The rum was aged mainly in barrels that had been previously stored bourbon. A smaller proportion was matured in casks that had been previously stored fortified Madeira wine. Aged for 14 years, with an alcohol content of 48%.

Bottle: Classic Foursquare, but without the the seal with the mill. The label depicts the very rare Ara Kaninda parrot.
Colour: Dark honey

Nose: One of the most pleasant I've ever tested. Even with the higher alcohol content, absolutely no alcohol odour. I could detect vanilla, cherry griotte, tropical fruit, sweet red wine and a wooden wine barrel in the aroma.
Mouth: It's rather drier and there's quite a lot of wood and alcohol sharpness. After all, 48% of it is already noticeable. Caramel, cocoa, pepper, burnt wood and unsweet cherries were recognized on the palate.
Finish: Medium to long.

Conclusion: This was my second rum from this distillery (after The Real McCoy 12), and even though they are more of a drier rums, they really appealed to me. They are fragrant, smooth with a lingering flavor.

Overall rating: 9 out of 10

The nose exhibits classic Foursquare characteristics with prominent notes of caramel and molasses. There is a slight hint of alcohol, but overall, it is quite enjoyable. The taste follows suit, featuring molasses, woody undertones, and a rich dark chocolate flavor. Adding a few drops of water introduces a subtle nutmeg element to the mix.

Rich amber color and nice fragrances. Needs ice to tame it but very drinkable. A definite step up from the XO which was my first Doorlyโ€™s.

I can appreciate this Four Square rum. For the price point $52 at Total Wine it has a nice nose, color, mouthfeel and aftertaste. Dry, spicy and woodsy but hints of floral and fruit. Not for those who like sweeter style rums. Having rated many ESC Forecasks it gets an 8. If I had not a 9. It is a bourbon cask rum. With a Madeira finish.

This is how I imagine how good rum should smell and taste - Punch cake. If you would like start exploring Foursquare ECS releases, but dont know if its worth the money, try this first. It reflects very well what Richard Seale is doing there for more then a half of the cost. A must have for dry rum lovers. It beats more expensive rums.

Nose - mulled wine with spice, dark chocolate, honey and raisins.

Taste - dry as all Foursquare products but you can still experience sweet notes. Dried fruits, red wine, honey, dark chocolate and spice. Warms very well. Good fruity finish.

In my opinion there could be more prominent smoke / oak notes. That would be a taste perfection.

The Doorly's line of rums is supposed to be the little brother line compared to the Four Square line of distinction rums from Four Square. This 14 YO and it's brother, the 12 YO have nothing to apologize for. They are worthy of serious consideration, even against the Four Square line. Aged in white oak barrels, with a ABV of 48%, this is a premium sipping rum.

Incredibly good. Has a very natural, dark, oaky flavour to it, on the dry side but not that dry, sweet spot for me. Also dark chocolate, brown sugar, honey, vanilla, spices, nuts, apple and some dried fruit. Quite sweet as well, but in a natural way. Woody flavour stands out the most. Very easy to drink for 48% ABV, really smooth but with a deep intensity. Super rich and refined flavours, all in perfect harmony. Will always keep a bottle of this one in my cabinet.

This is a great rum on par with some of the ECS but much better value in Barbados. Dark rich lots of lingering depth. Worked really well with my cigar pallet.

Wonderful rum and easily comparable to the ECS releases.
The rum displays all the hallmark traits of Foursquare DNA with superb construction. Less vibrant (hot) than the 12 but more refined, think jazz v acid jazz....

There will always be a bottle in the cabinet.
