Foursquare Distillery Doorly's XO Barbados Rum 70 cl

Product Information

The Foursquare Distillery occupies the site of a former sugar factory that dates back to 1636 and, as one of the most modern and efficient rum distilleries in the world, is designed to be both highly energy efficient and environmentally conscious. Indulge in the exquisite taste of Doorly's 5 Year Old Barbados Rum, an exceptional Barbados rum produced at the renowned Foursquare Distillery.

After it was passed it created a two-tier system, altering the manner in which rum could be distributed in Barbados because distillers could only sell rums in bulk, which forced wine and spirit merchants to create their own brand. The “freshness” of the barrels, the blend ratios between pot-column distillates and Bourbon-Madeira aged components (and not only) can easily change the profile of the rum. I usually drink whisk(e)y and bourbon, and the first thing I noticed is that it's got a pretty strong bourbon flavour profile to it.

Adding in to the Doorlys range is their 14 Year aged Rum which is produced by the Foursquare Distillery and combines a blend of Column and Pot Still Rums, it spends most of its days inside Bourbon casks before a finish in Madeira casks.A rich, spicy yet subtle rum with surprisingly mellow and complex flavours resulting from its maturation in old oloroso sherry casks. Foursquare Distillery is always praised for its Exceptional Cask Selection limited releases, but sometimes it overshadows their main continuous brand, Doorly’s. L. Seale’s who kept the tradition and made Doorly’s their main export brand – they even kept the signature colourful macaw on the labels. I don’t know the ratio of the blend, but that’s pretty much the beauty of it, you’ll just have to taste it.

L. Seale’s built a distillery on the site of an old sugar factory, known nowadays as Foursquare Distillery and all those rums are now produced there rather than sourced from other distilleries. Zum Mixen wäre er mir persönlich zu schade - das ist insofern ein noch größeres Kompliment, da ich eigentlich selten Spirituosen pur trinke. 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. Spice galore along with rich tobacco as well, this is easily my favourite of the Doorly’s – would love it in a Sazerac.Spices galore on this one, kicking us off is some Ginger and Cinnamon before a Madeira Sweetness comes in to play with a Thick Jam like texture alongside before an Oak, Nutmeg and Giger infusion come to finish off. Doorly's Rum is produced in the Foursquare distillery by the which is occupies an old sugar factory which dates back to 1636.
