Foursquare Doorly‘s 12 Years

Vanilla, oaky wood, gentle spice — easy Barbados classic.

Aromas of vanilla, wood, caramel, and banana greet the nose, leading to a palate that balances peppery spice, vanilla, and mellow fruit. Consistently recognized as a solid, accessible value and a go-to daily sipper for the Barbados profile.

     Another great one from Mr. Seales and Foursquare that’s a little bit better than the 40% version. The nose is fruity, woody and spicy with an aroma of vanilla. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s round, fruity, spicy and woody with flavors of vanilla, oak and tropical fruits.

     Minder lekker dan XO. Vervelende nasmaak

     Compared to the Doorly XO, the nose is directly a bit smoother and more elegant. More chocolate and tropical fruit! Overall, however, similar. In the mouth a little more on the spicy and woody side, but still very tasty and mild. Also a rum with a good price. Now I'm still curious about the Doorly 14, which I will eventually get :-)

     A rum tasted at the Lucerne Gin and Rum Festival 2024. A nose of marzipan and spices with coconut and wood. Toasted hazelnuts appear on the palate, along with dried and yellow fruits. The finish is rather short, with bitterness, wood and spices. I like it less than the XO, as the wood is more pronounced.
