Doorly's 14-Year

taste - 9/10
smell - 8/10
sweetness - 7.5/10
price/value rating - 5/10

Smells very sweet, caramel, vanilla and dried fruits. The taste has a nice burn but gets smooth very fast. At first it's the caramel, vanilla and lots of fruit. After it settles the wood tones it down nicely into a complex mix of flavours.

It's an exiting rum to drink, pricewise around 60/70€.
It's one that I will keep in my (little) collection.

This bottle can match up to the FS ECS release for a more afordable price.
Just an amazing rum

Doorly's 14 year is one of my favourite rum.This actually tastes slightly better than the 12 year and still has a wonderful finish that seems to last throughout. Overall this is a fantastic rum.

On the nose: dark caramel, dark berries, oak, sweetness, caramelized fruits, a hint of molasses / cane sugar, vanilla.

On the palate: caramelized ripe fruits, molasses, dark caramel, oak, spices, black currants, dark chocolate.

Finish: oak, dark caramel, bitterness, dark chocolate with slightly tart fruits (burnt star fruit), long and intense, spices (cinnamon, cloves, cardamom).

Am Gaumen: karamellisierte reife Früchte, Melasse, dunkles Karamell, Eiche, Gewürze, schwarze Johannesbeeren, Bitterschokolade.
Im Abgang: Eiche, dunkles Karamell, Bitterkeit, dunkle Schokolade mit leicht säuerlichen Früchten (angebrannte Sternfrucht), lang und intensiv, Gewürze (Zimt, Nelken, Kardamom).

Just the way I like it, strong yet smooth with a fruitful and sweet sip.

Meget god smag, og eftersmag i denne rom fra Barbados.

Lighter aroma. Taste is complex, starting with wood ending with fruity, citrus tones. Aftertaste is longer and pleasant.

I tried that in bar in my hometown Volos Greece. Happily surprised with my choice!
I was not aware at that moment with this firm!It is a strong rum (48% after all)!Not so sweet and that is what it makes it great for me!! You should definitely try it!! I am considering to buy one for Christmas!
