Doorly's ABV43 12-Year

Ottimo esponente selle Barbados, Rum maledettamente valido

This is what a rum should be. The aroma in the snifter is surprisingly sweet, knowing that there is zero added sugar. The rum is really smooth with an awesome finale. The color is amber. I'm really impressed with the work made by foursquare distillery and Mr Seale. Can't wait to try the xo and the R.L. Seale 10 years. They are not so cheap here in Europe (usually this is around 55€) but surely this was worth every cent.

Surprisingly delicate and light on its feet for 12 years of age. Fun to taste, this is a cognac lover's rum, with floral aromas and flavors. Eminently sippable, and fun to ponder over. Punches well above its price.

Amber, almond, affection. No need to travel to Barbados. I’m holding it in my glass.

Nadpis byl jednoduchý. Takový prostě je. Když máte kvalitní produkt, nepotřebujete ho krýt cukrem. Oproti Doorlys XO má navíc k chuti dřeva také výraznou sherry složku. Je mnohem jemnější než stejně tak úžasný Dos Maderas PX 5+5. U Maderasu mám pocit, že se právě krylo cukrem, ale dávám oběma 9b a to jen proto, že může ještě někde čekat 10tka.

Really well done.
It is not very easy to find.

I compared it side by side with the XO .... for me, the XO is smoother and the sherry notes make a difference.
Doorly´s XO is more pleasing to my taste, and cheaper.

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

Loving this one, the first bottle I show friends to let them get a taste of a proper rum.

Smoother than the XO with a more complex flavor of banana, Caramel and a hint spices.

This is what a good rum is all about. It's so nice in the nose after a few minutes of breathing. Nice notes of caramel, a bit of chocolate. On the tongue the alcohol is present but not disturbing. Great pleasure. Don't forget to smell the empty glass...a delight

This is an exceptional rum. It is complex but not overpowering. Every time you sip it you'll find something new. It's rare for a rum to pull off a really well executed dryness but this does it. Two tiny comments, firstly, probably wouldn't start someone new to rum on this, they won't like it, unless they're a whisky person it will put them off. Secondly, needs a cork not a screw cap. Otherwise, always have a bottle in your cabinet, it's great to cross compare with.
