Doorly's 8-Year

Od 5yo velky posun.
Farba svetlo jantarova.
V arome cokolada, vanilka, trochu karamelu.
Krasne vykreslene sudy, jemne whiskoidny, karamel, trstina a trstinovy cukor. Na chvoste sa na chvilu ukaze alkoholovost, korenie a dymovost.

I know the xo is technically 6 but I think they blend in barrels aged up to 10 and you can taste that.

I’m doing a side by side with both right now and the xo is superior to this 8 for my tastebuds.

Aroma - fresh grapes followed by cinnamon, orange peel, and banana bread

Taste - fresh bread followed by malted barley, allspice, oak, and barrel spice finish

As a way to be able to enjoy some aged Foursquare for well under $100(around $20 to be exact) it’s not too bad. The finish falls a little flat and boring, but just don’t sit for long before taking another sip. It’s usually the best way to enjoy rum anyways.

My first rum from fousquare distillery. I am surprised how it differs in taste from all the other rums I tried. Now I understand what you are talking about. Interesting and light taste, not too woody and leathery. Naturally sweet with floral and fruity notes. Would be excellent with a longer finish. A quality rum.

Nemyslím to tak, žeby bol o ničom, len je trošku nevýrazný v chuti a žiadna dochuť. Škoda, lebo na druhú stranu sa jedná o veľmi príjemné pitie

Very good sipper. Not as sweet as the XO. Which I really like. This 8 year is very tasty. Definitely a great addition to the collection.

Vůně: Dřevitá, lehce lak, přezrálé citrusy, ale slabá :(
Chuť: Nasládlá, štiplavá, hřebíček, dřevitá, lehce kvašené ovoce, čokoláda
Dochuť: Nahořklá, sudová, kratší
Dejte si 14y, toto vás neuchvátí ;)
6,5/10 s odřenýma ušima.

Great rum for a great price. Foursquare does never disapoint

Took some getting used to after coming from the Foursquares and the Doorlys 14, looking for a more budget friendly option. A bit dryer and flatter than the aforementioned, but its still quality, especially when you judge it at its price point. I’m keeping my shelf stacked with this and a Mount Gay XO from now on.
