"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."

"Unfortunately, the rum in the mouth does not reach the goodness that promises the nose. In the aftertaste bitter."
