However, I was utterly unenthused by the quick finish, which seemed to be as wispy as a debutante’s handkerchief and provided nothing of consequence – oak, leather, a little tobacco and straw, more caramel and a vague winy note that intrigued but was gone way too quick. The Doorly’s Rum line is produced at the Foursquare Distillery in Barbados by Richard Seale and his team of experts. One of your two readers here: you do realize that drinking casks strength rum all the time has simply desensitized your palate and nose?Seale’s blending philosophy and barrel strategy made famous by Foursquare’s more recent rums is still demonstrated in the Doorly’s lineup, though I feel it’s currently being overshadowed by the Exceptionals, relegating it to something of an also-ran in a connoisseur’s cabinet. On the other hand, if growling ABV monsters and fierce pungency are not your thing, it would probably appeal in spades, be deemed a damned fine rum — and indeed, it is well regarded and held in high esteem by many, as a result of dialling into precisely those coordinates.

The Doorly’s brand was acquired by Foursquare in 1993, and it’s possible that the emergence of the El Dorado 15 YO the year before (it was one of the first aged premium rum brands regularly and plentifully issued by a major house) might have had something to do with that; and much of Mr. It’s a blend of pot and column still rum, some 90% of which was aged in ex-bourbon barrels, and 10% in Madeira casks (12 years in each). That it’s a well-made, serviceable, standard-proof rum for those who have never gone further (and don’t want to), I concede, no issues.I have also had the pleasure of learning from bar tenders, brand ambassadors, and other enthusiasts from around the world; each one providing their own unique point of view, adding another chapter to the modern story of rum. You can compare it to a guy who eats Madame Jeanette chili every day and claims regular Indian food is not spicy at all and bland. I quickly learned that not all rums are created equally and that the uniqueness of the spirit can be as varied as the locales they are from. It is a good rum serving as a transition between slightly sweetened rums like El Dorado or Dictador and drier, more powerful rums. When the rum begins to fade the smoky oak notes take center stage with a hit of black pepper and nutmeg, balancing the caramel sweetness.

com where I share my experiences and reviews in the hopes that I would inspire others in their own explorations. This inspired me to travel with my wife around the Caribbean, Central America, and United States visiting distilleries and learning about how each one creates their rums. What sharpness there was seemed to be more imparted by the wood, as it listed towards some oak influence, and maybe vanilla. Notes of red wine and blackberries mingle alongside dark chocolate and some faint notes of marmalade. Long time readers of this site (both of you, ha ha) will know of my indifference to the Doorly’s XO, the R.I’m not trying to be negative; I think your reviews are great and I especially love the background information on the brands. The closing three paragraphs of the Rum 66 review, published almost exactly a year ago, are as applicable now as they were then. This rum personifies everything I love about Barbados rum products and is one of my favorite discoveries of 2016.

Overall aromas were well integrated, and while for me it presented some of the same issues as the XO — too thin, too faint, too delicate — it wasn’t totally derailed by them either. The first sip of the rum envelops the tongue with a nice oak base with the rich caramel and vanilla flavors nipping around the edges. Using both column and pot still rums, this 12 year rum is aged using a combination of American White Oak Bourbon barrels and Madeira casks.Presentation wise the Blue Macaw is again present and the typeface etc is the same as the rest of the Doorly’s line up. After waiting a while for Doorly’s Aged 12 Years to be available outside of Barbados another new Doorly’s release wasn’t anticipated by myself.

I think that a lot of how you approach this rum and finally rate it will depend on where you stand regarding rums as a whole, and where you are in your personal journey.
