Doorly's ABV43 12-Year

This is a nice light fruity rum. Little too light on taste but still good. Long burn.

Borderline overpowering mouth feel that slowly intensifies in the throat. Finish sticks around for a while in a good way. Charred oak, pecan, and slight banana flavors with tannins on the finish. Great sweetness profile and love the flavorful aftertaste. If you let it breathe for 10-20 mins. after pouring, it mellows the initial mouth/ throat intensity quite a bit. Overall another quality product by R.L. Seale at value pricing.

This is a good rum, but honestly I don't taste anything better than my go to Flor de Cana 7 which is far less expensive. It did reinforce to me that I don't have a very cultivated palate. I am a rocks guy but I do enjoy the sweeter rums which I have learned are artificial. The extra aging didn't seem to make a difference to me

My favourite rum within Doorly's range. Very dry butat the same time very smooth, gently sweet and oily enough. Perfect as a gift!

Opakovane som si ho kúpil hlavne kvoli jeho chuti ktora je vyzreta a citit dubove drevo od prvého nádychu...

Super smooth with a bit of smokiness - perfectly balanced.

I am a fan of Foursquare and Richard Seale. That being said this rum falls short of R.L Seale 10 year for me. It is a bit darker in color than the R.L. Aroma very similar but the Doorly's just seems a bit to dry compared to the R.L. and has a more prevalent whisky taste. Both are 43% ABV but the Doorly's just seems a little less smooth than the R.L Seales.

After a couple of emptied bottles of this beauty, I noticet it is missing in my cabinet on rumratings. This is undeniably a Bajan classic, crisp, entertaining and for a good buck. The nose is pure delight, strong but fresh, citrus fruit mix, dried fruits, vanilla, underscored by white oak and a hint of burnt caramel, the taste starts with sweet buttery caramel, then comes a whole palette of tastes of citrus fruits which gradually turns to bitter grapefruit and prominent oak, the aftertaste is long, pleasant combination of all mentioned components, with pronounced citrus fruits and oak (slightly charred). A must-have for all Bajan enthusiasts. Overall it is very similar to Mount Gay XO (I mean the new expression - three casks).

Can't be objective because I love it. Very complex, rich taste developing with time so you can feel every nuance without falling out of the whole composition. A bit sweet but rather dry, with fruits like apricot, banana, chocolate, tobacco, hints of freshness and long aftertasting. For rare homelike moments enjoying it.

When buying Foursquare products you can always expect quality rum and this time was no different for me - delicious spirit from Barbados!
