Doorly's 8-Year

Beginnt sofort mit einem Überwältigenden Bouqet voller reifer Beerenaromen mit sanften Holznuancen.
Bleibt dann beim Trinken auf der fruchtigen Seite, leicht Süss mit etwas nussigem im Abgang.

I really like clasic 12y abuelo so I was curious about this one. I have to say I expect more but dont take me wrong this is a very good rum. There is just to much cognac aroma to my taste. Rum is very smooth and you can feel a lot of fruit in taste and smell.

This rum is perfect balanced between sweetness and taste of spirits. Hangs in your mouth for a long time and smells good.

I was thinking about this, it was like the Ferrand's "Plantation" brand rum because it was a cognac cask finish.
The flavor of Cognac was well harmonized with the rich flavor of Abuelo than I had expected.
Fantastic.
However too sweet for me.

This is a very good rum which I rate an 8 just like the Sherry finish for the quality. My preference goes out to the sherry finish.

Not the easiest one to drink but ohh my this one is good!

A dry and well balanced strong taste, the cognac casks finish it!

I guess this is not my type of rum, its kind of dry and has a weird flavor that I don't enjoy very much (may be because of the cognac finish). Its not bad overall and it looks good on my collection, however in my opinion its worth the price.

Fantastic and complex. So close to a 9 but just lacking a minuscule amount of depth and finesse on the finish. Same as the port finish: so close to being great (but just edges it). Decent value, grab a bottle.

From nose to finish this rum does not disapoint. Full bodied and just the right sweetness. Dark fruits with a hint of Sherry.

Sweet nose, with caramel vanilla tones. Sweet, and dry in the mouth and a long taste.
