Other Info:

Distilled, blended and bottled by the R.L Seale company and Foursquare Distillery, Doorly’s is a tribute of the House of Martin Doorly, and the rum sustains the old Bajan family-owned business with one of the oldest brands produced in Barbados. Doorly’s XO is a premium product, made from selected aged rums that undergo a second aging in casks previously used for aging Spanish Oloroso Sherry. Foursquare occupies a comfortable niche, producing suitable quantities to export yet small enough to continue making delicious rum in their unique style. Doorly’s XO represents one of the pinnacle’s of their efforts.

Doorly’s XO is easy on the eyes, showing the kind of Deep mahogany amber color that often indicates long barrel aging and complex flavors. Aromas heavy with molasses, raw cane, brown sugar, cardamom and a pinch of anise, rise above an overall depth that is sweet with a delectable hint of alcohol. The initial taste is upbeat, with tamed molasses, tobacco, a little charcoal, and a mild earthiness that balances the sweet flavor. While the body is pleasant enough, it is lighter than the aromas would indicate. An initial warming in the throat during the finish gives way to a residual sweetness, that ends with a pleasing dry affect.
