Doorly's XO 6-Year

i hear a lot of this rum, but now i try it and im disappointed, to flat taste for me

I really like the Seale rums having tried Doorly’s 8 and RL Seale. I thought I’d try something new from Seale. I agree with many other reviewers that the sherry taste (with hints of black spice) takes away from a good aged rum. The price was excellent and if you like a quality slightly flavored rum, go for it.

Harsh for the throat. Little bit dissapointed. With some ice it is ok. Aftertaste is good.

This Rum I have had for a time and tested it together with friends this weekend. some of us think that it is a little bit swwet, but as always taste differs. I think it does a good job and gives you a lot of Rum delivers like vanilla, aftertaste and honey.

Found this one on sale during a monthly special at total wine. Perhaps even more smooth than the 12-year-old, this XO is remarkable for its texture if just a bit shy on the extra flavor notes found in its older sibling.

Výborná chuť sherry a jemnost, veliké překvapení, můj oblíbenec

This rum works well in cocktails or with coke. At this price it's worth owning to use in such drinks.

Not sure where the previous reviewer paid $25-30 for this but I got two bottles at Total Wine in Florida for $15 each.

RL seales is known for advocating purity in rum and as such doesn't sweeten or doctor his rums in any way, so might not appeal to some who are used to sweetened rums such as Diplomatico, Zaya or Zacapa,, but this is rum as it should be.

First thing, I have to point out, is uncanny resemblance with more popular El Dorado 12.
Sweet sugarcane/sherry aroma accompanied with sharp alcohol scent. Rich and elegant.
BTW, rum and cherry cask is good combination. Anytime!
Taste is in contrast. Little bit behind the scent. Low sweetness, sugarcane of course, oak barrel, with dry wooden end. Literally oak wood taste.
Presentation is nice, classic cardboard box with lot of trophies on the back and standard Doorly's bottle which I consider attractive and suitable for rum. ABV 43% is big plus.
One thing, which spoils overall good impression, is the stopper. It is made from some kind of rubbery plastic with wooden cap. I do not want any plastic sh*t to touch my food or drink.
Why they do not use the cork for god sakes? Natural material!
Anyway, I decided to give 8 despite the stopper, 7.5 would be my rating. Overall 7.1 is well earned.
I like sweet rums, this is not exactly my "cup of coffee", but I understand there are plenty aficionados, who like less sweetness in rum and I just can recommend this tasty piece.

Very nice rum. Nice notes of caramel and fruit. Very mellow, barely any harshness. Similar to the 12 year Doorly, maybe just a step below. Also a fantastic value at the Total Wine price.
