Doorly's ABV43 12-Year

This is an excellent rum. Nothing overpowering and has wonderful complex flavors of dried fruit, with a touch of spice and a wonderful subtle butterscotch after taste. I prefer this one neat as it accentuates the flavors, but it's still great on the rocks. On the rocks hides the more complex flavors, but hightens the smooth butterscotch tones. All said and done my local total wine has this for $21. There is nothing in that price that can compare. In fact, I'd put this up against rums double the price and it would be right at home.

This untreated stuff has all I need.... impressive nose, incredible taste and the leaving.... what the f.... love it!

Another outstanding rum from the Foursquare stable.. The screwcap is a turn off but then everything onwards is excellent ! A nice amber colour in the glass , maybe a bit of caramel colouring ? Nice medium legs , no sugar sticking this to the glass ! On the nose , sherry and more sherry. Very fruity.. also slight caramel or toffee. On tasting , its very sherry heavy but in a good way. Slightly spicey , oak , little bit of vanilla. This is an excellent sipper , a lot better than the XO in my eyes. Makes an amazing Old Fashioned.. Worth 8.5

This one is bit better the XO for me. The 12 year is mostly hard to get so XO is a good choice when you do not have 12 year around...

It is just an amazing rum! Barbadian rum is definitely my top rum destination. Classic banana flavor, slightly sweet and with an oaky taste. Aftertaste is a little bit spicy. The aroma is just great. Oh, and is cheap!

Overall this is a good sipping rum. Nice inviting aroma, not over sweet and smooth. Not too strong on the front end but does have a slight unpleasant lingering taste. For the price it is a good choice for people to try. Good for new rum drinkers. It just needs a little more flavor and depth to bring it up to the next level.

For the price (around £38) this is an excellent sipping rum. Not overly sweet with a nice balanced nose and taste.

Ottimo esponente selle Barbados, Rum maledettamente valido

12 Jahre im Holzfass merkt man ihm gut an, er hat eine feine Eichennote und etwas fruchtige Aromen.

Drier rum with lot of tones. Single casked unique character, thanks to mr. Seale untouched with any additives. Suited more for experienced rum lovers, but not bad choice for others too.
