"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."
"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."
"Excellent "daily sipper" Great banana and coconut on the nose. Unmistakably foursquare in the mouth, pleasantly soft with a pleasant woody note that still allows the fruity notes to come through. Finishes beautifully warm and vanilla-like"
"Doorly's 12er immediately invites you to enjoy its pleasant aroma with its combination of raisin sweetness, toasty cask, coconut, chocolate and vanilla. In the mouth, however, a rather unspectacular, bland woodiness develops through prolonged chewing, which leads to a dry and unsustainable finish due to the dilution to 43%. A pleasant and easy-drinking, light Foursquare, but one that is noticeably inferior to its 14-year-old "big brother"."
