Foursquare Distillery Doorly's XO Barbados Rum 70 cl

Product Information

The pot still gives the rum greater complexity and depth of flavour and is truly an artisanal small batch process. Doorly's Rum has been made on the Island of Barbados since 1908 and was remarkably the first rum brand ever to be exported from the island. Head distiller, Richard Seale, is one of the region’s most innovative distillers and blenders and has a passion for producing perfect rum with great flavour. These cookies are needed for essential functions such as signing in, storing products in your trolley and making payments. To produce the unique character of Doorly's XO, very old rums are selected by the master blender and matured for a second time in Spanish oloroso sherry casks, producing a delicious fusion of complex flavours from the cask and the well-aged rums.

The nose is rich and sweet with notes of tropical fruit and toffee apples, the palate is full with a viscous mouthfeel. Finish wise we are left with a spicy and slightly heated end to the rum – white pepper and lots of ginger and a trace of cinnamon. RL Seale is one of Barbados oldest trading houses, a family-owned business whose involvement in rum-making extends from father-to-son since 1820.Martin Doorly’s company was registered in 1908, 2 years after the Rum Duty Act, and their Doorly’s Macaw Rum was the very first rum from Barbados to be exported pre-bottled rather than in a cask.

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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. This is on the woodier, drier side but it works beautifully and I will sip this on any occasion, preferably neat.This is aged and filtered to remove the colour and, while when it was launched it was completely water-transparent, over time the carbon filtration was reduced leaving it with a pale golden hue liquid. Bacardi 10 year old which is not mass produced is worth a try also if you enjoy these simlour styles. Although Doorly's rum is rarely referred to as Doorly Macaw Rum anymore, its bottles and packaging still tend to feature the Neotropical parrots, and the image is still a traditional and recognisable trademark of the brand. 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.

The choice of a Macaw as their icon dates back to the founder, Martin Doorly, who originally chose the beautiful Scarlet Macaw to appear on the very first bottles of Doorly's Rum.

Wer aber milden Rum mag, der auch eine leicht süßliche Nuance hat, der sollte diesen Rum definitiv ausprobieren.

Rum has been produced on the island of Barbados for more than 300 years, but it was not until the 1906 Rum Duty Act was passed that the industry began to develop as we know it today. That’s when the blenders entered the picture – they were traders that dealt with things such as rice, potatoes, textiles and much more, but they were also skilled in the art of rum blending.It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without the prior consent of Waitrose Limited nor without due acknowledgement. Taste - I know what other reviewers mean about the Banana, and a couple of drops of water bring it out even more, and further sweetness if that's how you prefer your Rum! In the event of any safety concerns or for any other information about a product please carefully read any instructions provided on the label or packaging and contact the manufacturer. Doorly's 14 Year Old is a blend of pot and column still rums, it has been aged predominantly in bourbon casks, along with a portion aged in Madeira casks, imparting a touch of sweetness.
