Doorly's XO 6-Year

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.

I den här rommen är det mycket fat, gammalt tågvirke och skepp. Den andas historia och man åker flera hundra år bakåt i tiden. Inget extra socker i den utan helt naturlig. Ibland är den god ibland inte, mycket beror på vilket romhumör jag är på. Det känns som att det saknas nåt när jag dricker den. Smaken försvinner på nåt vis och den kan kännas tunn i smaken. Men det är ingen äcklig rom. Bara.......svår.....ibland

inadequate saturation for the icon XO, not worth the money, time - improved

van alle doorly's vond ik deze toch minder, weinig smaak

nez caramel gourmand , banane vanille
bouche, sèchement doux , légèrement boiser , fruité sans envolé particulière
longueur , boiser vite diciper , légère anesthésie , fini sur figue mure très légèrement

Picked this up at the RL Seale factory in Barbados...very good rum in the line of Bajan rums. Not necessarily my go to sipping rum but good on almost any occasion. Hints of honey and vanilla on the palate but definitely not too sweet

Bit too liquorice taste and maybe slightly bitter. Not terrible, but prefer other rums

Good and tasty rum.....a little sweet and dry after a short while.

Taste is not long and I get some banana and vanilla and maybe a little sweet licorice.

To be honest the main quality of this rum is its price. It's not a bad rum, let's get clear, it has no real other default than being a bit too light: You won't keep a strong sensation, neither good nor bad, while drinking this rum.
At least it is sold at the price it worthes.

I prefer XO rums as they consistently rate high for me

First taste I was pretty disappointed, no real flavour, a slight oak taste with an upfront burn and a medium tail of nothing, ice mellowed the burn but did not open up the flavour

The smell is plain, the colour is murky amber.

As a mixer its good, I use ginger ale, it helped this taste better

Price wise it is not top tier but expensive for what it is, go buy Bumbu XO for a better tasting rum that is cheaper.
