Foursquare Doorly’s 5 Years

Overall an very OK everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account. The brand Doorly’s was founded by Martin Doorly & Company, but is nowadays owned and produced by Foursquare and Mr. Richard Seale. The 5yo is a single blended rum, a combination of column and pot still, aged in former bourbon casks whereafter it’s bottled without any dosage or additives at 40%.

Smooth, plain. Ok to drink and forget about it. No Caribbean, no fruit, no spice flavor. Molasses and wood. Taste is reminiscent of bourbon. That's not why I drink rum.

A slightly fruity and sweet smell, vanilla, a little woody. The taste is also somewhat fruity and sweet, slightly of vanilla and honey, in the aftertaste also a little woody.

Not exciting on its own but not bad, but it's great in cocktails and is currently my go-to for a Barbados rum punch. But it also works well in Old Cubans, rum and cola etc

Jednoduchý, krátky, bežné pitie ale lepší ako aniversario len taký jednoduchý

a good entry-level rum. Easy to drink, with gourmet notes of caramel, toffee and coconut, and a light roasted woodiness. Well rounded thanks to the Bourbon cask. Short finish. I'm also thinking of trying it in cocktails.

Really nice English style. Not in a funky way but more spicy.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

Very flat at the front of the tongue, unfolds only in the throat. Somewhat narrow.

The nose is rather tame with no sharp notes. Toffee and oak are most dominant with some berry like fruit and a pinch of salt. The palate has the toffee and wood from the nose but with more spice than the nose would let on. No fruit notes present but some biscuity sweetness. Some milk chocolate in the background. The finish is quite short and only really keeps the wood and spice from the palate. A little vanilla is present right at the end. It's a good entry level Barbados rum but for a similar price you can buy Plantation 5 Year and I prefer that despite the dosage.

Too thin and not excellent alcohol integration, but is a foursquare undoubtedly and at a competitive price.

... Foursquare je destilerka z Barbadosu produkujici uzasne rumy ke kazdodennimu popijeni. Je to rum, ktery oceni zejmena rumari, kteri maji plne zuby cukru a hledaji jemny, nasladly rum plny kokosu, vanilky, cokolady a karamelu. Proste prijemne a nijak agresivni chute.

Nice and clean rum, but also falls a bit short with me. I Find it a little lacking in flavor.
