Excerpt: They are both great sippers, or in an Old Fashioned how I like to enjoy them sometimes. That said, I am looking forward for the soon to be launched Doorly’s 14!

House Review
Intro:
This is rum sourced from Foursquare in Barbados and sold through Total Wine and More in the USA. Carrying a modest price tag and a reasonable age statement, I was intrigued when I stumbled across a bottle on sale.
Nose:
Sweet sugar, pineapple. Faint clove, pepper, cocoa. Really sweet with a nice dry backend.
Taste:
Thin, no heat. Sweet, faint funky fruits. Vanilla, sweet orange peel, clove and some dry pepper.
Finish:
Short, mild heat/astringency. Mildly fruity and mildly oaky, but really not a lot going on.
Overall:
Overall, this is a fine, basic rum. Its not huge on flavor, but its also not really flawed in any big way.
Score:
5
