This is by no means as good as any of the FS ECS rums but for the price it is not bad. The 40% abv, however, is too low to rate this rum any higher.

Really good taste and color, nice smooth end and great price
7/10
This is one of my favorites. It is fantastic straight or over pepsi with great taste.

The brand Doorly’s was founded in 1908 by Martin Doorly & Company, but is since 1992 owned and some years later produced by Foursquare and Mr. Richard Seale.
The 12yo at 40% is a rather new bottling in Europe, and the 43% version is much more common.
It’s a single blended rum, a combination of column and pot still, of which 90% is aged in former Kentucky bourbon casks and 10% in former Madeira casks whereafter it’s blended and aged for some additional time before bottled.
The aromas is fruity and spicy with hints of vanilla, caramel and coconut.
In mouth and at palate is complex, round, spicy and sweet with tastes of banana, caramel, oak, tropical and dried fruits.
The medium long finish is round and tastes more or less as at the palate.
Overall a round and good everyday rum, but it doesn’t really reach the level of the 43% version.
