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. 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. 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.

Not my fave, as I immediately shared other peoples' views in that it's quite a dry Rum and I also prefer something a little more spiced and potentially with more sugar (El Dorado 15, Zapaca 23 or MG Black Barrel). Rums at Foursquare are a blend of the artisanal copper pot still and traditional twin –column still distillation.It’s the most versatile range of rums from Barbados and not only – if you think about it Doorly’s is one of the most diverse brands in the rum world (limited editions not counting). 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. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented here and that you always read labels, warnings, and directions before using or consuming a product.

Indulge in the exquisite taste of Doorly's 5 Year Old Barbados Rum, an exceptional Barbados rum produced at the renowned Foursquare Distillery. This is one of the best white rums out there, especially if you’re looking to make a Daiquiri – has a great amount of body and flavour alongside a very pleasant, creamy mouthfeel – I drink this neat whenever crave something coconuty (without any actually coconut added). The 12-year-old rum has notes of tropical fruits, toffee, banana, vanilla and tobacco, with a long warming finish from being secondary aged in sherry casks. Foursquare Distillery is always praised for its Exceptional Cask Selection limited releases, but sometimes it overshadows their main continuous brand, Doorly’s.It all started in 1906 when the Rum Duty Act changed the way the rum was sold and distributed across Barbados as the distilleries had to have a license and were required to sell rum only in bulk quantities of 45 or more litres at a time.

Doorly’s 12 Year Old is molasses based, pot and column distilled and aged for 12 years in both ex-Bourbon and ex-Madeira wine casks. Prepare to embark on a journey of depth and intensity, an exploration of a realm where flavour knows no bounds. This is considered to be one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly rum distilleries of rum in the world. Doorly’s 14YO – simply a fine spirit that can be enjoyed by itself at any time while it still works very well in classic drinks such as a Manhattan or Sazerac.This expression of Doorly's Fine Old Barbados Rum was aged in small, American White Oak casks for a full 14 years resulting ina rum that has a complex character with a delicate aroma that can only come from time.
