Doorly's ABV43 12-Year

Very smooth and flavorful and fantastic bargain at $30

This would have been rated just a bit higher, but the overpowering alcohol burn and smell ruined it for me. I enjoy Barbados rum and am becoming a fan of Foursquare but not sure why they upped this to the 43% alcohol over the more ordinary 40% you see in most rums. I guess I'm used to a 12 year being a bit smoother.
Taste runs the normal Barbados flavors with a hint of the tropics in the background and a spicy pepper dryness with a slightly sweet and lasting finish. I am on the fence with this one. Not a favorite, but worth the price.

Zatiaľ najlepší nedosladzovaný rum. Kombinácia chuti a vôni je opojná. Na prve ochutnanie nič moc, ale dajte mu čas nájsť všetky chute. Je o to vzácnejšie a práve vďaka takémuto produktu som už zabudol na príliš dosadzované rumy

This is a nice light fruity rum. Little too light on taste but still good. Long burn.

Borderline overpowering mouth feel that slowly intensifies in the throat. Finish sticks around for a while in a good way. Charred oak, pecan, and slight banana flavors with tannins on the finish. Great sweetness profile and love the flavorful aftertaste. If you let it breathe for 10-20 mins. after pouring, it mellows the initial mouth/ throat intensity quite a bit. Overall another quality product by R.L. Seale at value pricing.

This is a good rum, but honestly I don't taste anything better than my go to Flor de Cana 7 which is far less expensive. It did reinforce to me that I don't have a very cultivated palate. I am a rocks guy but I do enjoy the sweeter rums which I have learned are artificial. The extra aging didn't seem to make a difference to me

My favourite rum within Doorly's range. Very dry butat the same time very smooth, gently sweet and oily enough. Perfect as a gift!

Opakovane som si ho kúpil hlavne kvoli jeho chuti ktora je vyzreta a citit dubove drevo od prvého nádychu...

Super smooth with a bit of smokiness - perfectly balanced.

I am a fan of Foursquare and Richard Seale. That being said this rum falls short of R.L Seale 10 year for me. It is a bit darker in color than the R.L. Aroma very similar but the Doorly's just seems a bit to dry compared to the R.L. and has a more prevalent whisky taste. Both are 43% ABV but the Doorly's just seems a little less smooth than the R.L Seales.
