Doorly's 5-Year

The youngest offering from one of the best in the business. Doesn't compare well to other Doorly products, but still a good 5yr.

Strong mouth and throat burn which warms and tapers off shortly. Oak and slight vanilla flavors- not a lot going on flavor wise. Great sweetness profile, but somewhat harsh finish.

Overall, an OK sipper, but would work best in drinks where you don't want the rum to make an appearance.

Very affordable sipper. It's not so dry and perfect for cocktails, however i will prefer it neat. Excellent for everyday drink. If you find it on sale don't hesitate and grab a bottle or two...

Для своего возраста совсем неплох. Барбадос не подвёл...

This has actually replaced the Zaya as our go to weeknight dram. It's great on its own, a great price point and readily available now. It's also very good in a cocktail or a punch.

I have a dozen rums for sipping in the $50-$80 range and have been searching for a go-to, more inexpensive aged rum for mixed drinks. First I tried a couple of Plantations--they're pleasant though rather sweet rums--then Doorly's XO and 8yr which I liked better but when I went to replenish them, they were out of stock. I had read about the Doorly's 5-year and gave it a try. I'm happily surprised... perhaps it's not sophisticated but it's smooth and enjoyable. I added a rating point for value--this was $31.99 for 1.75L at TW, an incredible bargain...it doesn't cost much more than the cheapies from Classic Club, Bacardi, Cruzan and Largo Bay that I last tried in college and will never again revisit...I'd have to become a devoted teetotaler if those were my only options. But if you're looking for a workhorse for your home bar that's decent and inexpensive, look no further...this isn't distinctive or exceptional but it's not harsh or raspy either and you might find yourself enjoying it on its own...it's the best inexpensive rum there is.

Easy to drink with the usual Foursquare DNA.
It usually takes several occasions to consume and rate a drink but I finished this in one day (long day) such is the likeability of it. Prefer the 8with its added depth and here they are the same price so easy choice to make.

Fin rom af en 5 års rom, 6,5. Tag dog storebroren på 14 år i stedet for.

Det er sgu en meget fint rom må man da sige. Så det så det.

Very good but plain and normal, no added sugar....

Nose: Some wood and some hints of liquorice, but unspectacular.
Palate: Really shy flavour. Maybe some hints of sweet chilli on the tongue. Dry.

Try the 5-year old Barbados Rum from Plantation instead.
