% Alkohol abgefüllt. Die Flasche ist typisch Foursquare und mit dem Doorly's Label etwas verspielter und fröhlicher.

In der Nase zeigt der Rum kräftige Karamel Noten mit einem fruchtigen Beiklang. Auch Vanille und gebranntes Holz sind da. Klassisch Foursquare aber alles etwas leichter und frischer als bei meinem ESC 2007. Aber auch weniger Komplexität. Am Gaumen hat der Rum viel Holz mit Karamel, etwas Frucht sowie klare Bourbon und Röstaromen. Ein würziger Rum der mit der intensiven Holznote in das Finish geht welche lange präsent bleibt.

Ein toller Rum, welcher den 12 Jahre gereiften Doorly's deutlich übertrifft, gleichzeitig aber auch noch viel Luft bis zur ESC Serie von Foursquare hat. Ein eigener Rum, welcher überzeugen kann. Wer viel Fasseinfluss mag ist hier richtig. Zum Kaufen etwas zu teuer und daher eine solide 8 wie der 12jährige.

This is a good rum, no doubt, but perhaps not as fantastic value as fx. their 8 or 12 year. The character is a tad "darker" and more wood influenced than the younger brothers. Pricewise we are nearing some of the foursquare exceptional cask releases and again this fall's a bit short compared to most of those releases.
The nose is really great with caramel, vanilla, varnish, pepper and oak. Perhaps a bit of ripe plum and sweet tobacco peaks out as well.
The taste starts with a very subtle caramel, rolling into oak, tobacco, hints of vanilla, baking spices and moderately spicy black pepper. The finish is fairly long with oak, shy caramel and hints of spicy tingles.
As said it's really a good rum overall, but if I compare it to some of the other foursquare bottles, i'm missing just a bit of something.

A great blend of pot and column still rum, aged to a minimum of 14 years no sugar or color added.
It's great to see some of the industry moving towards unadulterated rums specifying in the bottle exactly whats the minimum age of the rum.
Molasses-based, with a great aroma, really complex and a strong long finish, a bit of spice, and leaning towards more of a dry rum which I love.
Great rum altogether.

If you know Foursquare, you know you won't find anything overly sweet in their portfolio. However, sometimes the dry oaky elements tend to negate the smoothness that should be a part of rums this age. However, Doorly's 14 is something completely different. It's one of the smoothest dry rums I have ever tried. If you don't like sweet rums, but you are intimidated by the harshness of some dry oaky rums, this one is deffinitely for you. You can even find some cocoa notes in there, which just underlines the whole profile. Amazing!

Doorly's 14 year is one of my favourite rum.This actually tastes slightly better than the 12 year and still has a wonderful finish that seems to last throughout. Overall this is a fantastic rum.

Lighter aroma. Taste is complex, starting with wood ending with fruity, citrus tones. Aftertaste is longer and pleasant.

Utterly brilliant.

The nose has wonderful full oak on it, coupled with spices and a hint of cedar. I do like what American oak gives to a rum.

The thing that struck me most was how unctuous the rum was in the mouth. It filled it with velvety smooth rum, that seems so much thicker and more viscous than the 12yo. Again the American oak shines through, which is what I really like in a rum.

The 48% is smooth as, and a really well judged bottling strength.

I did decide to compare with the 12yo. Straight after the 14yo it is unsurprisingly a disappointment. Still nice, and at 40% is an easy drinker, but the 14yo is so much more. What I would like to try is the 12yo at 48%. I think 40% does it an injustice.
