An excellent golden rum from the R.L Seale's distillery in Barbados, Doorly's 5 year old is one of the tastiest rums available in Barbados to date.
The Foursquare Distillery occupies the site of a former sugar factory that dates back to 1636 and is now one of the most modern and efficient rum distilleries in the world.
It has been designed to be highly energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
The distillery produces light rums in a three-column vacuum still and heavier rums in a modern pot still.
It was not until the 1906 Rum Duty Act was passed that the industry began to develop as we know it today.
Prior to this, distillation took place on many of the plantations, but the new law meant the distilleries had to obtain a licence and could sell only in bulk.
A rum to savour, straight, over ice, with a little water or in cocktails. The rum that connoisseurs drink and enjoy.
Nose: A complex nose with dried tropical fruits.
Palate: A vibrant entry leads to an evolving palate of fruit, toasted coconut and oak notes.
Finish: Finishes with a fruity sweetness and warmth but has a good balanced, lingering taste. Butternut/Vanilla lingers on the finish as all in all this is a well developed five year-old rum.
