The awesome 12 Year Old Barbados rum from Doorly's, distilled at Foursquare! Over a decade of ageing has done this rich tipple rather well, as it's full of chewy toffee, tobacco and tropical fruit notes. This edition has been bottled at the slightly higher strength of 43% ABV.
Caramelised pineapple, candied orange and cooked banana, with dry oak and a pinch of tobacco.
Initial opinion, upon opening, wasn't the greatest. Kind of burbony scent with strong ethanol. The taste was still good and improved after couple of pours. Few days later, it all magically started developing: the chocolatey scent, smooth taste with good ABV and long satisfying finish. Even better now, 3 weeks since first opened. Looking forward to trying other Doorly's expressions.
This is a rich full bodied rum with a slight 'burn' in the mouth at the end. I don't have the best palate but could not discern individual flavours. Perhaps I might have enjoyed it more if I'd added a little water. Not really to my taste.
Amazing. I am now a convert from gin.
Everything you want from a good rum. No additives , great tasting. Absolutely superb rum and worth every penny. Enjoy with a few drops of water
Light and easy. A joy to enjoy.
