Foursquare Doorly’s 8 Years 8yr 40%

RX4127 Good Column Still Rum Under 50€
“Rich, balanced, good value; vanilla, spice, chocolate notes. A go-to sipper.”

Doorly's 8 Years is a well-crafted Barbadian rum produced at the Foursquare distillery, distilled from molasses using a column still and aged for 8 years. With a 40% ABV, this rum captivates rum enthusiasts with its delightful aromas of caramelized, vanilla, coconut, fruity and spice notes. On the palate, flavors of caramelized, spice, coconut, creme brulee, and woody notes come together harmoniously. A great option for rum punch, Doorly's 8 Years offers an excellent introduction to the higher-end Barbadian rums. Although not the most complex rum, it is well-appreciated and cherished by the RumX community for its authentic taste profile and good price-quality ratio.

“Overall a good everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account. The brand Doorly’s was founded in 1908 by Martin Doorly & Company, but is since 1992 owned and some years later produced by Foursquare and Mr. Richard Seale. The 8yo is a rather new bottling in the Doorly’s line-up that saw the light of day in 2016, in the beginning mentioned for the Australian market. It’s a single blended rum, a combination of column and pot still, aged in former bourbon casks of American oak whereafter it’s bottled without any dosage or additives at 40%.”

“A Doorly's that shows a good quality / price ratio. If we find the typical Bajan style, whether vanilla, spices, caramel, wood and coconut in particular, we discern appreciable notes of freshness in this rum. The rest of the register does not change in the mouth, with discreet but easily perceptible aromas. The finish is also quite short. Far from being the most complex of the rums, it offers however a good entry to the superior range of Barbados.”
