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%."

"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"

"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."

"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."

"Bardzo delikatny w koktajlach, całkiem dobry solo"

"Zapach: banan, karmel, mód, orzechy, kokosy, drewno, sól, śmietanka, odrobina masła, orzechy, klej Smak: Chipsy bananowe, kokosy, drewno, śmietanka, słony karmel, wanilia, prażone orzechy, lakier, czekolada, nutka roślinna, Finisz: oleisty, maślany, bananowy, lekko taniczny"

"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."

"Balanced rum with nice fruit and sweetness. Noted some nice vanilla notes pop with coke a cola. So far it’s been a nice mixer. Reminds be a bit of Four Roses Bourbon profile with fruit and wood/spice notes."

"This is an interesting rum for the price... on the rocks cam be quite harsh but used as a cocktail or cola it becomes devine... Really dry flavour but that's how I like it... Excellent with lime"
