Doorly's XO 6-Year

Has enough depth and strength to come through the mixer. A real bargain at $20.

(2022, 6,0) lidt kedelig, og sprittet

Picked this up since I hadn't seen it before and figured a 6 year would be up my alley. It has a good amount of bite and burn and definitely feels vapory on your breath. Outside of that, there's not a whole lot going on here. Vaguely taste vanilla, caramel, and warm spice but the flavor is kind of lost in the burn from the alcohol.

I didn't like it more than I liked it, there was too much of a taste, something similar to furniture varnish.

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.

Can't help but feeling disappointed. I was expecting more complexity and richness when drinking neat and this is just ... pleasant. Nothing to make me buy another bottle. It does mix well though.

This Rum was recommed to me in Total Wine by one the sales associate, so I had to buy it. For the same price I can get a much better rum, which meets my expectations as a premium rum.

5.5 on my scale. Bought for a friend. Tried it over ice. Decent with a bit of an afterburn. Better mixed

Little bit to strong in my opinion. Whit some drops of water opens the Rum up more and gives an rich flavour experience

Nothing very special or noteworthy here. Pretty standard rum fare with a nice dry light sweetness on the backend. Not a bad value for $33 US. It’s good for sipping if you aren’t looking for anything bold or unique and it ships work well in any rum cocktail that calls for an aged rum.
