"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%."

"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."
