Foursquare Doorly‘s 12 Years

    Honest, easy Foursquare starter rum
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy smooth, honest rums like El Dorado 12 or Mount Gay XO but want less sugar and more Foursquare character, this gives you that profile in a very accessible package.

    Not really suitable for

    Seasoned enthusiasts chasing high-ABV intensity, big complexity or funky profiles; anyone who dislikes prominent oak or finds 40% rums too mild and “one-note.”

    Lots of vanilla! Really mild otherwise. Very smooth, not super interesting. Refractometer: 15.1% brix

    Another great one from R.L. Seale and Foursquare. The nose is woody and fruity with an aroma of vanilla. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s round, woody, spicy and fruity with flavors of tropical fruits, vanilla and oak.

    Nothing memorable. A simple but reasonably priced rum. For those who don't want to spend and commit too much.

    Brings the complete Foursquare DNA, but could also use a few percentage points more ABV. For drinks, however, always a good choice.

    Very nice fruity foursquare! Very dry, lots of wood but still a relaxed, uncomplicated sipping rum at a fair price that is even better in cocktails like corn n oil, Bermuda yacht club & co. But the doorly 14 is definitely a good bit better imho.
