Doorly's 8-Year

Foursquare is incapable of making a bad rum. I like this every bit as much if not more than many pricier rums. Think I like it better than the 12 year old. There simply is not a $20 rum that comes close. Using this as a mixer is a waste of excellent rum IMHO.

My usual daily go-to is Doorly's XO...I tried this on a whim and at $23 it was three bucks cheaper at Total Wine than the XO. The difference between the two is mostly nuance, I'm not sure I could tell the difference blindfolded. Both are good buys and don't disappoint. I've yet to go wrong with any product from Foursquare, even the absurdly inexpensive Doorly's 5YO ($31.99 for 1.75L) seems head and shoulders above any similarly-priced competition...the rums I've mentioned are inexpensive and not "sophisticated" maybe, but they don't taste cheap at all. If you want a more upscale sipping rum, Foursquare produces a number of those as well.

Doorly rums are great and the 8yr. is no exception. It ends up right where it's meant to be, slightly better than the XO, and not as good as the 12yr.

Very smooth mouth and throat feel with slowly growing intensity at the end. Honey, banana, dry carmel, with slight oak and vanilla on the finish. A lot smoother than the XO, but doesn't seem to have as powerful of flavors as a whole.

Overall, I think it stands on it's own legs between the XO and 12yr. as yet another good offering from a great company.

Pre mna velmi chutny rum hlavne kvoli jeho zaujimavemu doznievaniu chute ...

it s ok rum, no additives, cheaper than their XO but at the same level, also far away from Doorly's 12 and the excellent 14 YO, nose: alcohol burn, dry, in the mouth also dry with some fruits and vanilla, people can tell it s a bourbon drinker rum, yes it is but a solid one !

Doorly's isn't reinventing the wheel or anything, but it's a pretty good rum for the price. Light amber tone, with a mild sweetness, fairly smooth with a bit of heat at the end. Great for cocktails.

Cant go wrong with any doorlys but this is my least favorite of all the doorly products. Still very good and would recommend for anyone looking for an 8 yr aged rum, or a barbados rum.

This gets a big 8 and so close to a 9 simply because the complete package is truly worthy. The cost here is very reasonable, the taste and quality are top notch and the versatility of how you drink this is just brilliant.

As a sipper its typical Foursquare flavour but smoother than the XO, less complex than the 12 and 14 but truly holds its own for ease of consumption when more quantity over quality is needed (parties, bbq's, sharing! etc) It goes well mixed and doesn't get too lost in the mix...

Criminally underrated and highly recommended

prijs smaak verhouding nie verkeerd. leuk om een keer geprobeerd te hebben

What a value. $20 and a premium flavor. Foursquare distilled. 8 years in the same climate. Still a hint a of sherry.
