Foursquare Distillery Doorly's XO Barbados Rum 70 cl

Product Information

Now before I carry on I’ll mention that all the rums in the Doorly’s range are chill filtered and, besides the 3YO, have caramel colouring added (E150A) for visual consistency – this type of caramel is added in small amounts and does not affect the taste.

The distillery produces light rums in a threecolumn vacuum still and heavier rums in a modern pot still. It is quite layered, but as I said the finish is a little short, which is fine, this is meant to be mostly a mixing rum, and it fulfills its purpose perfectly. Thanks to the 1906 legislation their profession as blenders was better established as they were able to purchase rum in high quantities, blend it and sell it under their own label.It soon evolved into Doorly Macaw Rum and, although bulk rum was traded in casks long before, it became the first bottled rum to be exported from the island. This is a rum of boldness, where every sip reveals a tapestry of flavours that embody the essence of time and craftsmanship. Doorly’s 8 Year Old is molasses based, pot and column distilled and aged for 8 years in ex-Bourbon casks with, potentially, a component that was aged in former cognac casks for 8 years. The XO is distinguished by a second maturation phase in Spanish oloroso sherry casks, which gives it an extra aroma finish and a unique flavour profile to savour.

Spice galore along with rich tobacco as well, this is easily my favourite of the Doorly’s – would love it in a Sazerac.

You can expect intense aromas of toffee and vanilla, with a taste of dry oak, earthy vanilla, cocoa, raisins, charred banana, and a finish of dark treacle.

Zum Mixen wäre er mir persönlich zu schade - das ist insofern ein noch größeres Kompliment, da ich eigentlich selten Spirituosen pur trinke.
