Especially for the price, around $52ish USD at the moment at my local TWM. As a Bajan, it blows Plantation XO out of the water for a few bucks less (but in my book that's a low bar as I am one of the few on the planet that is not impressed with that rum, so take it as you will...).
A complex nose without being a mess, that translates into the palate - light vanilla, a fair amount of wood and lots of spice, some caramel, a bit of bright fruit and pepper. Nicely layered. The ABV 48% is right on the money - I feel it really lets flavors pop but without being too hot - it's warm, but not at all unpleasant, it does go down smoothly. Dry, but not like the desert. Well balanced overall. Dances on your tongue.
I definitely recommend this one! Well done Doorly's!

Smells great. Taste is ok. But no long aftertaste. Bit flat. That's a pity. Not really special. I give t a six.

So muss Rum schmecken. Warm und rund und doch auch noch eine gewisse HΓ€rte. VerdΓΌnnt mit etwas Wasser schmeckt der Doorlys 14 year grossartig.

Solid foursquare like always, consistently good, nose is heavy toffee full bodied and not watered down at all with its 48% abv, finish has peppery woody burn.

Balanced and complex. For this price it deserves a ten. Fruity and spicy in the same time...and chocolate notes! Excellent π

I generally enjoy Barbados rum, especially Mount Gay XO. I have also tried others from Four Square and rated them highly. Based on recommendations I was sure this was going to be a new favorite, so I bought a full bottle.
Iβve tried it 4 times now on different nights, and (to me) there is nothing but burn. I donβt really get anything on the nose, and the taste is just alcohol. I was expecting to at least get some wood notes based on the age. I thought maybe I was sick and lost my smell, but my other rums still taste/smell good. Did I get a bottle from a bad batch?

Very close to 12yo, did not feel much difference until you drink both side by side. Great nose. I prefer milder rums so rating it accordingly
Deze rum is niet voor mietjes heeft een sterke taste en de afdronk is super. Daardoor als je een paar slokjes drink pas echt door hebt hoe lekker ie echt is
Beautiful amber color. Nice woodsy smell, with a light butterscotch background. A light burn in the tongue and around the mouth. The sip gives a sharp bit of wood. Smooths out with the swallow with the wood notes, a touch of cinnamon and a very little bit of butter.
My highest praise is that I would buy it again.

One of the most pleasant aroma for me

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
